Should Cris Pine wear a toupe?

[TigerOfDarkness]

Seriously? Is this what this forum has turned into?? Joke threads about boycotting if the new actor doesn't <whatever> the same as the old one? Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but this is just silliness.

But it is satirical silliness of a most humourous nature - or were you attempting more satire?

I mean seriously Shatner wears one, shouldn't Pine wear one? I would consider this movie non-canon if he dosen't, but I won't boycott

Hey, that sounds vaguely familiar....

For the record, the answer is "yes." Pine must wear a toupee. But he must wear it over his natural hair, which would preferably be a different color, thus making it a postmodern commentary on the original rather than stooping to simple imitation. For the same reason, he must have a hazel-tinted contact lens in one eye, but leave his other eye blue, and in so doing create an interpretive space for us, the audience, to meditate on the fluctuating and yet overlapping boundaries between the notions of "Kirk," "Pine," and the essence of "Shatner"-ness.

(Wondering whether I should start the "Yelchin must wear a Monkees wig" thread....)

*Generic quote with a generic approval of all your generic points*

*Generic rebuttal with mention of getting a life*

Don't we have anything of merit to discuss here? If not, maybe we all should just leave and reconvene here around January 2009.

It's better if you say it like this:

Does anyone even find HunterB5446 funny or interesting any more? I say any more, giving him possibly a tad more credit than I should, seeing as I never thought he was either funny or interesting...

Everybody's a comedian

And the most effective comedians are often those who have no sense of humor at all.

Ha Ha, another should the replacement emulate a characteristic of the original actor thread, very funny, clever and original; This is going to be a looooong eight months.

For god's sake everybody, find a new way to kill time - discover porn sites! There's stuff on the Internets that doesn't involve pudgy actors in Spandex and heavy make-up pretending to be - well, okay, some of it still does but that's not the point.

In any event, the only absolute requirement is that the new Starfleet uniforms include chrome codpieces.

Should the new Dennis wear a chrome codpiece?

And chrome nipples.

Gold-plated Depends, actually. I'm gettin' up there.

Well, the hessian one is known for chafing....

Yes, Pine should wear a toupee and gain weight. Quinto should start photographing fat women. Pegg should cut off a finger.

Let's play more! Urban should die of stomach cancer. Saldana should be convinced to stay in the cast by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Cho should turn gay if he is not already at least bi, and publicize U.S. internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII. Greenwood should die of a stroke and skull fracture. Abrams should become a womanizer, turn to drugs, and finally, tragically, become a shell of himself and die of heart failure.

What a clever and intellectually challenging game! This is what "Star Trek" is all about -- making fun of people. I am so proud!

Oh, and Winona Ryder must star in a revival of "Father Knows Best."

And Pine must in ten years appear on "Saturday Night Live" and parody fans by telling them to get a life.

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

That's the spirit, jayrath!

(Hey, it's apparently an acceptable joke thread, and we're already talking about chopping off an actor's finger!)

My sense of humor keeps me pretty easy going.

I always expect to be banned for flaming when we go head to head (and I suspect I may be, yet). But you are a gracious man, and I honestly salute your generous spirit.

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

Any decision to warn you would be an independent determination made by a Moderator, not by me. Personally, I recommend that you not be warned. It's all in good fun.

I can take just about anything. Hell, check out my choice of signatures.

As long as you are enjoying yourself, that's good enough for me. That is, after all, why we're here. Right?

Or just watch Galaxy Quest... It answers most of the unanswered "what if" or "____ should do____"... Tim Allan, Alan Rickman, et al... already did that.
I love watching that movie!

And just like many in here dream of.... a nerd from the convention who knows WAY TOO MANY details of insignificance saves the Captain!
