Good lord the end of "Gambit" is dumb. Everyone is able to instantly not think angry thoughts in the middle of a tense situation. Picard might as well have told them to stop thinking about elephants.

Ghostbusters has a much better version of that. You can't not think, so you get a huge murderous marshmallow man.

I thought it was more about the underlying emotions than just the surface thoughts, the whole thing about the weapon was it became useless when the Vulcans embraced logic philosophy and got control of themselves. The away team defeated it by going zen and finding their happy place, which considering all the freaky emotion-eating noncorporeal entities and poo poo that ships named Enterprise run across, they probably actually trained for.

Perfect Roddenboring TNG people wouldn't have had any trouble with that episode of TOS where a freaky space skull teleports them to the Old West

Have seen Doctor Strange a couple of times now, and the similarities between the main theme and the JJ Abrams movies is striking. Both themes were composed by Michael Giacchino, so I suppose there should be done commonality, but it's really obvious and takes me out of the movie.

As a huge Marvel movie fan I kept getting taken out by how nakedly they were trying to do "Iron Man, but if went to wizard school."

Don't want to start a derail, but scared to go into BSS: Does the movie mean they're finally going to do affordable color collections of the 60s Strange stuff like they have for the more well- known characters? I have one of those big newsprint books, and I know the black-and-white isn't doing justice to the :ditkodrugs:.

I almost never register the score of a movie, I think I am just not musically inclined, and while I know I am missing out on something, the complaints that a comic book movie is too much like [good thing] seem silly to me. I can remember the music from Star Wars and Jurassic Park and all that, and I know I enjoy good music in a movie while I'm watching it, but it's usually a vaguely remembered dream if at all.WeAreTheRomans posted:And Dr Strange sucks rear end You either had a very much better or very much worse theatre experience than I did.

Ripping off other movies' music is an incredibly common thing, and it often happens because temp tracks end up getting so ingrained into the director's mind while editing that a composer is literally paid to do a sound-alike for the film. They probably temped Doctor Strange with the reboot Trek theme.

Heck, Nick Meyer didn't have the money to license his preferred recording of The Planets, so he hired Cliff Eidelman to basically rip it off for Star Trek VI.

Gambit in general is pretty bad. I dunno what there was about it that needed to be a two-parter either. It's probably the worst of those in TNG, or tied with Descent.

I never minded Gambit too much. It's far better than Time's Arrow and Birthright.

Going back to film scores, my buddy and I were music majors in college and we went to see that awful Troy movie with Brad Pitt. One of the themes was taken note-for-note from a major theme in Shostakovich's fifth symphony. We both recognized it right away and laughed our asses off the rest of the movie at how shameless it was. Everyone else there with us was not so amused.

The best worst part of Time's Arrow is when Mark Twain action-hero dives his way into the future and the Enterprise crew just kinda roll with it and let him wander around squawking at all the future tech.

I'm imagining a meeting of the officers we didn't see where they agree to tell the enlisted that Twain is an errant but benign holodeck program loose on the ship to save face. "Just humor him and eventually he'll disappear."
