Hmmmm....

From today's IMDB Studio Briefing:

Trekkies Rejoice; Kirk & Spock To Return
The hopes of millions of aging Trekkies that their revered movie/TV franchise would be revived got a boost today (Friday) when Daily Variety reported that Paramount has signed J.J. Abrams (Mission Impossible III) to produce and direct an 11th Star Trek feature. The trade paper said that the screenplay, to be written by MI3's Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, will concern the first meeting of James Kirk and Mr. Spock at the Starfleet Academy and their first mission. In effect, it revives a project called Star Trek: Beginnings that produced a script by Erik Jendresen. It was unclear what, if any, role longtime Star Trek executive producer Rick Berman would play in the new project.

So, assuming they're not going to a) use virtual actors or b) try to convince us that Shatner and Nimoy are sin their 20's, who the heck are they going to cast for those roles?

It's a WTF sort of night

This is weird- It's been a warm day and though it's cooled down quite a bit it's still nice and I have the window open... and very faintly I can hear bagpipes.

Who the hell would be playing bagpipes at 10:45 on a Friday night, outdoors, in a residential neighborhood?

It's not even Burns Night!

ETA: It seems to have switched over to organ music now. Maybe there's a law against bagpipes after 11pm. :)
