With all the hype around the new movie, who's ready for more Star Trek on TV?

We think we just heard a million geeks piddle just a little bit.

After six spin off shows and ten films, it's time for more Trek.

Now that Pushing Daisies has been so unceremoniously dumped by ABC (sob), Bryan Fuller wants to team up with J.J. Abrams, who's behind this summer's highly anticipated film, to bring a fresh spin off to the small screen.

Fuller recently admitted, "I told my agent and told the people of J.J. Abrams' team I want to create another Star Trek series and have an idea that I’m kicking around. I would love to return to the spirit of the old series with the colors and attitude. I loved Voyager and Deep Space Nine, but they seem to have lost the ‘60s fun. I would love to take it back to its origin."

"I would love to do it in the same era as the J.J. Abrams movie but on another starship on a completely different adventure."

How hot would it be with Matthew Fox as Kirk and Lee Pace as Spock?

Make it so, Number One!

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
