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. 

I just put a comment in the like section by mistake. Please go read it. I will say that I totally agree with your comments. Wanted to say that new trek is wonderful, and don't understand the lukewarm reception that Chris Pine gets. He was born to play James T. Kirk. These so-called Trekkies seem to forget the message of Spock's IDIC. And also how tacky [I know I sound like a broken record] the original Trek could be, and how Shatner's over acted, and how bad the first season of Next Generation was. I have been a Trekkie since seeing the first episode of original Trek. There had been nothing like this on TV- a science fiction program that explored not only space, but the moral issues facing our times. I know this dates me, but I've seen everything in the Trek universe through both new movies and can't wait for Beyond.

Ahhh, that post with the gifs is so gorgeous! \*-*/ You're wonderful (also I was reading your tags and am filled with love for them. XD I'm so tired of all the unfair hate new Trek gets too. So many people pretending they're morally superior by irrationally hating on it while ignoring all the plot holes in the past. I adore classic Trek, I'm a lifetime fan, but I can't stand this BS fake elitism from the people who hate any new Trek regardless of quality etc. It's depressing. So yay for love!)

Thank you for saying this, love! <333

Yes. All these years AOS gets so much hate to a point I think people just bash it out of habits. For what purposes? They made it very clear that AOS sets in a different timeline and also in today’s market. While I appreciate the beauty of TOS, they were cast for small screens. You wouldn’t expect to see big explosions all the time in there. And as the days go on, TOS films did get bigger and more action-y. That’s just how movies work. It’s just not fair to compare AOS and TOS. Can’t we love them both at the same time? 

I think AOS is doing a good job of attracting new fans in the Star Trek franchise. And let’s be honest, they are quite decent films. I love watching them and I am so hype for the new movie. All three trailers by far are fantastic. I just don’t understand people hating them because they use rock music (come on that’s a reference to the first movie) or Jim riding a motorcycle is too Fast and Furious (like, what? He rode motorcycle in the first one and what do you expect him to do?) or Enterprise is blown up again (I mean… they are in space and if explosions happen, you can’t expect the space ship can dodge the bullet, right?)

The condescending hate is not the moral of Star Trek .

Beard good, mustache NO! Really, no!

I can’t believe Sam Kirk is gonna be in Beyond!

Clinton has gone through hell and back. She's an advocate for women, equal pay, immigration, health care. She's weathered everything. She's eminently qualified. Really love what Bernie says, but Republicans would brand him a Communist...and also he's Jewish. Americans are not ready for him! PS: I'm Jewish and understand the mindset of the majority of Americans. It will be hard enough to elect a woman. And most importantly, we seem to have forgotten that the USA is a country of immigrants. And each wave has been demonized and put down. We forget very quickly.

Dear everyone who says “Oh it doesn’t matter who I vote for, Trump will never win”… it does matter. It absolutely does matter.

Britain gave in to the racist and xenophobic rhetoric. And the consequences to the EU - and to the world at large - will be catastrophic.

I don’t care if you hate Hillary. I don’t care if you think Hillary killed your cat and stole your yogurt. I don’t care. You have to vote for her. You HAVE to vote for her. You cannot allow a megalomaniac racist piece of shit like Donald Trump become the President of the United States of America.

Do not give in to fear and hatred. Do not allow xenophobia and bigotry to run this nation. Do not. Do not. Do not.

I never thought I’d see the day where a nation like Great Britain allowed hatred and fear to rule. Don’t let that happen here.

Can't tell you how worried I am about this Presidential election. Trump scares the hell out of me. Hopefully, we will overcome. Here's to President Hillary Clinton!

A warning to Americans...

For those of you who think there’s no way Trump could get into power:

My country just voted to leave the European union. An idiotic decision which is already seeing the currency fall and a country divided by fear, lies and racism.

For the first time ever, I am ashamed of my country. I am so tired of old, angry, white people deciding my future. I already didnt have much of one! I already was sure I was never going to own a house. I am already sure that I was never going to have a lifelong career or a golden pension or anything like that. I’m already aware that things are worse and the more I type, the angrier I become.

I cannot believe we let the Brexiters win. The Brexiters who literally evoked NAZI PROPAGANDA in their campaign. I cannot belive what we’ve done. I am physically ill.

I am ill, I am tired, and I am moving. Fuck this shit. I’m out. Let this country burn with its ignorance. I’m done.

Never underestimate angry, old racists. They voted for the Nazis and now they’ve voted away the rights of a generation.

Chris Pine. No contest!

Who wore it better?

You must live in San Francisco

millennial dreams: to have enough money for a 1 bedroom apartment, bills, and groceries. 

No!

pirk?

That face! Beautiful

Thank you! Don't understand why he was left out!

i fixed the new poster

This is priceless

I am so entertained by Spock’s expression when Jaylah sits in Kirk’s chair

That there is a Vulcan pissing himself with laughter

Thank you. This needs to be said over and over and over again until the last poll closes this November

This is priceless!

It's actually his Hello or High Water red carpet.

Chris Pine attends the ‘Hands Of Stone’ premiere during the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals on May 16, 2016 in Cannes, France.

But they could if they wanted to...and by totally kick-ass officers and crew to boot!!!

Star Trek's Underappreciated Feminist History

Starfleet women were the futuristic version of Helen Gurley Brown’s 'Single Girls' —they did not cook, clean, have kids, or get married. They were competent professionals.

Congratulations to you. Just remember to take it one step at a time, one day at a time.

So yesterday was six months since I got admitted to hospital and six months since I truly committed to recovery. It’s been six months of ups and downs. Anorexia shattered my life apart and I’ve spent the past six months putting everything back together again. Today I had lunch at my grandma’s and asked for ice cream with my raspberries, this year I will eat my birthday cake, I will go out for meals for my friends birthdays, I will do the things that I was too scared to do when I thought I wasn’t good enough AND I will fight this disorder.

I agree. He wouldn't be waxing so poetic about Wonder Woman if he was so miserable. According to the director of The Finest Hours, he was the leader, the one who got everyone through a very cold, difficult shot.

In reply to the anon asking about the rumours of Chris being a diva - The Sun has a reputation for rumour mongering and gossip-ing. It is highly likely that there was one occasion where Chris maybe went a tad OtT (or maybe he upset someone and they decided to make some money off it). As he has rarely caused any kind of controversy on a set before, I would be inclined to ignore the rumours - particularly as he seems so excited about the project.

Beautiful!

This Photoshoot from DuJour.com is fabulous. One of the best photo sessions that Chris Pine has done!

Hello gorgeous!

Might be time to go all oscar all the time and change my name to oscar-farr?

No!

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!

This just so sweet!

oH mY GOD

Actually, the original script is much better!

Baby Pine!

Happy New Year!!!

This is the best yet!

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

Reblog if You’re Excited for Star Trek Beyond!!!

This was for his film, Comancherio

Chris Pine for Red Nose Day

This photo is amazing. One of the best shots from Into Darkness. Does anyone have Chris Pine in this scene from another angle?

Armani Code- So much better than 1st ad campaign. He's beautiful.
