Why do people keep saying Voyager weakened the Borg?

Re: Why do people keep saying Voyager weakened the Borg?
^ Your massive image is distorting the web page. Can you please resize it and provide a link to the larger scale? Thank you.
The Borg as a faceless entity, a mass collection of minds that you couldn't see, made it a very unsettling enemy. That an away team could beam over and the drones would essentially ignore them, because they're "too weak" to be bothered with, was just unprecedented.
In First Contact and in Voyager, they changed the Borg. It was no longer the faceless enemy. The introduction of the Queen turned them into something different. I could understand if they created another "liason", a drone who would basically speak for the Borg but in an unemotional, robotic way... this would work. But the Queen behaves like a human being with full emotion. And then, you have these nearly indestructible Borg cube ships where ONE cube took out 40 starships at Wolf359 as the initial premise, only to change whereby a single vessel like Voyager can stand up to one of them. They "weakened" somehow... it wasn't explained. There was no mention of Borg specific weapons being used that had remarkable improvements over previous weapons. And lastly, you have the assimilation thing. In TNG, they assimilated technology but destroyed humanoids. They learned how to adapt Picard into Borg form. Perhaps this could be considered their realization that assimilation is possible. But the nanoprobes as a means of assimilation was a huge leap. There wasn't any explanation for it. Also... the time it would take for someone to become assimilated varied a lot. In some cases, you see it happen within a minute, in others it takes hours.
I preferred the TNG Borg. They were more threatening, menacing, insidious... I liked the assimilation idea, but wish they'd have introduced it differently. That it would be more selective, not focused on assimilating everyone found. And done in a more believable way... that it was more of a hijacking of the brain functions, instead of "rewriting DNA". I really never liked how carelessly Star Trek treated DNA manipulation.

Great. Helps maintain my supply and is a calming part of my afternoon routine!
I think it would work , cause I am drinking the third trimester tea of Earth mama , so good, I fell warm , good for pregnant lady.
Love this tea, tastes great and I find it does help. I was unable to breastfeed my first and can now breastfeed my second as I actually have milk production! It is on pricey side but worth it!
This product definitely helped me produce more milk. Was nice to be able to use organic product over prescribed medicine. Saw results right away!
Very mild tasting tea. I brew a few cups at a time, let it cool and sip during the day and during night nursing sessions. I think you would have to drink a lot to increase milk supply but at least it helps and hydrates at the same time.
I drank this every day in the first few weeks of my son's life and when I feel he's going through a growth spurt. It seems to work to increase milk supply!
Love this tea, not so much for the flavour which isn't bad, but I wouldn't call it delicious, but more because it works! I used this with my first child after she started eating solids so that I wouldn't lose my milk when she wasn't nursing as much and I am now using it with my second child. Its a great product.
Not sure if it was just the tea, but my milk did seem to get a bit of a boost. Drinking lots of liquid is a sure way to keep a good supply. Nice flavour.
This tea has a nice flavour, though I'm not sure how well it helped boost my milk supply - perhaps a little bit, but not as much as I expected. For the price, I've tried other teas I prefer.
This tea is the BEST for my baby and me! There are specific ingredients in this tea that you don't find in other milkmaid teas. I highly recommend for all breastfeeding Momma's!
I noticed that my milk supply was getting low so i started drinking the tea daily in the evenings. it made a huge difference. I would recommend this to any mom wishing to breastfeed.
Love the taste and it does help increase my supply. Love this product and would definitely recommend!
I haven't actually tried the tea myself, but have used it (under veterinary supervision) to help out a new mama stray with her milk production. It seemed to do the trick and smelled very nice!
I really enjoy this tea, I don't have supply issues but the herbs add extra nutrients. I love the taste
I'm a fan of herbal tea and really like the taste. I also have a sweet tooth, so I add a little honey. It seems to help with my production, but it's hard to tell just how much because I'm doing a number of things to increase my milk.
Love this, I actually enjoy the taste and it definitely helps keep the milk flowing, which I really need now that baby is 8 months and I'm also pumping for cereal...
Although this tea may not have the most pleasant taste (easily fixed with honey or a bit of sugar) it definitely works! Being on birth control while breastfeeding I was told my milk production would decrease (and it did) but since I started drinking this tea my supply has increased :) Definitely worth drinking if you want extra milk - whatever the reason!
Taste okay so I add a teaspoon of honey to make it just right. I only drink this when I need to pump, it really helps increase my milk production just enough so I can get the right amount milk for my baby.
Tastes great and definitely helps with milk production. I recommend this product.

