How can you possibly have spent as much time as you have at TrekBBS and never have run across that term before?

Brit slang, from here:
pants (!)
Noun/Adj.
Nonsense, rubbish, bad. From the standard British English of pants, meaning underwear; also a variation on 'knickers'. E.g."The first half was pants but I stayed until the end and it was actually a great film." [1990s]
Feel free to consult any other appropriate reference of your choice and compare answers.
 
^ Like a dunce, it took me a minute to figure out what you'd changed... :lol:



It wasn't meant to be baiting.

Edit: I'd change it but then your post won't make any sense.


I didn't take it as baiting. Waiting for this movie really is giving me gas. :o

Oh, my...
 
I have my doubts about it. I don't like to see Kirk and the others being portrayed by other actors than Shatner, Nimoy etc. and I have my doubts against the whole TOS-recycling idea.

But I will watch the movie before commenting on it.
 
My general feeling: "Hopeful." But I have no idea if it will actually be pants or awesome. Only time will tell.*


*For the record? Awesome. ;)
 
Going on what we know and have seen so far, which is admittedly little, I think it is going to be an enjoyable film.

But hey, I liked Indy IV too :D
 
I can't wait!!! It will be awesome!!! I just cannot help feeling anything short of excited!!!
Hadn't heard of the 'pants' thing either. I guess I just don't live in the 1990's any more. :rommie:
 
In approximately five weeks we'll get our first substantial taste of what this movie's going to look like.

Have you heard news about a trailer, Dennis?

I was thinking it was getting around to the time.
Maybe because of the Comic-Con?

Yep, Comic-Con.

Given the successful roll-out and buzz created for "Iron Man" at last year's Con, Paramount will almost certainly insist upon some kind of trailer or other substantial presentation for Trek this year - whether Abrams would rather wait or not.
 
I'm looking forward to it.

Me too. And as far as Shatner, Kelley, Doohan, Takei, etc, not being part of it, that doesn't bother me at all. I've recently been watching James Cawley's fan series (New Frontier, or whatever it's called.) so I'm used to different actors palying Kirk, etc.
 
I am pumped for it - I say this as someone who saw TOS first run. But then again, as a part-time musician, I enjoy music from all eras too.

Some fresh blood with revitalize Star Trek and it will be cool again (note, NOT "kewl"). What could be better? I am determined to not hate this movie - how can you until you've seen it yourself? New Star Trek: yay!
 
I don't know at this point if I'll love or hate it. But I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Seeing and having had a chance to chat with Zachary Quinto at a recent convention, I gotta say that I'm really starting to see him as Spock. Not that Quinto has completely replaced my Spock mental image of Nimoy, but I'm starting to merge the two. I'm sure this will happen with the rest of the cast as well. I'm very excited for this movie.
