JJ Abrams

[CaptainSpirk]

I think I saw somewhere once that J.J. said that his movies were the only ones not to use numbers.

Does he not know that "The Next Generation" movies also did not use the numbering system. What an egotistical ass-head to claim that his films were the only ones not to use number.

Someone back me up if they've heard or read this somewhere before as well.

I really don't care much for J.J. Abrams.

 

[Kemaiku]

Maybe do some research and actually see if he said it at all first before starting an entire thread to bash a man you've never met?

 

[F. King Daniel]

I'm a fan of JJ's films, both Trek and otherwise.

I don't really care whether the movies have numbers or not, and if you do I think you're watching it wrong

 

[Kemaiku]

Yeah, of all the things to get upset over, it's well down the list. I've seen pretty devoted fans get things wrong worse than that before.

 

[The Wormhole]

I'll be the first to criticize Abrams at the drop of the hat, to say nothing of Orci and Lindelof too (Kurtzman isn't even worth mentioning). But unless you have proof of Abrams actually saying that his movies are the only ones not to be numbered, than this isn't even a topic. At all.

 

[Jedman67]

Yeah, numbers are bad man, they're just, like, evil.

So you came in to bash someone about something you think you may have heard/read? Trekkies get classier and classier everyday.

 

[Kemaiku]

Only zero's.

 

[Jedman67]

Only zero's.

Stop rummaging through my wallet!!

I would, but you have some weird loyalty cards in here, I never knew you liked half this stuff...

Costco Membership is weird?

I would kindly and humbly suggest that the onus is actually on you to provide the source for Abrams' supposed statement, especially if such inflammatory and confrontational conclusions are going to be made on its basis.

What a stupid thing to hate J.J. Abrams for.

Now, I hate him because he wears Nikes instead of Adidas. But I'm not actually sure he wears Nikes; I just think I read that somewhere once.

What a fucking asshole that Abrams guy is for possibly wearing shoes that I hate.

Holy jeebus that escalated quickly.

How to get from the first to the last so quickly - is this a non sequitur? Let us examine...

First part to second part (first half):

I think I saw somewhere once that J.J. said that his movies were the only ones not to use numbers.

Does he not know that "The Next Generation" movies also did not use the numbering system.

Okay, the notion of a numbering system is common to both. That shows some continuity of thought. (I'm pretty sure he's aware that the numbering system didn't figure in the TNG titles, though. Plus, there's the fact that his Trek movies have been at least unofficially numbered 1, 2, 3. So... where were we going with this? Oh, yeah... )

But then:

What an egotistical ass-head to claim that his films were the only ones not to use number.

Okay, still on the numbering idea, sort of, but at this point it really seems to be going off track.

Someone back me up if they've heard or read this somewhere before as well.

Wait, you didn't even bother to check it yourself? I don't know. But wait — let's see what comes next...

I really don't care much for J.J. Abrams.

Hum, we're at the end already. How disappointing. Why am I getting the impression that this was the message all along, and that the business about numbering films could just as easily have been about tribbles or sandwiches, for all the relevance it had to your concluding statement? You could have saved a lot of time (especially everyone else's) by simply writing "I don't like J.J." in your diary and calling it a day.

Oh, well. Since the topic, such as it is, has pretty much been exhausted, and since we're no closer now than we were at the beginning to learning the source of the supposed claim by J.J. Abrams about numbering his films... I guess it's thread closed.