I'm going to disagree. Mischa Barton: fugly fashionista. I don't think she's attractive (I've never been huge on the waif thing, unless it's kate moss), but she could always dress very, very well. Unfortunately, she just threw her fashion cred in the trash. she looks awful in that atrocious get-up she's wearing. It makes me vomit in my mouth a little. no one should wear jungle print dresses, especially anyone who was born in the 80's as mischa was. it's not ironic, it's not kitschy, it's just fugly.

Bernat Armangue, File, Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Signs are growing that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will call parliamentary elections as early as February, months ahead of schedule in a bid to capitalize on a wave of popularity and a fragmented opposition to guarantee his hold on power for several more years.
While Netanyahu has not made any formal announcement, several members of his coalition, including his foreign minister and the speaker of parliament, have signaled that elections are imminent. An official decision could come in the next week or two as parliament opens its fall session, with February the likely date of the vote.
Netanyahu has presided over a relatively stable period. Re-election could give him a fresh mandate to continue his tough stance toward Iran's suspect nuclear program, put the already deadlocked peace process with the Palestinians further into deep freeze and further complicate relations with the U.S. if President Barack Obama is re-elected.
Elections are currently scheduled a year from now. But Israeli coalition governments rarely last their full terms, and Netanyahu appears to have concluded that now is the time to strike.
The immediate reason is the difficulty in passing the annual budget. If a budget isn't approved by Dec. 31, he would be required to order a new vote. In a challenging economic climate, experts say the next budget will require deep cuts to social programs favored by his coalition partners.
But Netanyahu may have deeper motivations as well. After presiding over a remarkably stable coalition for nearly four years, he has little incentive to wait a few extra months when the stars seem so well aligned for him to win re-election.
"Think of a stock: His is high now and he wants to sell before it drops," said veteran political analyst Hanan Crystal. "Bibi has no real challengers. The gold medal has already been decided. Now the fight is over silver," he added, using Netanyahu's nickname.
Opinion polls put Netanyahu's Likud Party far ahead of all rivals, his coalition partners are vulnerable, the opposition is fractured and leaderless, and the only truly viable candidate to replace him, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, is entangled in a legal battle that will keep him on the sidelines for the coming months.
In addition, Netanyahu appears to have defused a crisis with the United States over Iran's nuclear program. The U.S., Israel and allies accuse Tehran of trying to develop atomic weapons, but Iran denies the charge, saying its program is for peaceful purposes only.
In a speech to the United Nations last week, Netanyahu backed away from threats to attack Iran, signaling that the world has until next summer to curb Tehran's nuclear program. He had been under heavy U.S. pressure to halt his calls for military threats.
Crystal said re-election would give Netanyahu a valuable vote of confidence in case Obama gets re-elected. Many have speculated that Obama may seek payback for what is perceived as Netanyahu's preference for Obama's Republican challenger Mitt Romney, an old friend and ideological comrade.
Early this week, Netanyahu held out the prospect of elections when his office announced he would meet with coalition partners to discuss the budget. Since then, it has appeared increasingly likely that he will call a vote.
In perhaps the strongest sign that elections are near, Netanyahu has had a high-profile falling out in recent days with his closest ally, Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Netanyahu's office has accused Barak of trying to undermine him in discussions with American officials. Netanyahu was especially upset when Barak met Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, a close friend of Obama, during a recent trip to the U.S. without telling the prime minister. Barak has said he did nothing wrong, and has presented himself as a moderating force who has repeatedly smoothed over relations with the Americans throughout Netanyahu's tenure.

