I was just talking about the Yamakasi film with

carodee - a film based on Parkour - and I mentioned the first scene because it was shot in Choisy-le-Roi and we Choisyens are quite proud of that little fact. That is, us who know the film. Whatever. And then I thought of the good ole flist. I can be nosy about where you guys live and in case you are too, you can catch some glimpses of Choisy in that first scene.

Unrelated, I know I said I was kinda over J.J Abrams, but I guess I'll make an exception for the new Star Trek film that will be released next year. I saw the trailer and it made me shiver a little. Nothing happens in that trailer per se... and yet it's so intense and just, I don't know, it hooked me. Some people definitely know how to make a good trailer, that's for sure! Now, obviously, maybe the actual film won't work, but at least that little glimpse was all kinds of awesome.

Star Trek will always hold a special place in my heart; you never forget your first, as they say, and ST:TOS was definitely the first series I fell in love with. I just love that I can say I was already a fan of the show in primary school...

And as I always say, it never fails to amuse me that my 'kinks' - I say 'kink' because I'm not talking about sexual kinks, just those themes that work for you, no matter what - already ran deep at the time; my favourite episodes were the ones where Kirk got hurt. And my favourite part of the show was the dynamics between Kirk, Spock and McCoy. Obviously I didn't have words for it at the time but my taste for good character dynamics and the edgier part of a storyline was firmly set, even back then. Go Mouse-That-Was!

Oh and I got paid today! MONEY! I treated myself with a threadless hoodie - first hoodie I've bought in oh, a million years? Yeah. Next hoodie I'd love is a MCR one...One day, dude!

And er, I was describing the hoodie as Asian-like when it's actually African-like lol It's still beautiful but now that I see it for what it is, I wonder how I actually saw... what I originally saw *blinkblink* Whatever, I love it to pieces and can't wait to wear it!

I know exactly what you mean about Star Trek. I saw that trailer and just, whoa!

but my taste for good character dynamics and the edgier part of a storyline was firmly set, even back then

Hmmm, I'll have to use that to explain how certain pages of my Hardy Boys books were tattered to all hell. You know, the parts where they were always knocked out *g*

I liked the Parkour movie clip, and you know if I was still on the Isle of Man there'd be plenty of movies I could point you to that were filmed there, but Reading, not so much *g*!

Thanks for sharing the Star Trek trailer, it does look like it is going to be a visual feast, doesn't it? ^_^

Seriously, I sorta had goosebumps; the kind when a trailer is really talking to the fangirl in me, you know?

Isn't it funny how even as kids we already liked the darker stuff better?

I can't say Choisy is often used in films. I can think of another example, but that's it; no more than those two.

You're welcome for the ST trailer; I really enjoyed it. A lot. I'm curious to see what the actual film will be like.
