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 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? ^_^

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.
