I've said this before, but I don't feel attracted to celebrities because personality plays too large a role in attraction for me. I sometimes feel attracted to the characters portrayed by celebrities in films or television shows, since they often have a well-developed character that you can start to feel like you know. But the celebrities themselves appear as concrete walls to me; I can't see anything about what's inside them.

I also don't see how it is possible to find someone's attraction for a person you find unattractive to be sickening. Even if you find the person in question to be sickening, the mere fact that they make someone else feel happy is worth celebrating.

I'm guilty of looking up celebrities that I find attractive to see if their personality is attractive too.

Stalker.

Yeah, I think "focusing your energy" as Thork so eloquently put it on celebrities who don't know you and have no interest in knowing you, and who play fictional characters for millions of people, is a little unhealthy. I don't get how people develop crushes on celebrities, when their chances with them are next to zero.

I thought the movie was pretty great. I liked the parallel to the original Khan saga.

I thought it got a bit silly, to the point where they basically just threw logic out the window and copied the ending of TWoK. It went beyond being a homage.

It would be nice if you would confine the spoilers to the Star Trek threads, or at least warn when you're about to give away the ending (not that I wasn't expecting it, honestly).

Somebody stole $350 from my desk.

It was money I had saved from my last job. I've narrowed it down to two suspects. I also accidentally drank beer that was full of cigarettes, ruined a relationship with a lovely lady, and, in the ultimate display of depravity, sent Thork this hilarious PM:

Maybe you should keep your money in a bank, like the rest of us.

$350 is pocket change.

Well if it makes you feel any better I completely disagree with him. Only one situation was similar to the original movie and I thought it was a logical homage.

There's probably more shit I'm forgetting since I saw the movie late at night with friends that talked through it.

Yeah, I was actually gonna say, most of those points were explained. The only part I really agreed with is the romance sublot. Not a particular fan of that.
