    Calm down dear...

    This term is not exclusive to IT.

    Advance word that Abrams’ franchise reboot...

    The first reviews of JJ Abrams's reboot of the space saga are in, and they are overwhelmingly positive.

      I've heard some of us look like Garry Bushell

      Now he looks like a right tw@t. Apparently his alter ego on here is as well according to some friends of mine who know of him.

      On them! On them! They fail!

        I'm sure Zeity will be happy in the Kobeyashi Maru scandal gets brought up...

          Serious case of denial you've got there

            For an "avid" fan that's some error!

            Scotty is played by Simon Pegg

              Bones is Karl Urban IIRC. He was in those tedious films based on The Hobbit computer game, and also Xena. Does knowing that make me a geek?

              I've watched a couple of episodes of the original proper Star Trek the last couple of days, and you forget just how good it was. Only the sexual attitudes make it seem dated. This new film (from what I've seen of the trailers), seems to be a special effects / explosions / lots of shouting Hollywood cyncial cash in completely missing the point of what made the series good. In other words: tulipe.

              But I might go see it anyway.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                It does have the very gorgeous Jennifer Morrison in it though
