Star Trek Into Darkness - International Trailer

Fletch says...

Well, it IS just a preview, but I kinda see your point. But movies are fantasy. Big budget movies require big audiences, and one way to bring them (and me) in is to make movies like this. I, for one, enjoyed the hell out of the previous movie (think I'll watch it on BluRay right now), and I have no doubt I'll love this one.

Is character development really needed for characters we've known for over 45 years? Granted, new actors will portray them a little differently, and the reboot takes place earlier than TOS. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find myself wanting for more character exposition after the last movie. Hell, I thought they did an awesome job of introducing each character and laying out their individual personalities and quirks.

My least favorite of all the Star Trek series was TNG. I dug it, but it would be at the bottom if I had to rank them. I dunno, too idealist and preachy, maybe. JFC, I think Picard referred to the Prime Directive at least once an episode. Some episodes just bored me to death. I wanted every episode to be Enterprise vs. the Borg. I much prefer Kirk kicking a Gorn's ass, or fighting alongside Abe Lincoln, or in pursuit of the Praetor's finest flagship, or battling Apollo or "General Trelane, Retired". TOS was often campy, but always fun, and that's how I prefer my Star Trek.


Edit: Noted that you were speaking more generally about movies nowadays, and I'm speaking specifically about Star Trek.

I'm not a Star Trek fan, but neither do I dislike it. The problem here for me isn't what they've done to the franchise, it's what seems to be happening to every movie.

Why is everyone a "badass"? Why is everyone talking in the Batman voice? Why must every tense scene be accompanied by the focus character yelling, "aaaaaaaAAAAAAGGGH!"? Why is every tense scene followed by an exchange of quips? Why does everything have to be destroyed?

The Formula is tired and overdone. I would like to see movies with character development, acting, and interesting stories again. Even summer blockbusters should have room for that.

Darkside of the Moon - Did Kubrick fake the moon landings?

MichaelL says...

What twaddle! Not only did the Apollo astronauts go to the moon, they discovered the presence of the established lunar base on the dark side of the moon.
Google 'Alternative 3' or look for the YouTube video. The truth is out there...

Why the moon hoax would have been impossible

shuac says...

When I saw 'Collins' in the tags (and taking note of the subject matter), I assumed it was the same Collins who piloted the big command module around the moon during Apollo 11 while Aldrin and Armstrong were on the surface making all manner of history & shit.

But it was just a coincidence.
