Star Trek: The Next Threaderation

[Kotowboy]

That trailer looked fucking awful.

And "Sabotage" in a Star Trek film?  Really?  WTF

Because we never listen to 300 year old music now.

We listen to Bach and Beethoven now.

Not the same thing, and you know it.  Give me a fucking break.

[Kotowboy]

  Yes Master.

[El Barto]

One down. El Barto is up next.

Not really necessary. You know as well as the rest of us that looks absolutely awful.

[hefdaddy42]

I don't always check out AintItCoolNews anymore, but there are some lol-worthy comments there.

Star Trek: Beyond Recognition

Like poor marksmen they keep...MISSING...THE...Target!!

PARAMOUNT, YOU BLOODSUCKER!

They are indeed laughing at the superior intellect.

My God, Bones. What have they done?

Their pattern suggests two dimensional thinking.

STAR TREK: BEYOND. Good title, as it is beyond me how this is supposed to be Star Trek.

Oh hey guys.  Let's do something that's never been done in a Trek film.  Let's destroy the Enterprise!

[Kotowboy]

Oh hey guys.  Let's do something that's never been done in a Trek film.  Let's destroy the Enterprise!

Yeah that's only been done... Ooh let's see.

Motion picture - nope
Khan - nope
Spock - yes
Voyage - nope
Frontier - nope
Country - nope
Generations - yep
Contact - nope
Insurrection - nope
Nemesis - nope (damaged yes )

2009 - nope
Into Darkness nope - damaged yes


Wow. Every film !

[hefdaddy42]

You're right, you totally invalidated my comment.

Oh wait, no you didn't.

It's been done.  More than once.

[Kotowboy]

You're right, you totally invalidated my comment.

Oh wait, no you didn't.

It's been done.  More than once.

Twice before in 50 years.

WOW THEYRE SO OUT OF IDEAS.

[Kotowboy]

Oh for fucks sake i just noticed the Enterprise is IN SPACE in that trailer.


Jesus fucking christ can they not do anything original ?

[Dream Team]

That trailer looked fucking awful.

Roddenberry's corpse is once again sobbing profusely.

[Kotowboy]

The Fake Outrage is strong in this thread.

[Dream Team]

The Fake Outrage is strong in this thread.

Nothing in that trailer looked remotely like the series Roddenberry created. You disagree on that point?

[Kotowboy]

Yeah fuck it. The movies should look like they cost £40 and use cardboard sets and foggy lenses on all the female characters and over dramatic acting with massive close ups.

The TV show still exists. Why not watch that

[jammindude]

Where have you guys been? Sabotage was in the first 20 min of the first reboot!

[El Barto]

The Fake Outrage is strong in this thread.

You do realize that every singe one of us would be thrilled if the new movie was an actual Star Trek movie and not just TFatF, right? Nobody here is outraged. We were all expecting this. We're, at most, disappointed that the trailer confirmed what we all hoped wouldn't be the case. There's a very valid criticism of what they're calling Star Trek now that damn near everybody here shares, and which we've all discussed ad nauseum in this thread. You either don't share it, or don't mind it, which is great. Glad you enjoy these movies. There are parts of them that I enjoy, albeit in a different context. Not sure why you need to be so God damned pissy about nobody else being on the bandwagon.

Personally, I miss the days when the Star Trek thread was about discussing Star Trek.

[Kotowboy]

I watched the trailer closely and there was literally nothing in it that SCREAMED "Fast & Furious Director"

Um...what about the bike jump ?

Kirk drove a car off a cliff in 2009.

People are just jumping on whatever bandwagons they can.

If this film was directed by Edgar Wright - everyone would be going " LOL Shaun of the Trek - where's all the zombies omfg  lol "

[Kotowboy]

Not sure why you need to be so God damned pissy about nobody else being on the bandwagon.

Right. it's more like - I say I'm excited about the new movies and I enjoy them and everyone has a heart attack and jumps on me for not sharing THEIR opinion.

Example.

[El Barto]

No, we all shit on the movie for looking like a generic explosionfest. I seriously doubt anybody objects to you liking such a thing.

[Kotowboy]

 

[King Postwhore]

 

Hey I enjoy the 2 movie so far. I'd much rather see the old Trek style in  a 24 arch season on a TV show personally.

[Kotowboy]

I'm not gonna trash Beyond until i've seen it.

See you back here on June 23.

[Implode]

Not really a huge Star Trek fan, but came in here to say I'm so sorry. Star Trek doesn't deserve to be lowered to the tier of "shitty summer action movie everyone will forget about in 4 months." I know it's just a trailer and maybe the movie will be different, but honestly that's exactly what this trailer is marketing this movie as.

Great references.

Compare that to Star Wars, which has established so much goodwill since the start, and has built such amazing hype with the trailers, it just makes Star Trek look like a second rate hack job franchise. And now we can look forward to a TV show of the same empty crap too......

From this trailer, the absolute best I can hope for is to be able to sit through the movie without leaving.

[El Barto]

Whoa, you're actually going to spend seventeen of those kangaroo dollars to see this thing?

No.

It's actually about 20 dollary-doos.

As awful as it's going to be, I'm obligated to see it. I know, I know, I'm part of the problem.

[Implode]

To be fair, Star Wars had its second rate hack job prequel trilogy. And on top of that, Disney plans on releasing a Star Wars movie every single year for the foreseeable future. There is still plenty of time to run that series into the ground as well.

True on all counts! I'm only speaking for this current point in time.
With a Star Wars movie every year, they'll need to maintain high quality to avoid franchise fatigue. So far I think the future of Star Wars is looking good, although again to be fair, we haven't seen the movie yet, or had time to let it sink in (Episode 1 wasn't even that hated right away). Between Star Trek: Beyond and the recently announced series, the future of Trek is currently looking pretty bleak to me. Obviously I'll give it all a chance, although the previous two movies have established a low standard.

Kotowboy takes on the Threaderation thread

 

Ya know, I'd like to see an exchange between mrrct and Kotow.  It would be reminiscent of Data vs Hutch in Starship Mine (but instead of small talk, it would be taking offense and getting uber defensive for no logical reason).   

[hefdaddy42]

Exactly.  Enjoy it if you can. 

[Kotowboy]

I plan to.

And If I don't like it - then i'll say so.

But unlike everyone else - i'm not gonna watch 90 seconds out of context 8 months from release date and decide it's fucking shit and not go see it.

We saw 90 seconds of crap in the context of having seen the two films prior. 

But you're right, you are obviously the only one whose opinion is valid.  THE ENTIRE REST OF THE THREAD is obviously wrong.

Have fun with it.  I hope you like it.

[Kotowboy]

you guys are hilarious.
