Yes, ladies and gentlemen, nerds and nerdettes, and geeks of … well, geeks are genderless:
we at the ol’ raincoaster blog have an announcement to make. We know who will play Kirk, Spock and McCoy in the new Star Trek XI film.

It’s. Matt. Damon. As. Captain. James. Tiberius. Kirk.

Naturally, Adrian Brody is the logical choice for Mr. Spock of Vulcan, a man with far too much innate dignity to allow himself to be referred to by a euphemism for a bathroom function.

“Dammit, Jim, I’m Gary Sinese, not a necrophiliac with a badge!”











And Haille Berry as Uhura? Trouble is, Haille’s a bad fit ‘cos she’s all used to, like, doing stuff in her movies. Not sure she could sit there with a Christmas ornament screwed into her ear saying “Hailing frequencies open, sir” and “I’m picking up a {faint, strong, imaginary} {trace, signal, rumour} ….”
If Gwen DeMarco can do it, Lt Uhuru can just suck it up too.
No way!
Hi,
Saw you on Iain Dale’s blog.
Came a few days back when I saw the big squid on the news and thought of you.
But you had a crap picture of it so I clicked away.
Hope all’s well
Steve
Fuck you, that was an incredible picture. I thought I looked lovely.
All’s well, can’t find the guy who owes me money so I’m living on soup, nothing new there.
*looks down*
we really are.
Don’t worry: your cat still loves you.Oh, what am I saying? It’s a cat.
This is how screwy my life’s been this week. Technically, they should have picked Ben Affleck since he overacts more than Matt, although Damon did go a bit over the top in Dogma . . . .
But Ben could never pull off the galactic gigolo thing. Matt’s got that shaved-chest hottie vibe, whereas Ben will make a perfect Vulcan ambassador. If you saw him in Paycheck you know he can turn off all expression at will.
