I'm just poking fun, yr poast speed seemed excessive(buzzzed), but this may be due to ++game content of threads noted in my last reply............................................. .................................

[phoenix]

I have to say, I DONT miss the days where I often ran into 'you can only post once every 15 seconds' errors.

[floatingslowly]

sometimes, I miss:

 

and by sometimes, I mean, all the time.

Yes. Very much so, the films, the music, and the soundtracks of the late 60's/early 70's. Probably because I grew up watching The Avengers, Godzilla Movies, Star Trek, and 70's Sesame Street reruns

[DeadDiscoDildo]

So who here has actually seen the new movie?

I was never a big Star Trek fan, I was younger and had a short attention span so all the intellectual shit bored me and I was more into Star Wars because Jedi are cooler.

BUT

Star Trek was always on when I grew up, dad was a big fan...remember always watching next generation and even Voyager sometimes with my dad, it was the only way I was allowed to stay up.

As I got older I still didnt quite like the cheesiness/campiness of it all, and the next generation was more political and boring rather than wild west....But even though some of the scientific shit was interesting...especially now that we have cell phones...etc. it just couldnt capture my attention....

I may be coming around, I dunno....but I really liked this movie haha.

I know some of you UBER nerds are pissed about the way they "changed" things, but I thought it was done rather brilliantly, changing...without...changing.

ya know?


EDIT: god damn, I need to gather thoughts in shorter sentences....

anyway,

SHORT POST:

Good action
Actually felt like a massive star ship
It was believable
decent story
Beastie Boys
Pretty rad movie

I haven't yet but I will this week probably.

People always hate movies when made from cult status anything. Can't please em all. I actually really enjoyed the first ... 5/6?th of the wolverine origins film. (everyone seems to hate it)..

imo you cannot escape a certain amount of cheesi-ness when making film about sci fi or comic/graphic novels. More so in the latter two. It's part of what makes it good.

The music of Sven Libaek and his orchestra.

 

Two original albums and a slew of incredible TV Series soundtracks. The man is one of my all time favorite musicians. Warm beautiful atmospheric jazz. All of his music is long out of print. You can download most of it for free here:http://pecksspetrips.blogspot.com/search?q=sven+libaek

Some of my favorites:

Godzilla vs The Sea Monster 1966, by Masaru Sato
Goldfinger by John Barry

and Alexander courage's early scores

thanks!

I'm planning to see it this week. Of all the things I've heard about it (Spoilers), there are only two things that bother me. One is the actor who plays Kirk. When I first saw him I thought to myself " Uggh. He looks like a male model " Only to find out he really IS. He's got that whole pursed lips, dawson's creek look. Bad choice. I'll have to watch it to see, but still, bad choice

The 2nd thing is the Beastie Boys. COME ON!! You're gonna sit there and tell me Beastie Boys music and classic cars belong in a movie that is supposed to take place in the year 2300?

[Rob Instigator]

I love the original, the next gen, and deep space 9

[floatingslowly]

I'm on episode #65 of the Star Trek: Enterprise series.

I started watching because the vulcan makes my probe rigid, but I ended up getting kind of hooked.

Maybe not classic cars, but isn't this only supposed to take place a few hundred years from now?

...We still listen to Classical music right? haha. How old is that again?

& the way technology is headed/is at this current moment, why couldnt Beastie Boys exist?


But I know what you mean, I'm just saying, it isn't out of the question.



As far as Kirk goes, I thought the same thing...didn't think that guy would be any good...

The movie changed my mind. I thought it was a good performance. The character developement seemed to fit, on all fronts really.

[EyeballGrowth]

Yea it's 300 years from now but come on. Beastie Boys? come on. Beastie Boys fucking rule, but come on

And yeah I was glad to hear they portrayed Kirk as a reckless hoodlum youth. I dunno, I'll have to see. I absolutely hate everything else that director has ever done, I'm really just going to see it because the special effects look kick ass

[DeadDiscoDildo]

I don't like MI3, Alias, or that stupid movie about the monster in NYC, but I LOVE Lost. As long as you don't talk shit about that, we're cool.

But who gives a shit. See the movie and form yr own opinion, the special effects alone will make you like it, best I've seen in a long time.

The opening sequence is unreal....

See it in IMAX if you can.

Well, I guess we are not cool anymore. Just saw it for the first time when my friend made me sit through an episode. Truly one of the worst things I've ever watched. Sorry man, you had to say it
