Philias Fog writes "The most secret project in Hollywood is finally lifting its skirt. Today Paramount released a number of images for their new Star Trek movie directed by JJ Abrams. Shots include images of the bridge of the Enterprise, the villain Nero, a ship (not the Enterprise) and all of the crew in uniform. TrekMovie.com has a complete set of photos and links to all the new shots."

Be glad that Lucas and Spielberg's hands were nowhere near this film. It's either this or seeing a CG render of McCoy.

Considering Sulu was running around with Kumar getting stoned on the weekends and escaping from Guantanamo, it's no wonder it took him so long.

I would think CleverNickName would be the best person to answer that one.
Unlikely, looks like he hasn't commented on Slashdot since January.
In other news, a giant wooshing sound caught thousands of noobs by surprise today.

I find it kinda hard to swallow that Sulu took an additional 25 years to rank captain.
But haven't the fans complained for years about the prejudice against gays in Trek?
Or did I misunderstand that?

Your Honour, the defendant didn't rape the victim. He simply re-imaginined her vagina with his penis in it.

More like the Tiny Toon Adventures. And the Klingons are the Dizzy Devil, the Ferengi are Montana Max and the new enemy is ... of course... Elmyra.

A constitution class ship has neither an infinitely thin skin, nor is it 100% hollow, nor is it a perfect box. Your air volume calculation needs work.
More or less what I said in my post. So what's your estimate, captain pedant?
I guessed that the skin was 3 cm thick at the hull breach, but on TV it looks like several separate layers. I also remember what one of the "experts" said about the aircraft that hit the World Trade Center; that the aircraft had similar density to an empty soda can. Since aircraft and TV spacecraft seem to be somewhat similar in construction, I made an engineering decision to throw out the volume occupied by the material the ship itself is constructed from and it's contents.
Heck, I made the ship a rectangular box. It doesn't look like one, but I remember from a course I took on designing gating systems for metal castings (fluid systems to feed odd-shaped empty cavities) that simplifying the shape you're trying to feed (to or from, it doesn't matter) makes the calculations a lot simpler. A more accurate volume guess would be a set of cylindrical sections (the saucer is a very short, wide cylinder for example).
But, who has the time.
Even if I did that, people like you'd probably want me to factor in the effect of bedsheets and seat cushions, and liquid water that would flash to steam from the sinks and toilets.
In short, you can't ever make a rabid fan happy, so why even try?
That was a rhetorical question, by the way.

Sort of like being unsure of casting an Irishman as a Scottish engineer.

The reason that makeup is so heavy is that, when you're looking at a 3-story tall closeup in a theater, "average skin" looks like the surface of the moon, and it can be very distracting.
Ah, I see you made the same mistake I did and saw "The Matrix" -- and specifically Lawrence Fishburn's face -- at an IMAX theater. [shudder]

Sure, there are plenty of people who will watch and accept any vapid trash you throw up on the screen, so long as it has explosions, boobies, and (most importantly) a twist ending. A lot of people watch Lost, Fringe, used to watch Alias, and actually went to see Mission Impossible 3. This just shows that there's a ready market to make a quick buck distracting folks for 47 minutes (or longer).
I disagree. Boobies are ALWAYS more important than a twist ending in my book.

I am *so* looking forward to this - a young Kirk shows his stuff before he becomes the legend he was in later life in a never before referenced adventure that completely ignores all prior continuity, but the entire crew of the Enterprise happens to be there for.
I especially waiting on the next one, "Star Fleet Babies" where the entire crew of the Enterprise, being kept by odd coincidence in a babysitting clinic run by Amanda Rogers in Iowa, save the young federation from a very young Trelane of Gothos and the baby borg he teleports in after baby Spock beats him at chess.
