JJ (messed) STAR TREK UP AND WILL (mess) UP STAR WARS TOO

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

If the only thing people can find to complain about is lens flares, then I think that's a pretty good sign for the movie. I've never really been bothered by the lens flares in Abrams stuff.

Honestly, I had no idea what a "lens flare" was until after the 2009 movie opened and there were all these people on-line complaining about the excessive "lens flares" in the reboot, which I hadn't even noticed.

Apply liberally.

^ Typical of certain Abrams fans: childish attacks. If his work was creatively viable, you would need to attack anyone for "daring" to point out problems in Abrams' work.

Nice. Another two months of cry baby bullshit from the usual suspects.

If Star Trek/Star Wars by Abrams isn't for someone, then there are plenty of other things one can devote their time to. Life is short, allow people to enjoy the things they want to enjoy in peace (within reason).

Why don't you direct you hostility (over some "filmmaker") toward you Abrams fans who made their own, trolling choice to enter a thread titled--

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

--to attack anyone who does not like that man's work. So, who is the crybaby? Sounds like those who lack so much self control, that they have to enter a thread they do not like on sight--only to attack those who share the OP's view.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

^I don't give a shit if you like Abrams' work or not. That's fine by me if you don't!

However, the lens flare thing is a very old, very tired criticism of his work. We get it. JJ gets it. Everyone gets it. But having someone who suggests that JJ "FUCK"ed up one franchise and is about to "FUCK UP" another... and leaving that "FUCK"ing up ONLY with discussions of lens flare? Don't you find that a tad ridiculous?
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

So it's Ok for you to have your opinion, and to defend it, but those of us who like his stuff have to just shut up and leave you alone.
You do realize the people who share your opinion do the exact same thing in threads started by us fans.
If I see something/someone I like being attacked, I'm going to defend it/them.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Using a screencap of a single lens flare from a two minute trailer to come to the conclusion that Abrams " WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS" doesn't exactly give the OP a lot of credibility. Why should we take it seriously?
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

If his work was creatively viable, you wouldn't need to attack anyone for "daring" to point out problems in Abrams' work.

:lol:

People criticize Beethoven. Does the fact that Beethoven's fans feel the need to counter those criticisms, especially the poorly founded ones, indicate his work is not "creatively viable"?

Before you carry on with your little temper tantrum to the point of ridiculousness (too late), the sum total of the OP's argument against Abrams is that there was lens flare in his Trek films which he thinks are "fucked up," and there's lens flare in this film he hasn't seen yet, so it too will be fucked up based on that single criteria alone.

If that's the hill you want to die upon with your silly defensiveness, go ahead, but that's an incredibly stupid reason to declare a film he hasn't seen yet to be ruined, and one which I'm entirely sure he said purely to get a negative reaction, which fits the trolling label you're throwing around far more readily than people responding to stupid remarks on the internet.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

I think people are also reacting to the somewhat over-the-top, all-caps headline. And the rather huge leap of logic in the actual post.

"OHMIGOD, A LENS FLARE! WE'RE DOOMED!"

It's also seems like a bit of a stretch to render judgment on this movie--or any movie--on the basis of a briefly-glimpsed lens flare in a trailer.

Maybe we can just, you know, wait until the movie opens before shouting from the mountaintops that the entire franchise has been fucked-up?

Just a thought.

Did you even read the thread title? Did you peruse the OP's content? Oh wait, you did. And it seems you consider it valid.

Good for you.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

I thought it was a pretty fantastic trailer myself. I can't wait to see it.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Mmmh, your rage gives me a boner!

Look man, say what you will about the films, but I'll have you know that that St. Bernard acted his heart out. He was much better than that poser in Cujo. That dog didn't spend four years at Julliard perfecting his technique for nothing.

I find it ridiculous to attack a member--in said member's thread--when JJ fans could have exercised self control and AVOID POSTING IN HIS THREAD. What purpose does that serve?

Translated: you are still being childish, and frankly disgusting with that image, because you cannot stop yourself from posting attacks against someone who is not worshiping Abrams.

Since the meat, what little is there, is right in the subject line, I'm required to look at it every single time I come into this forum. So, I might as well come in and call it what it is: "cry baby bullshit".

No one is required to like the Abrams movies, but how childish is it to try and kill the fun other folks are having?

I was unaware that the topic starter owned the thread they started? If one wants to act stupid, they shouldn't be surprised when people call them out on it.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

I shall reserve judgement on the film ill I actually see it, as for some lens flare as others have poined out it can happen. But will the new films be worse than the prequel triology? Not saying the prequel films are all bad jst that they could have been improved with things like a bit shaper dialouge etc..

If I post something on the internet, I know I've opened myself up to potential criticism. I would think that anyone else would know that as well about things they post.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

This is a public discussion forum. We have just as much right to refute the OP's ridiculous assertion as you do to defend it TREK_GOD_1. People don't own a thread just because they start it and there is no requirement for posters to agree with the OP.
