Anyone know if Starship Troopers 3 is Starship Troopers 2 bad or if it has OK combat scenes?

I really do wish they'd recast Spock, though.

Do you have someone in mind as an alternate?  I didn't think Quinto was bad.  I wonder if you are bothered by the fact that he appeared more emotional than Nimoy in the role.  This bothered me a bit too, but I mean this is a directing issue and not an acting issue, I think.  I thought about this a lot and concluded that Abrams/the screenwriters were attempting to underscore the fact that Spock is in fact half-human... something not always as obvious with Nimoy's Spock.

Eminem did Spock in the We Made You video. Was he better?

That's part of it, but they set that up acceptably so it wouldn't be enough on its own, and I agree that it's largely a product of the (god awful, let's face it) script.

No, my problems with Quitno are that 1) he looks wrong in that make up to me (maybe it's because he's close enough to looking like Nimoy without quite looking like him, sort of a Spock uncanny valley) and 2) that his entire performance seems tinged in menace, which seems weirdly out of place.

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

8.8 Goddesses of Chaos & Destruction out of 10.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yes, they're cool. It's not an horror flick.

Watch it, it's worth it.


Latest flick I saw : Jumper, Gawd Hayden Christensuck can't act for shit.

I also saw Star Trek, I liked it. I like the new jumbo size (bigger then Battlestar Galactica) Enterprise.
