Leonard Nimoy to Play Spock in Next Star Trek Movie

Posted by Zonk on from the leonard-nimoy-must-be-rolling-in-his-grave dept.

mcgrew writes "The AP is reporting that Leonard Nimoy will 'don his famous pointy ears again' in the next Star Trek movie, due out Christmas of next year. From the article: 'He greeted the crowd with a Vulcan salute. Nimoy was joined by the newly named young Spock, "Heroes" star Zachary Quinto [Sylar], who bears an uncanny resemblance to Nimoy. Both Spocks were introduced by the film's director and co-producer, J.J. Abrams.'"

    And sometimes, just sometimes, something can be successful BECAUSE it's good.
    That's true, but it doesn't hold for the instances highlighted (Lost and Alias, although your mileage may vary), so I don't get the relevance of your comment.

    I wish it wasn't cool to be a curmudgeon.

    How is it curmudgeonly to point out a truism of art? (See: Art History, Roman Theater through Carrot Top.) Or is the meaning of "curmudgeon" in the 21st century "someone who doesn't share my tastes in pop culture, and must therefore be a sourpuss about said culture in general?"