Research firm cites company among "top dog" vendors who "excel in their current offering and strategies"
WAYNE, Pa. – SunGard Availability Services announces that Forrester Research, Inc., a leading research firm, has listed it among the top providers in two recent reports, The Forrester Wave™: Traditional Disaster Recovery Service Providers, Q1 2014, and The Forrester Wave™: Disaster-Recovery-As-A-Service Providers, Q1 2014.
In two separate first-quarter reports released January 17th, 2014, Forrester cited SunGard Availability Services as one of two providers that "lead the pack" among a dozen vendors offering DRaaS, and among "the top dogs" in delivering traditional disaster recovery services.
In the "The Forrester Wave™: Disaster-Recovery-As-A-Service Providers, Q1 2014" SunGard Availability Services is one of two vendors cited for excelling in current offering and strategies, and who offer "very flexible solutions that cover the entire resiliency spectrum and allow users to pick from an array of standardized offerings to ensure that their needs are met." Additionally, the report lists Recover2Cloud, SunGard Availability Services' recovery solution on enterprise-class cloud infrastructure, as a "highly flexible and scalable offering backed by the company's decades of experience in the disaster recovery market."
Forrester Senior Analyst Rachel A. Dines, who focuses on serving infrastructure and operations professionals, authored the two reports, which entailed an evaluation of 12 providers of DRaaS and six traditional disaster recovery providers. In the DRaaS report, SunGard Availability Services received the second highest score among all vendors for its Market Presence, Current Offering and Strategy.
In discussing SunGard Availability Services' industry presence, the report noted that in the past few years, the company has expanded its recovery services portfolio to include cloud-based recovery offerings, "making its solution suite very comprehensive, from recovery offerings to consulting to BCP [business-continuity plan] software."
"I believe that Forrester has recognized the superior aspects of our Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service in an industry we pioneered," said Andrew Stern, SunGard Availability Services CEO. "We remain committed to meet our clients' changing needs and our Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service offering, Recover2Cloud, is an example of how our expertise ensures the high availability of our customers' critical data and applications. SunGard Availability Services provides disaster recovery services, managed IT services, information availability consulting services and business continuity management software to over 7,000 clients worldwide.

Heres an interesting experiment with the reproduction of the original luminance values in the print. Both 4 quad curves represent an average scene luminance range of 2.20 with one stop of flare. The negative, processed to CI 0.56 has a negative density range of 1.03 which closely matched the prints LER of 1.06.
The red highlighted reference line in the first example indicates the metered exposure which is at 12% reflectance. But notice how the original subjects tones at 12% reflectance become 18% in the print. The value of the metered luminance is lighter in the print.
4 quad - normal 12 percent.jpg Reproduction curve for 12 percent.jpg
Now, what would happen if something is metered slightly lighter than 12% reflectance like an 18% gray card and then printed it to a reflection density of 0.74?
4 Quad, 18 percent target.jpg Tone Reproduction - 18 percent keyed.jpg
The print tone matches the original luminance value, but not without a cost to the reproduction curve. Interesting enough, from what Ive recently discovered, this curve looks similar to the preferred portraiture curve.

Paxfest honors newborn whose life was cut short by cancer
Paxton Andrews' parents thought their newborn had a cold when they took him to the pediatrician. Sadly, it turned out that he had cancer. He died just shy of 5 months old.
His parents, John and Danna, who live in Bay View, decided to honor his memory last year with the inaugural Paxfest, which featured local bands including Fever Marlene and Maritime and food from Maxie's Southern Comfort and Blue's Egg. The event raised more than $15,000 for the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research co-founded by Milwaukee native and Elektra Records president Jeff Castelaz, and named after his late son Pablo. »Read Full Article

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."
Raymond Card. Burke
Thought food…
The Catholic Church is the exponent of Reality. It is true. Its doctrines in matters large and small are statements of what is. . . .My conclusion – and that of all men who have ever once seen it – is the faith. Corporate, organized, a personality, teaching. A thing, not a theory. It."
Hilaire Belloc to G.K. Chesterton
"In assessing Our duty and the situation now prevailing, We have been weighed upon by the thought that a matter of this kind [i.e. error in respect of the Faith] is so grave and so dangerous that the Roman Pontiff, who is the representative upon earth of God and our God and Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the fullness of power over peoples and kingdoms, who may judge all and be judged by none in this world, may nonetheless be contradicted if he be found to have deviated from the Faith.

