Movies I am indifferent to: Star Trek : 2009

I have finally found some time to watch "Star Trek 2009" today; the first thing that hit me like a rock was that, because I have never ever seen any of Star Trek previously, I could not understand a thing of what was going on. But I guess that making a stand-alone, easy understandable film for people who have never heard of Star Trek wasn't the priority. I have researched the topic of Star Trek on Wikipedia and safely proceeded ahead. I quite liked the film overall, haven't seen anything too outstanding, and Mr.Spock made me cringe every time I have seen him on screen as I was afraid he is going to eat the brains of Captain Kirk. The best thing about the film were tattoos on Eric Bana's forehead. And young Kirk was quite nice to watch.

There was one annoying little thing in the form of Pavel Chekhov and his over-emphasized Russian accent. There seemed to be people from all races and backgrounds on the board of "Enterprise" : Asian, African, other races. None of them spoke with any accent. The single Russian on board – yes, he spoke with a hugely overdone Russian accent. Because Russian people speak with accent, NO MATTER WHAT. And they will continue to do so in the distant future.

Reason 502 to watch Chuno: For those fans of manly friendship and manpain

Chuno is still going stronger with every episode, finally venturing into the territory of manly angst and friendship bigger than slavery and death (I am not a slasher but this episode almost made me one):
