When I'm not sleeping, I'm doing something else that closely resembles sleep.
Looks like Captain Kirk’s hubris may finally cause his undoing. I say that because it’s alluded to in the fantastic first trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness which dropped today. While plot details remain muted, this J.J. Abrams directed sequel has all the original reboot cast back aboard the Enterprise and battle stations ready. Rumor…
Last night the anticipated trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim was loosed on the internet. For me, it’s a bit of a letdown; what I see feels too damn similar to a mishmash of “Godzilla,” “The Big O” and “Battleship” right now. The hokey battle speech by Idris Elba doesn’t help much either.
