I think you're exactly right. Abrams seems to be keen on loading up the cast on people that "the kids" like in a desperate bid to make it seem hip. Between that and the "LOL THEY ALL MEET AT STARFLEET ACADEMY" plot I've heard about, this sounds like it's going shoot itself in the foot trying to be edgy and…

yes mad
That is a .gov address. It's good to know the Bush administration is concentrating on the important issues, like guilting kids into thinking sex is dirty and bad and will kill you, so that when they finally do give in to the frustration, they'll be sure to not have any kind of protection whatsoever and thus…

Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look.

i'm not sure what's more annoying…
The people who always show up in this column to accuse Amelie of perpetual eye-rolling hipper-than-thou douchebaggery, or… no, actually, I think they annoy me most of all.

i think you mean…
Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston.

oh yeah?
Well I won several spelling bees! Which, in hindsight, may have contributed to my delusion that minor academic triumphs are at all relevant to… well, anything ever.

faithful? hardly.
Other commenters have already pointed out the flaws in that assertion, so I'm just going to say that when I watched it for the first time a few years ago, I expected much more from it than a campy (albeit high-budget) bloodsucker flick.

the stone roses?
I'm not sure how to feel about that.

i'm a fan of sugary pop
But this is just terrible.
