The Week in Entertainment

Movie: Star Trek. Man, that was fun. They could make a movie with that cast every year and I'd watch it. Zach Quinto was wonderful, and the rest were great, too. Sure, they inherited and expanded on Roddenberry's complete lack of comprehension on how the military works ("We don't have a captain, and we don't have a first officer to replace him"? So, without a first officer the ship sits there helpless? I don't think so...), but that wasn't their fault. I loved the Uhura-Spock relationship, and can't help but wonder if this Spock will say, "I am, and pretty nearly always have been, your friend..." Bottom line? It was fun again. Night at the Museum 2: Not as good as the first one, but entertaining enough.

DVD: Some more Morse.

Read: Halfway through Orhan Pamuk's The Black Book, which I'm enjoying even though it's a bit (deliberately) confusing. I'd just about got it sorted that Galip's runaway wife Rüya and his cousin Celâl were half-brother and -sister, but Galip's just told the newspaper staff that they're step-siblings. Of couse, nearly everything Galip has told anyone about Rüya so far is a lie, so this probably is too...
