The sad fact is that we are simply bankrupt. I blame Congress for making corporations into super-citizens. If the rich and corporates actually pulled their weight instead of just leeching off of society, then we’d be able to afford a stronger military.

@Jason : Do you know what the provenance for the image used in your blog post is? I’m interested in using it for a presentation at the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries and I’ll need to credit it.

True Story!

You know, if this review had been a movie I’d have walked out in the first five minutes. As it was, it was so lazy I couldn’t read past the fifth line.

I just argue that he isn’t Superman and leave it at that.

This is a huge mistake on Marvel's part. This will turn out like The Prequels. People only think they want Spider-Man...there will be consequences to just dumping him in so suddenly.

The way they kill is brutal. Like an alligator death roll except just with part of your neck. They're like the corkscrew of doom.

I am also apprehensive. While the new Star Treks are fun movies to watch they are much worse with regards to plot holes than the prequels were. Honestly, while everyone hates on the prequels the fact is that they were great ideas with poor execution. While much Abrams work are bad ideas with great execution.

Crossguard yes, if it was like the energy thingies that General Grievous's bodyguards used in Revenge of the Sith. But the nightmarish thing in the trailer will surely lead to the removal of your own fingers.

You seem to have missed this very excellent Korean film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt202552…
