One little question..

Kirk was a boy-named-Sue living there; every day a reminder of his absent dad and hi-jacked life. No wonder he was fighting all the time. The salt shaker was like an hourglass.

Damn blended margaritas!

Oxymoron.

[Riker]Oh, you're blended, all right[/Riker]

that FC was a very good movie. Trek or not.

It's a frakking salt shaker. You make design concessions for the utility of the object.

I was joking about the symbolism of the broken salt-shaker. Hence the wink smiley.

You're not wrong here...there is a reason why it's broken and there is a reason why salt comes pouring out. Every single thing that is put in a movie is there for a reason...NOTHING is random...and I mean Nothing...even a plant that's on a desk that you can barely even see in the shot was chosen with purpose.

I guess having the salt-shaker be broken symbolizes the broken ship, as well as Kirk's inner struggle to fix his own broken life.

The salt shaker represents Kirk, who is missing his soul-mate, the pepper shaker.

I'm sure I don't have to tell yall who the pepper shaker is.

And the salt pouring out of the shaker symbolizes -- what?

Bad luck.

I noticed that it was a salt shaker the first time I saw the movie.

It looks like a pretty damn shitty salt shaker that's more form than it is function, but a salt shaker.

It'd be neat to have a set of them, though.

Well, this didn't take long to turn to Kirk/Spock slash.

That the only one pouring salt in his wounds was himself.

"That the only one pouring salt in his wounds was himself."
Whether it was intended as symbolism or not..... i really LIKE that one!
