My favorite line! Also "cuff him"
You should have let me sleep.
Everyone should see this movie. It's haunting, beautifully acted, and breathtakingly stunning visually. Chris Pine had the more internal, harder role and he's fabulous.
Why in the hell did you agree to do it?
Because you asked, little brother.
A cat is a cat is a cat!

This is so right on. He would have brought a lot of elegance to the red carpet. Really missed him
Very excited, but upset that there's such an uproar about the 1st trailer. It's just a minute and 25 seconds and totally out of context, as these usually are. I think it's just the beginning, so just everyone calm down
Reboot, reboot, reboot!
Kirk and Spock
I'm an old Trekkie, and I just don't get all the vitriol aimed at the new movies. I saw the original first episode in Sept, 1966 and just love the new movies. I was a total Leonard Nimoy/Spoke fan and now love, love the new cast- especially Chris Pine. He was born to play James T Kirk. Don't know why he gets such grief. What he said about burying the message- the cerebral bits within the action is right on point. Otherwise, how do explain the failure of The Finest a Hours in the wake of the mediocre Superman vs Batman and it's ilk. Infuriates me. Audiences have been numbed by all the comics and video game action. Action and noise are now how movies are measured. And the Star Trek universe was filled with shot-um-ups and the Enterprise being damage and destroyed [twice]. So called fans seem to have very short memories, maybe from all the noise of action films. There were deep moral discussions in Into Darkness, but guess they didn't want to recognize them.

gtakei just fanning the hardcore antijj trekkies madness at this point. i had this epiphany last night through reading some of these people’s comments. they constantly insist trek should only be cerebral, and damn the rest of fans who wouldn’t care, cause the hardcore trekkies WOULD. and it hit me, they don’t WANT trek to be mainstream. they want it to be their private little club. its hipsterism at its very worst.
old school trekkies are legit the worst. they want trek to be like how they remember from either tos or tng and refuse to move forward. they hate abrams verse and anything new and will probably hate the new show too. the new tv series can be the best thing ever and they will still probably hate it if it has one too many explosions or cgi because those arent authentic to the ‘real’ (what does that even mean??) star trek. and takei is just bitter for some reason idek. i just lost respect for him because 90% of his followers are just like him and hate anything new. and takei can hate all he wants, i dont care, but dont fucking diss the franchise that gave you fame less than a month before the new movie comes out and a week after the cast went through a horrible trajedy cause you want some clicks and thumbs ups. fuck him.
What a fabulous book!

Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.
I wouldn't want to give an opinion until I see the movie next Friday. He's made Kirk his own, but his work in People Like Us was wonderful. Too bad it was not a success with movie viewers.
Do you think The Finest Hours will be his best film yet over Star Trek? This could be something close to Leo with the Revenant, don't you think?
I think there are different opinions regarding what Chris’s best film is, anon, so it’s debatable! I also have a feeling that Chris’s own opinion would probably be largely different to the general audiences’. At this stage, it’s very difficult to compare Chris’s role in The Finest Hours to anything while it’s not released, but I believe the film itself has much more of a period vibe to it than The Revenant, and I don’t think it’ll be nearly as gritty, so the sort of work entailed is probably quite different from actor to actor. I’m sorry I cannot say more, anon!
I really haven't figured out why McCoy says this. A bit of a continuity problem? Could be sarcasm or irony, but why. It was such a special moment when Spock tell Bones that he has always respected him.
