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?"

    Alias has forever put Abrams in the black book with me.

    Yeah, he knows how to tell a fun story, but sheesh. The hidden messages in Alias were creeeeeepy!

    It was a long, drawn out argument for the use of torture and the goody-goodness of the CIA, with the main character's Daddy who looked the spitting image of George Bush when shot from key angles at key moments in the right light, all of which was so plainly on purpose as to make me wonder who the heck was paying the bills on that set.

    I never watched enough 'Lost' to figure out the politics on that show, or what the underlying message is. Anybody sifted the poop on that one? I can't be bothered.

    My guess is that Abrams is going to try to sell us on some psychology which will benefit the on-going genocide of everybody with brown skin in the Middle East.

    He'd better watch out though. J.J. is a Jew, and even working as he clearly is within a Zionist agenda, the screaming Jesus freaks in the White House are only playing along with Israel so far as they have to. Game theory states that when the time is right, you stab your friends in the back. The U.S. doesn't keep allies.
