URBAN ADMIN Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Tags : None Just read this small article in NZ Herald *** Kiwi Boldly Goes Karl Urban is going where no New Zealander has gone before: a starring role in a Star Trek movie. Trekkies can get their first glimpse of Urban as Leonard "Bones" McCoy, with the release of the trailer to JJ Abrams' new Star Trek prequel. The movie begins in Starfleet Academy, where Captain James Kirk, Spock and McCoy meet. But all ready, with just a sneak preview, internet forums reveal Urban's female fans believe the character fails to capitalise on the actor's sex appeal. *** SAY WHAT? Not on THIS FORUM!!!! The article is HERE completed with a photoshopped pic of Karl in a Star Trek uniform. Classy reporting if ever there was one!!! ~ Bally ~ Urbanite #6 - Keeper of Karl's perfect little nose and Eomer's flared nostrils

First thing, it'd be hard to make Karl look bad no matter what ( unless there was a lot of prostetics or make-up artists working on him to make him NOT attractive). Also, Karl as McCoy "Not sexy?" according to who? And lastly, Karl is a good actor. ANY good actor worth his salt is willing to make himself not attractive, if need be, to be able to play a part he is interested in. Case in point, Johnny Depp. Look at how many movies he's made where he's looked completely odd or was made to look a nerd or what not just to flesh out a role? And the man is "drop-dead-gorgeous". I think this person just has a case of "rectal-cranial inversion." It happens from time to time..... Amyurban Keeper of Karl's dirty little secrets

Well said, Anita! Leah - I noticed the mis-spelling of "already" as well. Like I said, classy reporting!

I'm gonna write to those idiots when I get home from work and give them a piece of my mind... Guess what? That photoshopped image of Karl in the old style McCoy uniform is one of my manips!!! God I HATE it when they do this! It's the second time this happens to me. The first time was a couple of years ago when a trashy gossip entertainment site called JustJared published an article about the actor Jared Padalecki and they used one of my manips to illustrate how he had bulked up... Urgghhhh! You'd think that with all the "real" images of Karl as Bones that have been floating around the web, those maggots would be able to find one and use it! This is the New Zealand Herald, for cryin' out loud... Isn't that supposed to be a major publication over there? You'd think they'd check their sources more carefully...

I sent them an email yesterday and when I opened my emails a few minutes ago I had a reply from a Mr. Jonathan Milne, their Deputy Editor of the weekend edition it seems. He was very apologetic and he explained that whoever provided the picture said it was an image from one of the trailers for the new Star Trek movie... rolls eyes He's going to investigate some more and get back to me with a full explanation. I don't think he was very pleased with the situation, at least that's the impression I got. He said they would remove my picture asap and they did. I have a feeling that someone is going to get in a lot of trouble for this... "What business does a Man, a Vulcan and Tribble have in my sickbay? Speak quickly!"

Horrible reporting, bad spelling and then, posting a "manipulated pic" that belongs to someone else? What can you expect? This person obviously thinks the only kinds of roles Karl should be doing are "Mimbo" roles. Yeah, right...... Amyurban Keeper of Karl's dirty little secrets

URBAN ADMIN Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I'm glad you contacted them about the pic, Annie. Lazy bastard reporting. And anyhow, how hard is it to find a current ST screencap or promo pic ferchrissake? Google is everyone's friend. I'd like to know what forums this reporter has been reading? I've yet to read anything on any forums, from Urbies to ONTD, about Karl's lack of sex appeal as Bones. They're just making shit up. What is this, the Enquirer?

I like nerds, so this works for me. LOL! Second: Anita hit it right on the nose, it comes with the job. Finally: Annie I'm glad you spoke up sweetie , that was a pretty shady move!
