Not about women wearing pentagrams. There's a difference. And my recent "blasting" was a post that was inspired by the writer's apology. It's not like I wrote a 10-page article on the thing, if anything he reminded me of just how ridiculous and gratuitous (his words) it was. No one is clutching their pearls here, I'm saying the context was bunk. The context of this story is the bikini. No one is railing against the three-way Kirk had in the movie. That was actually super funny and a great bit of fan service. However we do think it's sad they made the only new female character with lines strip in front of the captain while the other person who was also going to the planet, dressed off camera.

And yet forcing Alice Eve to strip in front of Kirk so he (and the audience) could catch a glimpse of a woman just trying to change into protective clothes so she can do her job, yeah it's not the same thing at all.

I thought Kirk's scene with the Orion girl in the first movie was hot, hot, hot. Mostly because two consenting adults were getting freaky in their bedrooms and she was green. Watching Kirk perv all over Alice Eve the scientist as she changed her clothes to try and stop a war, yeah that's not OK. This bathing suit, which is just that a fun BATHING SUIT, is hot.

Had Alice Eve been going to the beach, and put this on, it would have been an odd choice but I would have been cool with it. All I said was the underwear shot was ridiculous, and I don't think I'm alone as even the writer and exec producer agreed.

You're finally getting that live-action Halo you've been clamoring for, and it's going to be produced by Steven Spielberg. Poor Neill Blomkamp.

Xbox announced during their big reveal that a Halo series is in the works, but for Xbox Live only:

The live-action TV series will be based around the video game franchise Halo, and will be called World of Halo. So yay for a Halo show — it can't be any worse than Terra Nova... right?

It's been a long time since we've seen a vampire movie with complicated monster hierarchies, gorgeous period-piece costumes and bittersweet relationships. But Neil Jordan (writer of High Spirits and director of The Crying Game) is channeling that old Anne Rice feeling. Let's hope it works.

This movie stars the gorgeous Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton as a mother/daughter vampire pair who seek refuge in small British hotel. But their secret feeding habits won't stay hidden for long. Plus (from the looks of this trailer) there's plenty of juicy backstory to dive in. Fingers crossed this new crop of art house vampire flicks keeps living up to expectations, the way Kiss of the Damned did.

Byzantium will premiere on June 28th.

It's still not affordable for a clean, safe place. And if you find a place for around 150 a night, get ready to drop the extra money on cabs. The cheapest hotels are by Javits, and it's a long walk to the train from there. Hotels in NYC are absurd.

Quite a bit. We're not cross about it, but we will say it was ridiculous to basically write a scene where the smart female scientist strips in front of the captain for no real reason. Nudity in the bed room is understandable. This was just HEY LOOKIE BOOBIES, and Star Trek deserves better than that.

Still scratching your head over the random underwear scene with Alice Eve in Star Trek Into Darkness? Head producer and writer Damon Lindelof has finally "copped" to the fact that the nudity was completely gratuitous.

Taking to twitter Linedlof has tweeted a string of apologies to those who were offended by filming Doctor Carol Marcus, the Starfleet science officer, stripping down into her underwear before putting on her special torpedo disarming outfit:

Lindelof addressed this issue further in an email to MTV:

Why is Alice Eve in her underwear, gratuitously and unnecessarily, without any real effort made as to why in God's name she would undress in that circumstance? Well there's a very good answer for that. But I'm not telling you what it is. Because... uh... MYSTERY?

Good. If we're going to start blasting IMAX shots of naked medical/science officers for no reason besides because they could, at least give us a few Bones pics. But seriously, it was horribly ridiculous and we're glad they learned from their silly decision to force the one new female character with speaking lines to strip in front of Captain Kirk.
