Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have

[epilogue]

Yeah, I hesitated listing Star Trek. I know I really enjoyed it, but I'm not even remotely a Trek fan. How did the die-hards feel?

I'm a die-hard and I absolutely adore it. But LV is also a die-hard and he hated it. So, like anything else, there are people in both camps. I think in general it was well received overall.

The new Star Trek movies are fucking terrible.

And probably the No. 1 reason the human race deserves its horrific end.

[run2death]

No sense of wonder and discovery, just one long Cadillac commercial.

Like I said, people in both camps.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Take it to the Album #12 thread.

Go fuck yourself.

I thought new Trek got the three main characters right, but not much else.

[run2death]

Anyone who thinks the new movies are "good" is NOT a long-time Trek fan.

Or they are so hopped up on the current Geek Sheep culture that they are not to be trusted.

Mostly I just think Chris Pine is amazing in everything.

Chris Pine is kind of cheesy

[run2death]

OK. Pine is good in the role, but it isn't the right role.

Kirk is the fulcrum on which the science and logic and base instincts rest.

Not the funnel in which everything mindless runs through.

I agree he's very good but he really could be a bit more choosey about his material

Meh. As someone who works in the entertainment industry and never knows for sure where his next paycheck is coming from, I say go get it. Do ALL the work. I don't have a problem with people working. Especially if they're talented and (by all accounts) nice.

DCT has no time for integrity.

JJ is the worst thing to happen to sci-fi.

I'll just sit here with my Asimov collections and let you "geeks" watch your shitty sci-fi and Marvel movies.
