Spock is sexy glaring like a runway model…ehg that’s not in continuity.

No, sorry. Just no. Not going to see this, not excited. It’s final evidence for me that the whole franchise is stalled and they don’t know what to do next. Seriously, guys in Kirk and Spock drag?

SERIOUSLY? Damn.

Is it just me or does Chris Pine’s head look abnormally large in that photo.

He looks more like Jimmy Neutron than Captain Kirk.

They look like a couple of teenagers heading off to the Halloween costume party.

Plus…did we walk in on something? Sheesh.

re:metrosexual kirk

Agree with a lot of your post…BUT have you forgotten the tons of eyeliner Shatner had on in the original series…he pry paved the way to me being the metrosexual man I am today!

Fair enough, ejulp! You’re right about Shatner and the eyeliner in the early episodes of the original series… I’m not sure that they used it as much later on. Then again, I think the lighting was different in later episodes, and a lot of other changes as well. Nimoy wore quite a bit of makeup himself, probably in order to pass as more “alien” or something.

So, you’ve got a point But still, Shatner wore the makeup well. Even if the term “metrosexual” had been around then, I don’t think Kirk would’ve been described as such. I’m sure Chris Pine’s a nice a guy and all, but I simply don’t see Kirk when I see him. Same goes for Sulu, Uhura, and the kid with the Brillo pad on his head playing Chekov. I

‘m not even sure about Quinto at this point… I was convinced he was a great choice for Spock, but the pictures I’m seeing lately are making me think otherwise.

You’re right about Heroes in general, ejulp… The show is CRAP. I thought that when it first started. I decided to stick with it for a while, figuring most shows need a bit of a shakedown cruise, and near the end of the first season I thought the show was starting to really become something. The episode “Company Man” was excellent! But then they did this lame ripoff of the X-Men’s “Days of Future Passed” and the season finale was dreadful. I gave up completely two or three episodes into season two, and I never went back. from what I hear, I haven’t missed much. Anyhow, I think Quinto’s problem on that show has been the hackneyed writing and lack of direction.

I hope I’m wrong and the Star Trek movie is a lot better than I expect it to be. You’ll have to post your thoughts here after you see it… If true fans seem to mostly like it, I might be convinced to go after all.