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."

'Iran ready to address int'l concerns'
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has reaffirmed the Islamic Republic's commitment to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), expressing Tehran's readiness to further alleviate international concerns. "The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready for further cooperation in order to allay the international community's concerns," Mehmanparast said on Wednesday. Iran remains committed to its undertakings within the framework of regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the NPT, he added. The spokesperson pointed to the recent talks between Iran and the six major world powers (P5+1) in the Turkish city of Istanbul and the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, and said the sides agreed to proceed with the negotiations based on the NPT. The continuation of talks between Tehran and the P5+1 would lead to the recognition of Iran and other countries' rights to use peaceful nuclear energy, he added. Iran and the P5+1 -Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany- wrapped up their last meeting in Baghdad on May 24 after two days of negotiations. Both sides agreed to hold another round of talks in Moscow on June 18-19. Tehran and the P5+1 had also held three rounds of talks, one in Geneva in December 2010, and two in Istanbul in January 2011 and in April 2012. SF/GHN/MA

Habitat and Ecology
Habitat and Ecology
Behaviour This species is sedentary or locally nomadic1, 2. Populations in the north and south generally move towards the equator after breeding and other populations making dispersive movements in relation to water availablity1 or prey abundance2. In the tropics the species begins to breed in the dry season, but in the equatorial zone the timing of breeding is more variable1. It breeds in colonies numbering from 20-60 up to several thousand pairs and often nests with other species1. When not breeding the species often remains gregarious, feeding in groups and gathering at night in communal roosts of up to 1,000 individuals2. It may also associate with herds of large mammals in order to catch insects disturbed by their movements1. Habitat It inhabits open dry savannas, grasslands, swamps, riverbanks, lake shores and receding pools1 where fish are concentrated2, typically foraging in and around fishing villages1. Diet Its diet consists predominantly of carrion and scraps of fish discarded by humans as well as live fish, termites, locusts, frogs, lizards, snakes, rats, mice and birds1 (e.g. adult flamingoes Phoenicopterus spp.)3. Breeding site The nest is constructed of sticks1 and is positioned 10-30 m above the ground in trees, on cliffs1 or on buildings in towns and villages3. The species breeds colonially in single- or mixed-species groups1, usually in close proximity (less than 50-60 km) to a reliable food source2.

The mockumentary is the most fragile of jests, an esoteric pop-movie charade that is self-destructing at the very moment it has come of age. Christopher Guest virtually invented the form with "This Is Spinal Tap," but even as he refined this collegiate style of parody with "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best of Show," the joke seemed to be overstaying its welcome. In order for viewers to "get it," they must share with the filmmaker a smug awareness of the milieu being satirized, and all that mutual self-congratulation can become very tiresome.
That said, "Lisa Picard Is Famous" is high-grade lampoon, at once more consistently on-the-money and less patronizing than anything off the Christopher Guest conveyor belt. As with many phony documentaries, it's about show business: There is a natural affinity between style and subject, which tend to reflect back on themselves to a narcissistic degree.
The extravagant self-absorption of the actor is at the heart of director Griffin Dunne's "Lisa Picard Is Famous," which chronicles the career of a New York actress on the brink of some kind of notoriety. Laura Kirk (who wrote the film with her co-star, Nat DeWolf) gives a courageously dissonant performance as Picard, a 27-year-old unknown who has agreed to let a filmmaker (Dunne) document her struggle. Lisa is at a hopeful moment, relatively speaking: With only some children's theater, a real-life reenactment, and a controversial Wheat Chex commercial to her credit, Lisa is poised to break out with a cameo as actress Melissa Gilbert's sister in a made-for-TV movie. Lisa's dubious credits put her laps ahead of her best friend, Tate (a winning DeWolf), a cute but unremarkable young gay man who is putting all his chips on a confessional one-man show he has written about homophobia in show business.
After a flat beginning (Lisa's Wheat Chex commercial strains credibility, a visit to Tate's apartment is banal), the film gathers steam as Lisa auditions for an Advil commercial and Tate premieres his monodrama, a hilariously earnest riff on David Drake's "The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me" that features the obligatory underpants moment. In between, Dunne intersperses some unsettling interviews with real-life players in the fame game, from Carrie Fisher to a man who carried Edgar Bergen's dummies. Sandra Bullock appears as herself in a post office run-in with a sycophantic Lisa and Tate that makes you want to hide under your chair.
"Lisa Picard Is Famous" epitomizes the tightrope balance of mockumentary humor: It tends to fall off in the "big" scenes, when Kirk and DeWolf over-indicate to the camera for effect, as actors are fond of saying.
The best moments exude the tension of reality tweaked the barest notch, as in a devastating three-way encounter in which Charlie Sheen, playing himself, stealthily one-ups Tate in a play for Spike Lee's favor. That two of Sheen's more memorable roles in recent years ("Being John Malkovich" the other) send up his mercurial visibility is a testament to the shaky nature of fame that "Lisa Picard Is Famous" measures with caustic precision.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Court of the Judiciary has reprimanded a Bedford County judge for his handling of a juvenile case.
The disciplinary court said Tuesday that Judge Charles Rich did not submit findings of fact, delaying an appeal in the case.
The court also said Rich recused himself from the case, but still signed orders including one in July authorizing an attachment and incarceration for failure to pay child support.
Rich did not return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment on the reprimand.

