I'm curious, what exactly would JJ have had to do in order to fulfil your nebulous requirements to make a movie that is sufficiently "Star Trek"?

Also Into Darkness was complete poo poo, we can agree on that at least.

content: I have started watching 24 and I really like the idea that each episode is an hour of real time in the show. However this is actually a lie as the episodes are only forty minutes.

24 would have been a much better show if every season wasn't about Jack loving Bauer. Like, it was a cool concept for season one, but switching to some other agent having a really lovely day for the next one would've been so much better.

That makes sense instead of everything happening to one guy. I am on season 1 still and it is pretty neat though that Tony guy is a real jerk. Jack's wife is pretty badass which I liked.

I'm not good at stopping terrible derails, but here's a really stupid complaint:

I hate the end of Black Sheep when Chris Farley gets his jacket caught in his father's private airplane. Just take the drat jacket off, you doofus. I get that it's supposed to be funny, but he's still hanging off the plane when it gets airborne; does he just die after the camera fades out to credits?

As much as I like that idea (read the Eugenics War series and you can see Gary and Kahn interact), Gary 7 was alive in the 1960s. How would they bring him forward?

In TOS he was a time traveler from the 24th century sent back terminator style to end a war against somebody who probably had a weird forehead. Since he was never mentioned again in the series they could have gone pretty much anywhere with it.

EmmyOk posted:

Star Trek is like all those old properties that are kind of silly but fans harp on about their artistic integrity.

Kids loved the new TMNT film just like kids loved the old ones, adults who can't let go of childhood hated it.

I haven't seen the new Turtles movie, but the biggest complaint about Micheal Bay movies is that they aren't about the actual property. He just uses whatever franchise he's working on to deliver a love story about people that nobody cares about.

In all fairness TMNT was a total mess. It was basically 3 lovely movies cut up and stitched into one incoherent film. The thing that bugs me is that like the transformers movies, they decide to take the least interesting character and focus the entire movie around them.

Your life and your quest end here.


I only watched the first of the new Star Trek movies, but the thing I thought it did wrong was not make it about exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilisations and boldly going where no one has gone before. I don't like TOS and I've no idea how its movies stack up, but I also hated all the TNG movies for basically the same reason.

That's not their mission until the end of the movie though.

It's even the closing narration.

The old Star Trek movies had glittery aliens and I don't know what else because I didn't watch them. The new ones had car chases and explosions.

That applies to pretty much none of the movies, except maybe I and V, some of the worst Trek movies.

All DC stuff is the same too, though. Marvel movies are formulaic while DC films are less cookie cutter but all Nolan-ish and grimdark.

Not if you count the previous Batman trilogy the current movies are desperately trying to be. I saw a headline that was like, "New Dawn of Justice pics show angry Superman, brooding Batman" and thought that's what the name of the movie should be, Angry Superman v Brooding Batman.

I liked the dark reimaginings of stuff before they became the only type of film. Someone recently made a Power Rangers one where it's all dark and evil which was pretty dumb imho. I liked Man of Steel in a lot of ways but it was hard to buy their "he gives us hope and light" message when he bashed up all those buildings.
