    Witchville. It was pretty bad but any movie with Luke Goss half naked is worth watching

      Finally got to see most of the new 'Star Trek' movie. (missed the first 10 mins or so, and a few minutes here and there)
      I got the feeling that some prior knowledge of the setting would be ideal...am I right?
      (I've watched most of the previous movies...I just don't remember most of the details. Did the
      Spoiler:
      time travel thingy change anything major? Or was Vulcan already destroyed in the prior movies and the various series?
      )
      It was kinda nice, but I'm still not a fan of 'Trek.

        Star Trek 2009 is a complete reboot of the franchise. You don't need to have seen any prior Trek to follow the movie completely.

          Iron Man 2

          Not as good as the first one but still entertaining.


          RE: Star Trek 2009...which I love, btw....
          Spoiler:

          Vulcan still existed in original Trek. This movie created an AU by blowing it up. eta: Nero going through the blackhole or whatever that was created the AU. but the big difference is now Vulcan is gone.

          IMO always implied.

            re: Star Trek clarification
            AHH. I see.
            Spoiler:
            A reboot w/ an AU, huh?
            Huh. Oh well. Makes more sense, then...I guess.

            Just wondering: were the engagement ranges for the weapons ever given, for either Star Trek or 'Wars? (sorry, still reading Honorverse stuff, plus the LoGH stuff I watched...kinda want to 'compare' out of curiosity)

            Oh, and re: the new Star Trek
            Spoiler:
            I don't recall ever seeing Enterprise's weapons 'rapid fire' like that...is that for the movie only? Or did that happen in the various series or the previous movies?

              re Trek:

              Spoiler:
              Well you create an AU with a reboot and then they don't have to try to strictly adhere to established canon. I'm certainly looking forward to the next movie.
              IMO always implied.

                In fact it is probably better that way.

                  Not specifically. There's been lots of instances of being "in range" and "out of range", but it's never been especially consistent. Just depending on what the storytelling demands

                  It's mostly new to this movie. The Defiant in Deep Space Nine had "pulse phasers" that worked in a similar fashion, but the way they work in Trek2009 is an entirely new phenomenon for the Kirk era.

                          Splice last night. Very interesting story, well directed if a bit slow. David Hewlett gave a nice performance, as did Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley.

                          Plus I have a mad crush on Sarah Polley, so that makes anything she's in great

                            The two chronicles of narnia movies, they were kinda cool. Not much fantasy stuff out there. I liked the books better because my imagination wandered more.

                              Definitely liked the two movies but the books we're way more interesting I thought. The next movie, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, premieres on my birthday December 10.

                                Avatar - I want my 2 1/2 hrs back.

                                I should have quit watching at about an hour in when I thought it was still an so so movie that's just not my type of story.
                                But I watched to the end - and now I think it's a pile of cliched crap.