Hi Gerd, Currently this is not recommended and is not supported. Thanks Dave ...
Hi Gerd,
Currently this is not recommended and is not supported.
is this a common scenario to put Ambari onto an already running cluster (HDP2 installed manually), or is this baaaaad and not recommended?
It would be great to have either a step-by-step explanation for how to install Ambari to manage the already running cluster, or some explanations why this is not useful/recommended/possible.
many thanks in advance

LOS ANGELES — At the risk of bringing you down, there's a good chance that a 12-year-old girl is gonna have a better 2010 than any of us.
Her name is [movieperson id="369028″]Chloe Moretz[/movieperson], better known as [movieperson id="24559″]Joseph Gordon-Levitt's[/movieperson] precocious little sister in [movie id="390766″]"(500) Days of Summer."[/movie] This year she'll not only enter her teens, but release three diverse, highly anticipated movies: The superhero action film [movie id="407165″]"Kick-Ass,"[/movie] the kid-friendly adaptation of the best-selling [movie id="425581″]"Diary of a Wimpy Kid"[/movie] series, and the vampire-in-love drama [movie id="410383″]"Let Me In."[/movie]
On the big screen, she's about to break out as a badass assassin. In real life, her bedtime is 9:30 and she has to refer to the movie as "Kick-Butt" around her parents. Recently, Chloe stopped by the MTV studios to discuss her inclusion in our "10 to Watch in 2010″ series, as well as where Hollywood ends and middle school begins.
MTV: So Chloe, congratulations! You are one of our 10 people to watch in 2010!
Chloe Moretz: I know; thank you so much.
MTV: We'll be watching you.
Moretz: [Laughs.] That's kinda creepy!
MTV: Now, at this point you're 12 years old, soon to be 13. Most of us know you from "(500) Days of Summer," but they recently began showing "Kick-Ass" to some advance audiences, and the buzz seems to be that it's "Citizen Kane" meets "The Dark Knight."
Moretz: That's a huge compliment. I'm just so shocked by all of this and how amazing it is. We just released all the commercials for it, and there's so much buzz about it and people are loving it. It's so exciting, because I really put my heart and soul into that movie.
MTV: Give us the film's plot, in your own words.
Moretz: Basically, [movieperson id="315970″]Aaron Johnson[/movieperson] plays Kick-Ass. He's a regular, everyday kid — a nerdy comic book fan. He's like, "Why doesn't anyone ever try to be Batman? Just a normal guy turned hero?" So he goes out, tries, and gets totally beaten up; he gets stabbed, and then run over by a car. He gets all this [prosthetic] metal put into his back so he can walk, otherwise he'd be totally paralyzed. And that becomes almost like a human shield on his back, so if you hit him he won't feel it. So, he goes out and [tries to be a hero] again and succeeds. That's when [Hit-Girl] and Big Daddy come in.
MTV: And you're Hit-Girl, a badass little-girl superhero.
Moretz: Yes, and Big Daddy is played by [movieperson id="9067″]Nicolas Cage[/movieperson]. We show up at his house, say, "We know about you," and he realizes we're real vigilantes. I've been trained since I was a baby to be this crazy assassin girl. What I like about the character is that she's an assassin, but at the same time she is still just an 11-year-old girl. She doesn't know any better; it's just how she was raised.
MTV: And none of these heroes have superpowers?
Moretz: No, just guns and knives and stuff.
MTV: Tell us about your favorite scene in the movie.
Moretz: When I go [to] kill a drug lord to get back at him — I think I kill 30 guys in, like, 30 seconds, in one corridor with two guns. Then I run out [of bullets], pick up another gun and shoot it, throw it at them, jump over a table and throw my legs forward, kicking [a bad guy] … later, I get stuck in a cupboard and have to throw kitchen knives. It's so fun; it was the coolest thing ever.
