My BIGGEST concern is the casting of Marlon Waynes. For the love of Crom, why does that guy continue to get work?

Diversity of taste. It's why total bilge like the latest Star Trek is popular, but not with everyone.

Marlon was the only thing I liked about Dungeons and Dragons. As for Star Trek, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to completely divorce myself from the original characters. Admittedly, this movie was much more exciting than any of the Next Gen movies(and I'm a fan of Next Gen in general), and better than two or three of the original series movies. That said,(and I've said it before) it would be nice to get some new ideas from Hollywood. Instead of Close Encounters 2010, 2001:A Space Remake, and Bladerunner 2:Electric Boogaloo. Maybe Brendan Fraser, or Nick Cage are available to portray Rick Deckard.

I agree with this completely.

I agree with the Hollywood sentiment. It would indeed be nice if they were able to come up with some original ideas. That being said, it is nice to see movie adaptations of things I've always wanted to see (like G.I. Joe, for instance).

Nice pics, by the way. It's nice to be able to put some faces to some names.
