'Cupcake' Has Been Stricken From The IMDB Cast For 'Into Darkness'

Rita? Lovely.

 

The Dark Side has cookies... we have Cupcake. "Come over to the Trek side, we have Cupcake."

 

Somebody should go add him back in, just for the giggles...

 

Maybe he'll show up in Star Wars, too.

Although both dictionaries I consulted indicate no preference, I completely agree with you on this. Good call.

They're not interchangeable in this context. One is an adjective (stricken) the other is a verb [trans] (struck). Try to swap another adjective and you see it don't work:

Both dictionaries I consulted list both stricken and struck as past participles of strike. See, e.g., http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/strike. Even so, I prefer it as "has been struck" in this context (probably because of the coincidence with the adjective form); however, see usage notes at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/strike#Usage_notes for contrary usage.

 

I won't miss him. Touchy jerk.

 

I thought all you cakes stuck together.

 

Only when it's very humid.

 

I'm boycotting this movie if he's not in it.

No Cupcake? No Psion.

 

Of all the souls I've encountered in my travels, his was the most...cupcakey.

 

Is he chocolate or vanilla? Perhaps strawberry?

 

Or when there's icing involved.

 

...I would have gone with... frosted.
