Bones: Spock! Do a mind meld with Jim. If anyone can get him out from under the influence of the insurance companies, it's you. You're almost as logical as New York Rep. Anthony Weiner.

You have to have a script to work with in order to do the novelization. An outline would be horribly inadequate. You also hope for supplementary materials.

Transformative: Le Cinema de Michael Bay

Some 43 years after it began, and seven years after the movie franchise seemed completely played out, Star Trek is making firsts again. And so far, it's the most popular movie of the year in America.

The Box Office in Review for 06/20/09

There's the Star Trek solution of changing the time-space continuum, but I'm hesitant to recommend that because of the damage it might do to the Obamas' new White House vegetable garden.

Star Trek: J.J. Abrams Is a Neuroscientist

Charles Warner | Posted 07.17.2009 | Entertainment


Charles Warner

The risk-taking, emotional, intuitive Kirk and the logical, rational, conservative Spock need each other. They are two integral parts of a complex, effective decision-making system.

The Insanity of Ayn Rand: The Fountain-Brain-Dead.

Tallulah Morehead | Posted 07.05.2009 | Entertainment


Tallulah Morehead
