But I'll agree the cover image is balls.

host em or link to the article, not the image directly. that's just rude, wrong, and slack. lucky someone hasn't swapped in a goatse image yet.

Give the fans something to be exited about, for fuck's sake.

In all seriousness please, Mr Abrams, turn out a better product then your last foray into movies. Sir I'm not asking for greatness because this is a Hollywood production in the 21 first century, I know that its not possible or probable, so if you could please turn out a competent movie. That's all I want minimal competence.

By the way, I'm not a cannon junky or trekkie. I would just like to see a minimally competent movie is all. I keep my expectations EXTREMELY low with Hollywood now a days.

Who's booking the bets on the time that J.J. Abrahms lap dog Bob Orci shows up? I got a finsky on 2130 hrs central standard time.

This is NOT the bridge I grew up with, this is NOT the bridge I thought would appear and by God it's NOT the bridge I can appreciate.

I suspect next fall Stan and Cartmen will be doing an episode where Roddenberry's corpse gets raped by JJ and the writers.

Any junk will do.

With all of that said, I'm very willing to give this film a chance. I think the first real trailer will be the dealbreaker for me.

At least get someone who LOOKS like he could command a starship.

For example, in the MAD MEN DVD commentary, the producers said that they were look for acting styles for the younger actors that was different from the typical approach -- and it worked. We'll see if JJ's TREK took a similar path.

And as for not messing with something that works, remember that TOS did not "work" in the end from a mainstream success perspective. I loved it, but it was canceled after two seasons, and got a 1 year lower budget reprieve. It became beloved AFTER it's original death. And the later TOS movies did not respect the old bridge, uniforms, alien makeup, or lots of other things, so this is hardly unprecidented.

but concerning the bridge why should i wait for the context? it doesnt resemble at all the original ncc-1701 enterprise,it doesnt resemble the bridge of a semi-militaristic spaceship in a movie where speace battles and human confrontations are expected,it doesnt even resemble a well designed bridge for a spaceship.i mean what the fuck are the black joysticks for?.is the crew playing atari games during its break? is this the context are we talking about? that retrogaming exists in the future too?

anyway this movie and watchme will be the crapfests of 2009.yes they will be good movies,and probably they are going to make money,but for me they dont their respects to the original source,well notas they should.
