I don't really think you're in any position to complain about the way in which people disagree with you. I listened to two hours of people trying to enjoy a movie while you complained about the tiniest of nerd issues.

Kirk being promoted to captain makes perfect sense in the context of the movie. A bunch of officers died, Kirk proved that he was talented and a leader, so a decision was made.

Now, I'd understand your complaint if Kirk was, say, a Starfleet ROTC dropout or something.

Did you watch the movie? The whole freaking Earth defense fleet got blowed up. That was like, thirty thousand commissioned officers.

You don't think it makes sense to start promoting the smartest people? It's not like Pike didn't know what Kirk was capable of.

Three friends in your head…

…and one guy that you want to punch.

So where is my Star Trek commentary?

Up In The Air was a forgettable disappointment. Good acting, bad script, barely serviceable direction, and incompetent editing.

Democracy is stupid. Bring on the guest.

I never saw this movie until you told me you were recording a commentary. I watched it, loved it, and have now been waiting for like eight months for this commentary to come out. Good on you.

Black Hawk Down might actually work in 2010, now that every one of the actors is famous and can actually be distinguished from each other.

Lemme try that again.

Oh I dunno Teague I've only been telling you you need one for the past year.

It's just that it's a hell of a lot of words to say what I said in a blog post in 2007, or STAR TREK has been saying since 1987.

Really? Practical, small, touchable, easy-to-use computers are the future? And here I was thinking it was virtual reality and Roombas.

I feel sorry for Dorkman's role in this. It's like being friends with the guy who did the stereo mix of the White album.
