Stuff below the fold

According to the UKMail, the new Startrek Movie will be a hit.

But why do all the faces in the photo look alike?

The answer: They casted young hot actors, not character actors, like the original show. They all have perfect faces (even the ethnics echo the idea of white upper class beauty, not the beauty of their own culture).

Peggy Noonan wrote last week that with the economic downturn, Hollywood might start replacing glamourous look alikes with actors who looked like ordinary men, like Clark Gable.
One hopes so.
It's getting harder and harder to tell the characters apart in a lot of movies.

It's not StarTrek, but one wonders how Captain Kirk would handle this:

The spin on "he's not a vicious pirate with a submachine gun, he's just an innocent kid" spin has started in the media. He even cried in court, poor dear.
It's a bit hard to be macho when you are not terrorizing unarmed Pinoy seamen with your AK 47.
