Should Star Trek XI be pushed back another 92 years?

[Samuel T. Cogley]

...in order for Paramount to release the movie on 1/7/01?

I mean, how cool would that be?

I feel like I have already been waiting forever. What's another 92 years?

 

[EyalM]

Yes.

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

Yes.

I knew it.

Won't it seem a little out of date thirty-eight years after First Contact?

Good point. I bet that's the main reason that they decided to release it now, instead of waiting 92 years. Good reason.

That, and Abrams would be long dead by then. Which he'll probably wish he was anyway if he reads these boards after the movie comes out.

Sam, Sam, Sam... you're forgetting about the fact that Abrams obviously has a time machine... so he can release it now, and also do a Lucas-style "revised edition" (complete with a CGI Nurse Chap-Chap) and release it on that date!

Man, I'm surprised you missed that. Sheesh!

Sweet.

Should we start a countdown thread in this forum?

It's only like 33,710 days away!

And unless we learn to prolong the median life expectancy of humans by about 40-60 years, I'm thinking... I might just miss that release date. Perhaps my great-grandchildren will attend in my honor?

I should put that in my will...

Paramount should consider this. It's one way to duck serious competition in 2009 (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Transformers 2 and Watchmen).

Its forward thinking like this that will make the new Star Trek movie A HIT...in 92 years time.

I think we need to start one of those online petitions that no-one really reads.

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

I think we need to start one of those online petitions that no-one really reads.

Just think of how many signatures we could collect in 92 years! It's tempting.

Who's the youngest member of the board? Let's give the the responsibility for the petition to that person and hope they're still alive when it's time to deliver it.

Or, as Hudson would say, "Why don't we put her in charge?"

 

[Jon1701]

It could be like BTTF part 2.

"JJ Abrams Junior Junior? Are you JJ Abrams Junior Junior? I had a bet with the guys at the office that you wouldn't show up. You see, we've had that online petition in our possesion for the last 92 years..."

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

Let's not forget that if we don't account for inflation, Star Trek XI will likely gross far more money in 92 years than it would if it was released now.

Sort of like how "The Dark Knight" eclipsed "Star Wars: A New Hope" in total dollars, despite selling far less tickets.

I don't know why those idiot bean-counters at Paramount don't think of these things.

The obvious choice is to put this film on the shelf and then wait 92 years to release it.

Idiots.

 

[Jon1701]

And don't forget the hype.

92 years worth of hype and the anticipation will surely become part of every day life. Everyone will aspire to see this movie, and I mean everyone. It will be the stuff of myth and legend. Even those untouched tribes of south america will want to see it.

Of course, in 2101 those untouched tribes will all live in robot houses, and hunt their prey on hoverboards using laser-guided electromagnetic duo-tronic spears - but I think my point still stands.

I've removed cock, copraphagia, and black-face as trolling tags Sam.
Please don't abuse the tag feature.
Otherwise we can't have nice things in the future.

I'm shocked that I've already offended someone again so soon!

In that case, you will definitely need to remove "a little cogless please" and "dude ain't funny anymore", as those tags were clearly intended to troll me directly, as opposed to the randomly obnoxious words I chose, which were meant to be humorous and outrageous, while not trolling anyone specifically or directly.

Strange that I should have to explain that.

Could throw it out as a Galaxy Quest-style "historical document".

Don't argue, ok? Not everything needs to be a huge ass conspiracy.
I can guarantee you that the board owners aren't going to want those words on the front page tag cloud. That's it. There is no other explanation and nothing else needs to be removed as a tag.

I WANT TO SEE THAT!

Dammit, I want to cryogenically freeze myself so I CAN HAVE A DUO-TRONIC SPEAR OF MY VERY OWN after the cyber-doctors re-confoobulate my existence in the Podule Of Medical Science where my frozen form will have lain dormant during the Interim Of Nasty Wars That Nearly Destroy Humanity.

(Anyone who mentions Episode one of Futurama gets a withering glare and a hot soup enema).

Got it. Open season on Cogley.

Fair enough.
