Cool. But after the last movie I have no faith that JJ Abrams has any sense of what a good Star Trek movie would be so even if they write one I doubt he'd make it.

If it makes you feel better Abrams is only producing this one, not directing.

I liked both of his, but can see why someone would not like them.

It doesn't make me feel any better since I assume as producer he is picking the script. But Star Trek is so ingrained in me from childhood (I was much more into it than Star Wars) that I'm sure I'll see whatever BS he continues to spew out and then slap a "Star Trek" brand on.

(And I was moderately ok with the first one. The second was was just awful, stupid, awful some more, and so far down the path of being a comic book movie that it couldn't see the Star Trek universe with the viewscreen on full magnification.)

Get used to it: the feeling will hit you more and more as time goes on. For the firs time in my life, I am working for someone younger than me.

Sorry for getting off topic… Movies, writing, plots, etc.

I just wish Abrams would quit the stupid lense flare crap. It's in his movies and TV, and it's awfull. And awfully annoying. It use to be called bad filming, now he thinks it's artsy fartsy or something.....

I agree- if you absolutely have to have the lens flare, do it once, and then QUIT IT. Ditto for the spinny-camera-pulling-back thing.

Yeah, I get it. Two and Four were so stinking bad few people in their right mind would ever purchase them so you are trying to force feed them on people. Sorry, but I'm not going for it. I'll just keep waiting until I can add 1 and 3 by themselves.




* OK, I might have fudged the price a bit to make my point but still... This is BS.

Good things come to those who wait. I was able to pick up Raiders Of The Lost Ark plus Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade from Amazon today.

RStar 05-19-2014 09:45 PM

That price wouldn't be too bad if it came with a solid gold idol....

Just saw "Million Dollar Arm" - somewhat predictable, but still a fun movie. Based on a true story, and they give some snippets of reality at the end (which I really like).

Alex 05-21-2014 10:37 AM

Just not snippets about the interesting part of the story (you have no idea what happened to the ballplayers).

For as purely formulaic movie as it was it was well enough done. But I walked away feeling they took a very interesting story and focused on the least interesting part (the personal growth of the savior white guy figure).
