I would be so stoked...

I submit the borefest Star Trek: Insurrection for nomination as the weakest of the four TNG movies. Or was it that bad you forgot about it ;)

Before The Winter Soldier, the Russo Brothers had only worked on sitcoms like Arrested Development and Community. So the precedent is there. And who else worked on Community? Justin Lin.

Yeh I'll take anyone over Orci, but I don't take his involvement with the Cornetto trilogy and Spaced to mean much since he was only one part of a talented team. He was also a writer on Paul, after all. I'm not completely dismissive of the good qualities he might bring to this project, I'm just not totally sold on the…

Star Trek *can be* great storytelling about the best and worst of human nature as we explore the galaxy and our own condition. So far, no Star Trek movie since Undiscovered Country has…

Spaced, The World's End, Paul, and Shaun of the Dead.

Boldly going where no product placement Cornetto has gone before... (Shut up - someone had to do it.)

We don't. We know we're fucked no matter what we do. We can only try to minimize the consequences of being black

Cops killing with impunity is a feature of our criminal justice system, not a bug. This is what it was designed to do.

We don't.

Today's announcement doesn't just leave me speechless. It truly makes me wonder how any person with dark skin can live in this country and trust that the systems and institutions that make it so great will work for them. Then you sum it up far too pointedly.
