Just a little something I saw and had to share.  Love to do some philosophical thing about how words can hurt, and words turned loose in the abstract can have unintended consequences, but it’s too early and I need more coffee, so I’ll let the video stand on it’s own.  More or less.

Not going to go into too many details and spoilers, but we caught Star Trek last night and loved it.  Great movie, and I will pay to see it again on the big screen, just because I don’t think our home setup could ever do the special effects justice.

Great story that showed respect for what came before while still opening the door wide open to taking the franchise in a fresh, new direction.  Pre-movie canon can peacefully co-exist with the new storyline from where I sit.  I particularly enjoyed the performances by Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy (and Jacob Kogan for that matter) as Spock.

The only possible reason to endure that ridiculously long football game this afternoon has now been shot down by the internet.  And waiting until May just became that much harder.

Wow! Amazing how quick a Monday can turn from sucky and bleh to really, really good with one simple click of a link. New Star Trek trailer here or here. [via Kama]

I know this marks me (yet again) as a geek, but how can anyone do Jane Wyman’s obituary without mentioning her role as Spock’s mother?
