Star Trek Into Darkness - Part 5

[roach]

Yay!! Between this and getting tickets to an early Wolverine screening today, it's been a good movie day for me. t:

Amazon has a special edition set with a phaser:

don't shoot your eye out.

 

[J.Howlett]

Well, I know what version I'm getting.

If any of you got the Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol Best Buy Exclusive Blu-Ray, this set is essentially the same thing.

They've taken the special features that's housed on the regular Blu-Ray combo set and placed them on the second Blu-Ray disc, along with the exclusive 30 minutes of special features that only Target stores are getting.

So, the film is be by itself on the first Blu-Ray disc and the second Blu-Ray disc is going to have all of the special features.

Prefer this than the regular Blu-Ray combo set.

Do you guys think STID will get nominated for anything at the Golden globes or the Oscars?

Outside side of tech awards, doubtful.

 

[roach]

The Dark Knight has ruined us

 

[MrMaooz]

Outside side of tech awards, doubtful.

Whoops, should've included that. Yeah, I know it won't get nominated for those other things.

 

[Picard Sisko]

I never really took the Oscars seriously.

 

[Cannikin]

A Razzie, maybe, but no Oscar.

 

[Sawyer]

Troll Ranks All ST Films

Sigh...

 

[Picard Sisko]

-_-

 

[cloverfan98]

So will the 3D Blu Ray set come with any additional features that will NOT be in the Blu Ray and DVD set?

Troll Ranks All ST Films

Sigh...

What a joke.

Troll Ranks All ST Films

Sigh...

That's from a live poll conducted at the Star Trek convention this past weekend. It's not right to label them all trolls.

Oh so it's not from just one guy? You're probably right, then. Troll isn't the right term if the group is that big.

Uptight, self-serious basement-dwellers that despise change is probably more accurate.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Eh, everybody knew hardcore trekkies weren't going to like the new movies, but JJ & Co went well out of their way to not step on their toes and preserve their precious continuity.

And yet they're still *****ing about it. It's not even complaining about change. It's "I don't like this thing that you like because it's different from what what I like". Ugh. UGH!

 

[Compi716]

You see that the 2009 film is number 5 on that list, right? Clearly this isn't an anti-JJ thing.

 

[MrMaooz]

Is it me or did Pine bulk up a little bit?

the funny thing is most of the complaints trekkies have about he new movies were in the original movies and series.

Pretty much.

I've got a Trek fan who, like most of them, thinks that the general population is too dumb for ST and that the JJ movies dumbed it down for the sake of money.

Attitudes like that are the reason they are mocked incessantly.

 

[Picard Sisko]

I'm a huge Trekkie and have no problem with the JJ Abrams movies. The new film series has given the franchise a fresh breath of air and brought it back to life.

Now that more people are interested in Star Trek, I think the chances of getting back a new Star Trek TV series are higher.

 

[Doc Ock]

A new Star Trek TV series set in the original timeline would be sweet while having the movies continue to be the new JJ timeline.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Now that more people are interested in Star Trek, I think the chances of getting back a new Star Trek TV series are higher.

I was hoping they'd wrangle Bruce Greenwood into a Captain Pike show but alas.

 

[Doc Ock]

I was hoping they'd wrangle Bruce Greenwood into a Captain Pike show but alas.

Maybe they still could taking place in between movies?

 

[roach]

actually I read somewhere that one of the reasons JJ left for Star Wars is because he wanted to make the new movies into a bigger franchise...tv, comics and games...and the powers that be said no.
