Movies of 09, but really just my rant on Star Trek

I have been home sick from uni for the week and decided to start this as something to do in my time of illness. Due to being a uni student I am required to spend my years of study completely broke. This becomes a problem especially this year with all the great movies that are coming out that I want to see. Xmen origins, Star Trek and Harry Potter will all be released over a close couple of months, and they expect me to pay to go see them? Bwahahahahaha not likely.

To be completely honest the only reason I really wanted to see the Wolverine movie was because of the inclusion of Gambit, my favourite Xmen ever. Even if he is played by some pretty boy Canadian I am willing to give him the benefit of my doubt until I see him play the character. At least as long as long as Taylor Kitsch doesn't cause the same problem Orlando Bloom did in Lord of the Rings. Mainly the squealing fangirls that always felt the need to sit near me in the cinema. And the last few Harry Potter movies have left a lot to be desired, mainly by leaving out most of the book, so it's likely I could give it a miss.

So that just leaves Star Trek, a movie which has become highly hyped and controversial since it was announced as being in production. Now really do people worry that much about cannon that people are going to get their knickers in a twist over whether Kirk can drive or not? The part of the movie I'm most looking forward to is the bit shown in the Trailer where Spock goes all Sylar on Kirk's arse and chokes him, cause seriously who does Kirk not shit? He's a poncy pretty boy who spends his days shagging his way through the universe. By the way, serious kudos to Zachary Quinto for making Spock into a spunk. Even with his sideburns shaved and his eyebrows waxed and extended he is still the prettiest boy on that ship. And who didn'd smile when Uhara gave him a hug in the trailer? Speaking of transformations I'd also like to talk about fellow Melbournian Eric Bana's gruesome transformation. And by talk about I really just mean to say, shit he's ugly. I mean who goes out of their way to make him look ugly, oh no wait that was the people who made Chopper. But seriously that is one brilliant transformation, this gets to be one of the movies that I wont be drooling over Eric Bana in, I'll save that for the Time Travellers Wife later this year.

But anywho, my personal opinion on this movie? (Spoiler Warning for the countdown comics) Any movie that spawns a comic series that resurrects Data is officially ok in my book, and as for cannon? It's an alternate past people please just get over it and move on.
