It's official! Well official enough for me, anyway. Time for the REAL bitching to commence!

Before I commit to this thing, I want to be clear on something - the poll results are binding on the studio, right?

I mean, I don't want no 5-4 Supreme Court mucking about with my vote on Pine.

I think we're mostly over it already. What a disapointment. :rolleyes:

You people have no stamina. We bitched for five years straight in the ENT forum.
yes cos you got five years worth of news, and 4 seasons worth of episodes, to pick apart and whinge about.

there hasnt been nearly enough come out about XI to start a full on bitch session, and that probaly wont be till it comes out, or at least post filming.
 
for those who are interested the following are still available for .net and .com

and my personal favorite for the haters....jerknotkirk

I considered buying them and all and cybersquating....but am curious to see if anyone actually buys them
 
This is awful. This is unconsciable. How dare anyone say that replacing Jeffrey Hunter was a good move!

Uh, and as for Pine, no comment. I'll tell you how much I loathe or like him as the intrepid Iowan after I've seen the movie, just like everyone else - yes, including Quinto (the vote's still out in my view if not in anyone else's.) :)
 
There are some unanswered questions:
-- How well can he sing "Rocket Man"?
-- How will he get along with Pegg and the other little people?
-- Will he properly fill out over time?
-- Does he want to direct?

Only time will tell.

LOL! :bolian:

Temis hit the nail on the head. The complaints have only just started, and as I've said before, it wouldn't matter who was hired for the role. People would be going insane even if they pulled a "Polar Express"/"Beowulf" and CGI'd Shatner into the part (though that would be cool, granted).

I know nothing about Chris Pine, and for me that's good. He's a better choice than someone with a history - just look at the responses already to Simon Pegg's casting as Scotty.

At least Pine looks like he could be a Starfleet officer. I had worries that they might cast someone in his teens.

Cheers!

I can see him as Kirk, potentially... though he seems, well... too TALL. Maybe it's just the way he's been photographed, but one of the things I liked about Kirk was that it was his ATTITUDE, not his HEIGHT, that made him a stand-out. So, how tall is this guy anyway?

That said... he has roughly the right facial structure, jawline... I can easily imagine him with the "Kirk Smirk." I wonder what his voice sounds like? Shatner's voice is pretty atypical... it's harder to match his voice than his face (after all, Shatner was a "pretty boy actor" himself, wasn't he?)

I'm cautiously optimistic re: him. We'll see. I think they've done well with Spylark. And I can actually imagine EoMerCoy working (if he can actually pull off a convincing Georgia accent).

That said, I'm still reeling over some of the "second banana" casting choices... :rolleyes:
 
I voted that I didn't like him. I still hold out hope though, I based my vote on his look but I would like to hold out hope for this and hope her turns out spectacular. As much as I may not like some of the casting choices, it's not my movie to make and the creative team has to do their thing, as a fan I can just hope for greatness.
 
I want Chris Crocker to be Captain Kirk.

This guy can really act and has great drama and presence.
Remember his famous YouTube Speech,Leave Britney Alone,it was the best ever.He is more Kirk then Kirk was Shatner was Kirk was Shatner.


here is the wiki entry:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Crocker_%28Internet_celebrity%29


here is a transcript showing his way with words:-



"How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Britney after all she has been through.!

She lost her aunt, she went through a divorce. She had two fuckin kids.

Her husband turned out to be a user, a cheater, and now she's going through a custody battle. All you people care about is….. readers and making money off of her.

SHE’S A HUMAN! What you don’t realize is that Britney is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about her.

She hasn’t performed on stage in years. Her song is called “give me more” for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!.

LEAVE HER ALONE! You are lucky she even performed for you BASTARDS!
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!…..Please.

Perez Hilton talked about professionalism and said if Britney was a professional she would’ve pulled it off no matter what.

Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time.

Leave Britney Alone Please…. !
Leave Britney Spears alone!…right now!….I mean it.!

Anyone that has a problem with her you deal with me, because she is not well right now.

LEAVE HER ALONE!"

But watch his/her video for the full impact.
 
I'm sorry, but this Pine fellow looks to much like the Texans ex-quarterback David Carr. I hate him already.

This movie is gonna suck now! :lol:
