welp. looks like the new trek movie is a rehash of the last fucking batman shit.


fuck you hollywood!

In a world where we don't need hollywood anymore. The cowboy can go die.

[JackRiddler]

Looks totally bad. And booooorrrring. Same old same old uh oh the Earth is to be destroyed, whatever shall we do to save it? Also, the first one already featured a crazy guy commanding an overwhelming force and seeking genocidal revenge, being battled in a giant multi-ship shoot'em up. The first villain could have delivered the exact same monologue. So what's the diff?

If they'd been smart they'd have broadened the appeal with some tribbles.

Writer Lindelof, who is also a producer, compared the sequel to The Dark Knight

"We're looking at a movie like The Dark Knight, which went one step beyond Batman Begins," Lindelof said. "It was really about something, and at the same time it was a superhero movie. We don't want to abandon all the things that made the first movie work...but we also really want the movie to thematically resonate."

fuck these clowns

Lost was a fucking sick joke and a complete waste of millions of man-hours of human existence.

[DrEvil]

I just watched the trailer an hour ago, and I honestly thought it was the same bad guy until I saw his face. And Lindelof is living proof of my theory of "too many stupid people". (See the dumb republicans thread).
That said I'm a sucker for good special effects, so I'll probably YARR! the bluray and watch it at some point.

Edit: Lost is one of the very few TV shows I dislike so much that I'm actively hostile to it. I wanted to scrub my eyeballs with bleach after the first season.

Do people really still watch movies? My attention span's diminished to 140 characters.

so the villain from the new crap star trek movie, will also be playing Assange in a movie to come out just a few months after ST. What a coincidence!

Julian Assange calls WikiLeaks movie a ‘massive propaganda attack’
By Agence France-Presse | Wednesday, January 23, 2013 20:35 EST

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange hit out on Wednesday at a Hollywood film about his secret-spilling website, calling the movie “a massive propaganda attack”.

Speaking to students at Britain’s prestigious Oxford University by videolink from the Ecuadoran embassy in London, Assange revealed that he had acquired a copy of the script for “The Fifth Estate”, due to be released in November.

“It is a lie upon lie. The movie is a massive propaganda attack on WikiLeaks and the character of my staff,” the Australian Internet activist told the audience at the university’s Oxford Union debating club.

Assange, 41, also blasted the movie for “fanning the flames” of war against Iran by implying that the Islamic republic was working on a nuclear bomb.

Reading from the script, he said the opening scene was set inside a military complex in Iran with documents containing nuclear symbols.

“How does this have anything to do with us?” Assange said from the embassy, where he has been holed up since June after claiming asylum in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces allegations of sex crimes.

DreamWorks Studios announced on Tuesday that it had begun shooting the WikiLeaks movie, which stars British actor Benedict Cumberbatch as Assange.

A photo released by the company showed Cumberbatch with lank hair dyed the same platinum shade as the WikiLeaks founder’s, with German actor Daniel Bruehl standing beside him as former WikiLeaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg.

“‘The Fifth Estate’ traces the heady, early days of WikiLeaks, culminating in the release of a series of controversial and history changing information leaks,” DreamWorks said, adding that the movie would open in the United States on November 15.

Director Bill Condon, who directed the final two instalments in the “Twilight” vampire saga, said the movie “won’t claim any long view authority on its subject, or attempt any final judgement”.

“We want to explore the complexities and challenges of transparency in the information age and, we hope, enliven and enrich the conversations WikiLeaks has already provoked,” he said.

Ecuador granted asylum to Assange in August but Britain refuses to grant him safe passage out of the country, leaving the former computer hacker stuck inside the embassy.

Britain says it is obliged to see Assange extradited to Sweden. Assange denies the sex crime allegations, which he says are a politically-motivated attempt to see him sent to the United States and prosecuted.

WikiLeaks enraged the United States in 2010 by publishing hundreds of thousands of classified documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a huge cache of US diplomatic cables that embarrassed governments worldwide.

Despite those amazing qualifications of his?

James Bond No. 23 already beat them to it though:


Hacker, pervert, evil! His only motive is Revenge on The System.

....yikes...and The Time Machine was predictive programming...!

[8bitagent]

JJ admitted he wasnt a fan of Star Trek. And now he's the guy behind the upcoming Star Wars movie. Why dont they just merge the canons and get it over with.

[DrVolin]

You can't go home again.

[Simulist]

Yeah... I like JJ Abrams a lot, and I'm very much looking forward to the next Star Trek and Star Wars.

And I've been a HUGE fan of both, from the very beginning.

Have a nice day.

stylistically, he seems to be angling for the leading role in a Barton Fink remake.
