William Shatner is Kirk, Starbuck is a man, and Boomer is black, that's all i have to say on that.

How come no one objects to James Bond being recast, but recast Kirk and it's "my childhood's been raped"?

There can be only one.

Still, the current Bond is inferior to all those who came before him.  He's a Bond for the modern age;  No subtlety or charm, just technological tricks and violence.

Nothing wrong with that.
I for one was tired of Bond flicks being 2 hour episodes of Remington Steele.

People still hate George Lazenby.  He lowered expectations to the point that no one will complain no matter who is cast as Bond.

The Lazenby one makes a great party backdrop video. you can do great MST3000 style commentary tracks of your very own.

This.

Daniel Craig isn't too hard on the eyes and interesting.  I'm mean, Miss Moore? 

[Sophie Scholl]

Richard III, the 1995 Ian McKellan version which made the events set during 1930's Britain a la the more recent Baz Luhrman Romeo + Juliet.  It was definately visually nice, as well as well acted.  Kate Steavenson-Payne was rather attractive as Princess Elizabeth.  I was rather disappointed in the ending though, and how they filmed it out and dragged it on.  The ending was too brief by far and felt rushed, though I think this probably had more to do with budgetary constraints not allowing for a true full on battle.  Overall, it's definately good for a viewing, if only to see the style the infused it with.  I give it... 7 Nazi inspired boar banners out of 10.

Shocking I say, shocking!  Visuals and acting trumping script and story?  Impossible sir, you have never previously expressed such ideas and ideals for film!

Was it simply in passing Kat, or was it a legit meet and greet type thing?  Either way, a nice event.

I would give him Best Actor for that performance. 

Love Kirsten Scott Thomas's Lady Anne and Broadbent's Duke of Buckingham as well.

Did he explain to you what acting is?

No he didn't.

That's the second one of those I've seen.  I guess I just don't get them.  They are supposed to be humorous, yes?

I think the scripts pretty well-written :p

I love Kristen Scott-Thomas.  God I love that woman.  She's stunning

I think I would have liked it better if I hadn't been as familiar with the play and the real events.  Knowing what they cut out and blended bothered me, though they generally pulled it off coherently to the unknowing viewer I should presume.  The end though was just... not good.  The chase and death scene being the biggest offenders, though the falling into the fire was well executed.
