Seriously, wouldn't Simon Pegg look more authentic with a Scotty wig?

Re: Seriously, wouldn't Simon Pegg look more authentic with a Scotty w

Okay, Shatner's logged more hours as Kirk than Connery as Bond. They were both like 40 years ago and are now so entrenched in the zeitgeist that your average person isn't counting. I know I'm not, anyway. If that kind of math is what you're preoccupied with then yeah, this casting probably would piss you off.

You don't get it...bond casting does not piss me off, they did not wait over 40 years to recast, with Kirk they did. got it?

I can assure you I got it in the first place, man.

I'm saying it doesn't matter how long they took to recast Kirk. One performance isn't more immune to recasting than the other. But if stuff like that does matter to you, then recasting Kirk's probably going to piss you off.

Did you?

Yeah it kind of does matter with regards to recasting, look at all the flack the Indiana Jones news (rumors) gets anytime there is news of someone else playing the part. If they wanted to do that, they should have done that years ago, not anymore.

Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I don't get the point you're making.

Re-casting Indy wouldn't be my first choice, but if they did it all I'd hope for is a good movie to go with it. Same as Trek, Bond or anything else. Bottom line is I just want to be entertained.

If that means stepping on someone's hallowed notion of who that character is portrayed by then so be it.

Didn't GR get all worked up by the possibility of getting Robert Redford to play Kirk in the TMP or is that an urban myth?

He's playing Scotty not Jimmy Doohan.

I was not saying that at...all

Anyway, there is also the point with the original crew having a good ending, now it is mucked up.

Okay then, I guess I don't know what you're trying to say. Not sure it's my fault though...

My TUC DVDs haven't vanished yet, so I guess Nero's meddling with time can't be that pervasive.

Good ending? Falling off a bridge?

The original crew as a whole, Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country

Though, I do like Star Trek Generations alot, good ending for Kirk

People say no one ever dies in Star Trek, of the main crew, and yet when it happens, people don't like it

I am sure people would not like it if someone continued to right Poirot books, even though the character is dead (though I have no idea if more books have been written)

With Sherlock Holmes, do people actually like the continue adventures of the stories with Holmes' maid?

They could kill them all for all I care, it's not real - however, I do reserve the right to ask for an interesting death.

It is, unfortunately for your argument, set during a point where Kirk is very much alive.

Yeah, but that's not germane to the discussion because you won't be seeing Kirk there.

Where were you going with this again?

The recasting and mucking up the final film

Re: Seriously, wouldn't Simon Pegg look more authentic with a Scotty w

Yeah but since the bulk of this is set before TUC and in all likelihood a different timeline to boot, how does it muck anything up?

Sorry, but Star Trek 6 is a really bad movie.

The sweeping, general nature of that comment notwithstanding, a sequel or prequel can suck in and of itself but how does it do anything to the source material?

Does Rocky suck because Rocky V sucked?
