Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

How 'bout telling us how you really feel?
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

You do realize lens flares really do happen, watch some NASA video from space. Or watch A New Hope again, when the Falcon comes to help Luke. Lens Flare happens there too. Was that ruined as well?
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Oh boy. Not another one of these "JJ ruined my childhood" threads.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

TITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In before the lock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

The prequels fucked up Star Wars.

But people didn't give a shit (such is their love of the franchise)

If JJ puts a light saber in the hands of Kermit the frog and has him spending two hours just singing about nipple clamps and butt plugs, people would still go and see it and tell you it was brilliant.

Welcome to fandom.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I want this to be the new QUINTO'S SPOCK SHOULD BE CONSTANTLY SHOUTING!
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Sigh. There is a bright, beautiful world out there - full of joy and laughter.
Perhaps the OP should take a break and enjoy it.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Lens flare is good.

In any event, J.J. Abrams is the only reason there is a Star Trek now. So...
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Another point for the OP: Lens flare is a commonly used effect, both on TV shows and films, thus it is strange to see people overreact to its usage.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

To be fair - in the new ST films, their useage IS overused.

Seriously. The lens flare in the trailer is what made the OP decide JJ has ruined Star Wars without having even seen the actual movie?

On that I would agree with you, but they didn't stop me from enjoying the new films.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

So what are we all having for dinner?

We had pasta.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

I'm going out for dinner with my wife tonight. Date night!
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

I looked through the trailer again and caught two, maybe three instances of lens flare despite countless opportunities for its use (for example, when the figure is climbing around inside the huge derelict spacecraft with a bright blue helmet light swinging back and forth across the camera). So the OP's complaint is a non-starter.

There is lens flare in the first Star Wars movie, after all - in every one, in fact.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

To be fair - in the new ST films, their useage IS overused.

Especially in the first one. The lens flare effect was utilized in the worst moments in the film. Both films had them at times when people were just standing having a discussion. I suspect he will do the same for SW.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

BRICK: "LOUD NOISES!"

Quit your bellyaching. If the biggest concern in your life is that JJ Abrams used a (*gasp*) lens flare, then you need to get out more.

PS - I'm having wings and beer tonight with the guys. Pretty excited for that!