MTV: And how much of this training is useful in real life? If you were in a Starbucks with your parents and somebody tried to hold it up, could you kick that guy's ass?
Moretz: I'd be terrified. [Laughs.] I'd probably cry, scream and be like, "Call 911! I don't want to die!"
MTV: But after this movie, everyone's gonna think you're a badass!
Moretz: They'll think it — but if I wrestle my dad, he can take me down in two seconds with just his fingers. I'm a complete scaredy-cat.
MTV: The film supposedly sets up a sequel. Would you like to come back as Hit-Girl?
Moretz: I would love to. I can't say anything about [the ending], but I would love to be Hit-Girl twice, three times, four times in my life.
MTV: Tell us about April's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." We know the books are very popular — what's the movie about?
Moretz: The wimpy kid is a nerd, he's the total outcast of school. I'm an avant-garde school-paper editor with these crazy hairstyles and funky, out-of-nowhere clothes. It's a fun role for me to do. The wimpy kid goes from elementary school to middle school, and he's trying to survive in middle school. I'm in middle school now — it's really tough, the transition from little school to teenager … he's trying to get a popular kid reputation … it's a mixture, I think, of the first two books.
MTV: You also have "Let Me In" coming out in October, a remake of "Let the Right One In." Tell us about that film.
Moretz: It's about a boy who lives in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Growing up, not many people like him, he's not popular. He's wimpy, kind of an outcast. Then this girl moves in, she's totally different. She doesn't wear shoes, wears raggedy clothes — it's sort of like "Romeo and Juliet" with vampires. She can't be with him, because she's a vampire. But they fall in love; it's a really sweet coming-of-age story between a little boy and a little girl.
MTV: With "Twilight" and "True Blood" and "The Vampire Diaries" and everything else, bloodsuckers-in-love are very popular. What will make your film stand out?
Moretz: [Our vampires] aren't very glamorous. It's a very sad and heavy burden to have; it's not easy to live. You need blood to live, and that's not an easy thing to go through. [My character, Abby] has to kill for it. She's a very sweet, loving person. And that's why I relate to the character — she's a beast, it's a demon inside of her and she can't stop it from coming out … when I turn into a vampire, it's terrifying.
MTV: "Let Me In" has gore and violence. "Kick-Ass" has lots of adult language, and you kill dozens of people. As a 12-year-old girl, how do you deal with these themes at work, yet stay normal at home?
Moretz: It's a movie; it's not me. If I ever uttered one word that I said in ["Kick-Ass"], I would be grounded for years! I'd be stuck in my room until I was 20! I would never in a million years say that. I'm an average, everyday girl; when I act with my friends, I'm totally immature … I have to go to bed at 9:30, if I'm up late on the computer, I lose it for two months.
MTV: Don't you ever want to say, "Mom, you can't take away my computer! I'm a movie star!"
Moretz: [Laughs.] If I ever said that, my brothers would totally kill me. I have four brothers — and with my mom and my dad, they keep me totally grounded. My mom has always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it.
MTV: We'll hold you to that as we interview you over the years, so make sure your head is still normal-sized after you win the Oscar.
Moretz: Yes, thank you. [Laughs.] Keep me in check.
Check out everything we've got on "Kick-Ass."
