It's also funny how DeForest Kelly was always a skinny guy with a slight stoop, not even a little bit imposing.  On the other hand, the new McCoy could tear the rest of the cast limb from limb like they were a bunch of Uruk-hai.

Well he does have practice at it.
And then there was that time he beat up the Rock.

Yet he couldn't beat Matt Damon :(
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

Because it's untrustworthy.  It gave King Kong an 84%, for heaven's sake.

Movie critics are scum.
How dare they give it such a low score! :mad:

the top critics - the ones who know something about film - gave it 76%.

which for 8th graders, in case anyone happens to teach them, is a B.

the movie about Donkey Kong (The King of Kong) got 96%. :P

AND I am still waiting for my 600 word review. since it's been a few years since you have promised us that Tim, it better have some good writing, fresh insight,  serious mythological exploration supported by a thorough bibiliography as well as correct footnote style.

Amazingly this movie is starting to rack up very high scores in the major papers over here.

Rotten Tomatoes has it 94% positive, with 93% of the cream of the crop!

its now 90. if it continues to drop at this rate, we should be in King Kong B territory in about a week.

That's a C. :mellow:
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.

Audio review on All Things Considered was entirely positive, beyond noting that the plot disappears halfway through the movie (but noting that nobody will miss it, as the rest is just so much fun).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Bayraktar!

No, Tim's special, but his grading scale appears to be the standard one here in the US.

Yet, if you actually do the work and don't go out drinking every other day, it is easy as pie.
