“Star Trek” Trailer

I’ve never been a Star Trek fan. My father liked it, but I could never get into it. Eddie Murphy and Halle Berry once extolled the virtues of the series. Even when the movies came out, I enjoyed a few of them — I mean, Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home are awesome, and I like First Contact a lot, too — but it was never a franchise that moved me.

Welp, color me intrigued, because the trailer for Paramount’s Star Trek reboot, helmed by JJ Abrams and starring the lovely and beautiful Zoe Saldana and screenwriter-hating Tyler Perry, among others, looks fucking exciting. A lot of people opined about how Dawson’s Creek-ish the cast looked when they appeared in a recent issue of EW. But I think that maybe Abrams has pulled it off. Too bad we have to wait until next year to see. Anyway, hit the jump for the fantastic trailer.

Angelina Jolie is The Hottest Black Woman on the Planet

Sista!

Angelina Jolie is hot. Black women are hot. Ergo, Angelina Jolie is a black woman. Well, that’s what Hollywood seems to think, at least.

Before its film adaptation was released earlier this summer, I’d never heard of the comic series Wanted. So it was a shock to discover that Fox, Jolie’s character, was black in the comics. But after doing a little more research, I found that the filmmakers were deviating from the source material. And besides, roles like this should be color-blind, right?
