It's a bit strange. I think people care about Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home, but the Next Gen movies are, in retrospect, pretty meh, and Into Darkness is competing with another 3000 articles about Into Darkness. Also perhaps most regulars haven't got round to seeing Into Darkness yet.

This is pretty funny -

There are exceptions to the rule, yes, and ways of transitioning from one side of the line to the other.

The diner scene was ok, there were moments in the fight scene where he has his memory erased (look at when he gets pushed over for example) and the camera placement in the deli scene at the end where the camera was in the wrong place.

It's just an expanded version of what I wrote in the comments

The basics of the the rule are if two people are talking facing each other you draw an invisible line from one head to another and the camera stays on one side of that line. It then gets more involved, but that's the gist. Overall their camera placement is hit and miss - good sometimes, other times it's just in the wrong place.

Really hope I don't see a privatised police force in my lifetime but it seems like something that will happen sooner or later. Education, medicine, prisons - all heading that way.

I liked the short overall, good ideas, lacked a bit of polish (eg the guy at the end was cleaning his hands on a rag for a crazy long time) and the angles were frequently wrong (they need to learn the crossing-the-line rule).

They're claiming someone's written the music, but the track over the end credits is from the Resident Evil movie. Why put something copyright on your short after all that effort?

But yeah, it was cool. Enjoyed it.

kewl

Will do today.

DiCaprio replaced DeNiro as Scorsese's muse. They can't occupy the same space.

Do leave a comment on the front page if you can.

Is Spielberg directing, or producing through Dreamworks?

[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - Solid

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock - Not bad, better than I remembered. Still it's hard to see past the notion that the entire movie is about undoing plot threads from the last one (Genesis doesn't work, Kirk's Son eliminated, Spock not dead - The End)

Olympus Has Fallen - Actually a really good movie. Surprisingly vicious R-rated mayhem. The attack on the White House is pretty jawdropping. Best Die Hard movie since Die Hard 2.

I have to say I've just got into his movie star interviews in the last couple of weeks while doing the Trek transfers and I'm really enjoying the honesty of them.

Also I watched Search For Spock this week. Kirk's son does not die off-screen!

It's going to get awfully crowded by the last review.

Phantom Menace -

.

In case any of you are wondering what Mahmoud has been doing this week:

Is this one ready? Is there an intro?

There's a double Mason here, which means one comment was probably someone else?:

AM:  It's so very powerful. And the best part is that Kirk is not alone. Apparently only Spock thinks that this is a good idea.

AM:  Even the heads of the Federation are jittery at the thought of working with their long-time enemies.

Watched the movie last night. Will comment on the front page.

Cool. Susan Hill didn't write a novel for this, did she? Isn't it an original-material follow up?
