SPOCK.
And I was always a Kirk fan
Quinto was so wonderfully nuanced.

Quinto was so wonderfully nuanced.
Yes, yes, yes! I could only watch the movie 4 times and each one of them, my eyes were peeled for Quinto/Spock's scenes. Quinto has that ability to convey a lot through his eyes (which, IMO, makes the talented actors), and it's exactly what is needed to play Spock.In the scene on the bridge where Spock drills Kirk and Scotty, watch the way Quinto uses small shifts in voice inflection, his line of sight, and very subtle facial movement to show how tightly wound and tamped down his Spock is,,he doesn't actually "do" much, but he reveals layers of depth. And that's where I think Quinto really succeeeds, whatever the temperature of the scene, because without being terribly overt, he always conveys that's there's lots of thinkgs going on behind the eyes. That's the key to playing Spock IMO, expressing the inner life of the character.
Then we both are weird...Am I weird because he doesn't do it for me as much without the ears and eyebrows?
My thoughts exactlyI like to think that once you get Spock to come out of his shell (he's a challenge, of course), he's a wild man. He obviously is in a fight, so why shouldn't he be just as unrestrained in other acts of physical passion?![]()
He is a Hollywood mishmash of;
Ray Liotta's eyes (although blue not brown)
Leo Di'Cap's cheeks
Quinto's mouth and jaw
and Jack Nicholson's forehead

WAIT!
Liotta's eyes are blue.
Or my DVD player is WAY off.
Yummy pic...
But it's still NuSpock for me![]()
I thought Liotta's were blue too.
Pine and Quinto may have similar jaws (and, oddly, eyebrows), but their mouths are pretty different. I may have studied this a lot.Also, I would never have noticed it, but K'ehleyr's right about the DiCaprio resemblance. I don't normally think there's a lot of similarity, but there is in that picture.)
I think we need more pictures of Quinto and Pine being awesome together in this thread.
I voted for Chris Pine.
But both are pretty damn fine, IMO. And since the poll is a dead heat, seems I'm not alone in that opinion.![]()
And I mean the Chris Pine portrayal as Kirk versus Zack Q. as Spock in this year's film.
My wife finds Spock sexier, and my best friend's girlfriend thinks Kirk is sexier. I thought thay was interesting and started asking all the women I knew who saw the film who they thought was sexier. It was about a 50/50 split, so I would like to compare with the results here.
So who do you think is sexier?
Of course, gay men and straight men who don't feel their heterosexuality threatened by answering this question, please feel free to vote as well.
(I love the continuity in my threads, don't you?)

This is strange..my wife has always found NIMOY from TOS more sexier than Shatner...now, its reversed. She thinks Pine is hotter looking.
This worries me. She has always had a thing for Nicholas Cage. But recently, that guy has been looking pretty old. I was holding my own...but now comes this younger Pine fella. Me? I'm still hooked on Jane Seymore. Time to counter attack and lust after a young hot chic...well...hell...why not Uhura!!! (and yes..her underwear) (I love the continuity in my threads, don't you?)

Don't worry about wifey lusting after Pine -- it's just going to make for better sex for you!!![]()

But yeah I never realized that a lot of girls/women had a crush on orig. Spock...never realized that till I joined this board ..but LOL he's quite the sex symbol and has quite a female following.
Spock would discount all your arguments as illogical and get all pissy when you wanted to talk about an issue.
I find it funny that people prefer Quinto when he's Spock. I think Quinto looks better as Quinto. Normal eyebrows, normal ears. But maybe I'm just weird![]()

But yeah; Wifey likes Pine now. That means next time we, ahem, perform Ponfar, I will slip on my Captain Kirk shirt!!! I'll get her some cute panties..and then she can be uhura and I can be Kirk and we will get to do the scene Pine will never get to do!!!....stick that where the sun doesn't shine; pine!!!
