Pine Dislikes 'Anonymity' of the Internet
PopEater
Chris Pine's star is on the rise. He plays the young Captain James T. Kirk in the already-a-blockbuster revival of 'Star Trek.' But the actor was worried before the movie became a hit, and he talks about his dislike of the message boards and blogs, what it's like to fill the shoes of William Shatner and more in the June issue of GQ, which hits newsstands May 26. Highlights Below
'Star Trek' versus 'Star Wars:' "I was a 'Star Wars' kid. The kitsch factor in the original 'Star Trek' series is high, but the show manages to take on these huge questions about race, sex, and war. I have a great appreciation for what Mr. Shatner did with the part. There's a gravity to it, but he's having fun."
The Trekkies: "The amount of dissection of the minutiae of this movie?I was blown away by the protectiveness. I'm definitely guilty of looking at the blogs, and I?m not a fan of the anonymity [of the Internet], how it allows people to just spew poisonous vitriol like vomit."
Making 'Just My Luck' with Lindsay Lohan at the height of her fame: "She was making a lot of money and attracting a lot of attention from the paparazzi. It put in stark relief that I don't want that kind of life."
