I assume Blinded by the Light has prominently featured on like every mix he's ever made.

It's just so fucking true.

I mean, I get not liking Abrams. But I don't get not thinking the man takes pretty pictures. For all the reasons to hate Star Trek (for example), 'it's not beautiful' shouldn't be one of them.
He has all the visual style of a Cadillac commercial.

I watched Into Darkness this weekend and there were two or three scenes where the lens flare was so bad you couldn't see the actors. And it wasn't for a second or two, one scene was for almost 5 seconds of just flare. wtf. Tell me there's an interview out there where they don't just suck his dick and actually ask him wtf he's thinking with those things.

There's a moment when they're talking about how frustrated they are by Khan and his goddamn academy, or whatever, while fauxBones is tribbling it up in the foreground. Kirk offers some line of dialog or other that may or may not, depending on my memory, be important to the plot chase scene plot that makes up the last 1/3 of the movie....and at that exact moment his entire face is obscured by flare.

In a scene where they're just standing around talking.

In sickbay.

Probably.

Yeah, I didn't notice it. It's hardly as serious as the drum fills flubbed by Matt Cameron on the 'Sirens' video.

It's really bad. She was in Peter jacksons lovely bones and acquitted herself despite the goings on around her. Also good in Hannah. Like a Bourne type movie but for chicks

Other than that she's an overwrought mess of an actress and doesn't deserve to be in these.

She's firmly part of Hayden Christensen territory.

OMG, movies for chicks are always terrible.

I didn't even watch The Lovely Bones, but I enjoyed the book.
