Any actor would see that complimenting JJ is a wise thing to do. Isn't Abrams working on the sequel and another instalment of Mission Impossible as well as another 'point of view' for CLOVERFIELD... So all that with the continued (for some reason?) buzz around TV's Fringe he is really the one you want to work with at the moment - Oh and there's LOST!!!

Jeez JJ really has conquered both sides of entertainment. Dude should release a rock album! Probably would go to number 1!!!
So makes sense. Plus y'know... it is a good film.

If Nathan wants to praise JJ's work then fair play to him. Star Trek isn't a perfect movie but it's just about perfect at what it sets out to do.
Action - check
Laughs - check
FX - check
Great cast - check
Gain new fans - check
Please old fans - check
Make money - check
And probably other points as well.

I would like to see these two hook up, especially if it's Trek but I'm not so bothered about MI, although if he's in MI it would make me watch it.

EDIT:
And now I've followed the link I would like Nathan and Simon to co-star together even more. Two of the most genuinely funny, nicest-seeming folks around.
And I hope the drinking contest is in the Winchester pub.

gotta think of it this way...you get like...100 characters? or something in Twitter?
So perfect is possibly just a quick and easy way of saying he loved everything about the movie. He may have exaggerated slightly, even he might not see it as 100% perfect, but, you know, exaggerating slightly is one way of expressing your love for something.

It's like if you told your gf/wife she's perfect ;)

I thought Nathan would have made an excellent Captain Pike in the ST movie. I wonder what part he auditioned for?

I liked the new star Trek Movie I laughed, Iliked the story etc etc ....but I wouldn't call it perfect. there were some moments where I felt my face screwing itself up as it does when I eat something sour...I can't exactly remember what made me cringe, I just know there were cringeworthy moments... our "captain" also thought the last superman installment, and "My super ex-Girlfriend" were great movies...I fell asleep during the first and walked out of the latter. I like that he has dubious taste (according to me that is, others may not agree ha ha)...makes him more normal.
and sorry folks but GOD!!!! do I hate Lost...I have not had any affection for any of the characters since season 2.

Hey Boris! My cringeworthy moment in Trek could have been fixed by using the lines originally in the script:

KIRK: How is it that I found you in this cave in the middle of an ice planet? It's insane that we should ever even meet this way.
SPOCK PRIME: Perhaps it's the timestream's way of trying to mend itself. It is fate and destiny trying to bring all of us together.

Eh, your loss. I find it the most complex and interesting TV series ever. Of course, this would not register if you stopped at season 2, as it's taken a while for the depth to reveal itself fully.

I gotta agree with Fillion on one of those.
I really enjoyed Superman Returns. Thought it was great. Though I AM looking forward to the new one coming, especially since Chris Nolan (Dark Knight) is helping oversee the project.
That said, yeah, Super-Ex was pretty bleh.

And Lost...well..I love it.

Storymark: I don't do complex. I only do black and white with a hint of grey. complex mindy twisty stuff hurts my brain. I get why other people find it entertaining but my mind has an insatiable need to process everything down to the core so if not all the relevant information is accessible I actually get headaches.
my brain is a complex entity so I need my entertainment to be straight forward to reduce the possibility of creating further clutter. having said that I need my entertainment to be well written, constructed, and developed. I'm very picky about the quality of those things as crappy scripts and character development etc. hurts my brain too.
