Here's a round-up of some stuff (and things) currently making waves online ...
-- The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly features the pretty faces of Zachary Quinto (as Spock) and Chris Pine (as Kirk) in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek (due out this

More Trek at TrekMovie.com and IGN and MTV.
-- Variety reviews the buzzed-about Frost/Nixon from London: "Although it all pays off in a potent and revelatory final act rife with insights into the psychology and calculations of power players, the initial stretch is rather dry and prosaic." InContention gives it two stars. Perhaps this Oscar lock just came undone, home-skillet.
-- On Werner Herzog remaking his Bad Lieutenant, director Abel Ferrara tells Filmmaker Magazine, "He can die in hell. I hate these people – they suck. A, he don't know me, couldn't pick me out of a line-up. B, I'm chasing windmills. Well, I'd rather chase windmills than steal other people's ideas. It's lame. I can't believe Nic Cage is trying to play that part. I mean, if the kid needed the money..."
-- Steven Soderbergh has cast porn star Sasha Grey in the lead role of his new film, The Girlfriend Experience. First Kevin Smith, now Soderbergh -- porn has gone mainstream, baby! The film is said to follow the life of a high-priced call girl and was written by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Ocean's 13). [via Variety]

5. I have to admit to cracking up over some of the comments on other sites from the diehard trekkies, i mean come on lads and lassies its only a bloody movie, i dont get people who make stars/films/tvshows their life, its all a bit sad, i think the whole bloody thing looks great and of course spock is gonna look like sylar, its fecking hard for him to look anything but sylar, as for the emotion expression.. jeeze.. its a reboot, not a total remake

6. im not a trekie. i only ever watched the jean luc picard era and now u couldnt make me watch a single stra trek episode. i dont even care for the movie. but my comment was directed at his acting. hes supposed to look like spock not like sylar. he looks evil and spock is a good guy. so to me it doesnt work right there
