Chris Pine appreciation thread

Cannot believe that it is only just over 24 hours until I have the movie in my hands. I thought this day would never get here.

This is a link to really wonderful review of Star Trek XI. Here's a cute quote from his review: "I've said before that I think Chris Pine is a movie star, and watching him work, he seems like he's got the soul of a ridiculous goofball locked in the body of a football hero. He's also the lynchpin that holds the rest of the cast together." Aw, I like that.

It is a good review; and the more I see of Chris, the more I agree with the reviewer. Chris is the lynchpin; the movie worked because of Chris. Also, I love it that the reviewer's 4-year old son is completely obsessed with the movie and Star Trek now. I wouldn't have believed it possible a year ago.

I read a funny post yesterday, in part about the movie coming out: "I'm also excited for the new Star Trek which comes out this tuesday, because I would like to molest Chris Pine. I even watched a movie about wine for him." :lol: This seems to be a common syndrome for Pine fans.

Wasn't that awesome of JJ Abrams to give the 4 year old that fabulous birthday present. He seems like such a great guy.

Some of the funniest things I have ever read come from comments on some of the Star Trek boards, like ontd_startrek.

I found some pictures which are apparently from last night - Chris was out partying in West Virginia and a group of girls got to take his picture. It's really good to see him having such fun.

hey girl, I heard you were looking for moi? ;)

I just took a bit of a break from the BBS. :vulcan: btw, I agree with the review. always have. he's the pivot of the movie. w/o him, it'd have been a lesser product.

EDIT: speaking of kids: my niece is head-over-heels about Pine. she's 9. go figure.

Woman! :D Great to see you! Did you get moved? Your niece has excellent taste in one so young. :cool:

Pam, those girls look to be wearing curiously unexploded heads. Do they not know who Chris Pine is? :lol: Gawd, Randi would croak at that. Chris looks heavenly.
 
They had to have been at Generations Pub in Wheeling, WV watching Bon Journey on Sat Nov 14th...Not really a great taste in music. Nice Pub tho...
 
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! THOSE GIRLS WERE SO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!
(picking up my brain which flew out the back of my head when i saw those pictures!!)

Hi Indranee!
 
^ I told you so! :lol:

I'm just waiting here about half an hour until shortly before 10 o'clock, when I go out to Best Buy to pick up the Blu-ray and then the GQ.

Thanks to enfanterrible who lurks here, there are a couple of links to the Wheeling blog and pix:

P.S. wimpy77, I see what you mean. Thanks for pointing that out.

Eleanor, my pleasure!

sp165309, welcome to the BBS! I sent you a friend request; you need to reach a certain number of posts before you can post pictures and get private messages. But you can get friends. Nice to see you; don't be a stranger.
 
O M G !!!!! Could you imagine.....??? You're at some bar and suddenly there's a guy who looks like Chris Pine...but you can't believe that it's really him.....until you realize that it is?????? Some people have all the luck!!!!
 
Too bad Chris missed the Star Trek XI dvd party. Almost everyone else was there it looks like except for Chris and Anton. Fun thread at ontd_startrek about the dvd party. I love the comments people make on that site.

Stopping tonight at Best Buy to get the dvd since Amazon let me down and didn't get mine to me before today. It's in the mail. Hrumph!!!!
 
Ah, gawd; that party is hilarious! Thanks so much. Of course, Tom Riley already pointed this salient detail out.

Randi
can identify with these two pix :lol: :
