I'm not a fan of space so I won't see it. <br />Is is really true what you said about the explosion or sex/love scene in the first 17 minutes of a hollywood movie?! <br /><br />I can advise you to see Millenium, a danish film if I remember correctly, from a Sweedish best selling book. The 1st female character is a great mix of strengh/weakness, and the movie is very dark.(In France the subtitle of the movie is "millenium: the men who didn't like women").<br /><br />Also, if you're really bored and want to have a good laugh at a terrible movie, watch The Room (written, played, directed, produced) by Tommy Wiseau. The female character is so evil and whinny it's not even realistic (the rest of the movie isn't either anyway...).Lucienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6584387067222362803.post-8472240934540552232009-05-14T16:32:00.000-05:002009-05-14T16:32:00.000-05:00re: skirts

I agree with your assessmnet of the makeout/underwear scene, that it develops Kirk's character (which, according to my trekkie friends i went with, is a big part of his character in the original series). I appreciated the storyline of the woman he kept seeking (i forget the name too) being the love of Spock...<br /><br />What bothered this female the most was the token short skirts and tall boots on every female cadet/crewmember. The crowd scenes of cadets walking between buildings or running from the drill on earth really bothered me. I saw myself and my fellow women as only accepted when showing leg - showing meat. When dolled up for the men. <br /><br />Is it really progress if we have "equal opportunity" in the job place but have sexist uniform requirements?<br /><br />Yeah yeah, went with the era back then, and fit with the original show. But that doesnt mean I have to accept it. <br /><br />(but i did really like the movie)<br /><br />*eliseelisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144331456053314345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6584387067222362803.post-8925487068160013262009-05-11T22:39:00.000-05:002009-05-11T22:39:00.000-05:00I would be interest to hear your thoughts about th...I would be interest to hear your thoughts about the relationship between spock and the woman (don't remember her name) on the ship. She in some ways seemed to fulfill the traditional gender roles, but was definitely more than just eye candy. Any thoughts?dwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048591309493536774noreply@blogger.com
