^ Boggles the mind - it really does. Just how absolutely negative people can be based only on rumors and a couple of trailers totaling less than 5 minutes of screentime.
Good grief, lighten up, folks. It's only a MOVIE. Why not at least try to find some enjoyment in something for a change? Because it must be a really grim existence to spend your time worrying, fretting, and complaining about a MOVIE. Especially a MOVIE which hasn't even come out yet and about which we know very little.
I swear...sometimes I think a bunch of you guys WANT to hate this movie. I mean, you REALLY, REALLY want to hate it in the worst possible way. For what reason I cannot even begin to imagine...but you REALLY want to hate it.
And sorry...but I just don't get that. I really don't.
*shakes head in disgust*
Im inclined to agree. Come May, throw down the 10 bucks or whatever the cost of ticket may be, go see the movie, then we can all sit down and discuss it.
Its hardly fair to say the script is crap, or the movie is crap based on a small fraction we have seen of the movie itself via trailers and such. You cant tell me that them skydiving instead of beaming down to the planet is a deal breaker for some of you.
You're right. TREK BBS is only for people who love everything they're seen about this movie despite the fact that they've seen no more then those who don't like what they see.
Why the fuck is their opinions any less valid then yours? Every time someone says something negative about this God's Gift of a movie to everyone, we get ganged up on and ragged on.
It's funny that when someone attacts the movie, it's the poster who gets attacted. How about just saying why you do like the movie?
Because NONE of us have actually seen the movie yet, which is EXACTLY my point.
Why be miserable about something that
hasn't even happened yet?
If you go and see it and hate it, well, come back and talk about it. Then you'll have reason to hate it. But some of these folks who are dead set determined to hate it, based on what little we know so far (and virtually ALL of it out of context, I might add, because MOST trailers take things out of context...or hadn't you ever noticed that?) just don't make sense to me.
They are deliberately choosing to hate something they haven't even seen yet. And by doing this, they are setting themselves up to be hyper-critical and predisposed to hate it, once the movie actually does hit the screen. And in my mind, that's sorta counter-productive to the whole point of a movie, is supposed to be about 'fun' and 'entertainment'.
TrekBBS is NOT just for the people who like everything about Trek. Get me talking about TNG or ENT and you will quickly discover that I by no means 'like' everything about Star Trek. In fact, I think some parts are outright lame. And some parts (I'm thinking
Nemisis, here) are downright embarassing, they are so lame.
But at least I took the time to actually SEE them first (in most cases, a few times, in fact) before I decided I disliked certain parts. I gave them a good college try CHANCE. Shit, I watched a season and a half of ENT before I shut the damn thing off.
But some of the folks around here? They are just positive they are gonna hate this film. And based on what we have seen so far, I just think it's WAY too early to judge. And the thing is that it's really to their own detriment, all of this predisposition toward hatred, because in the end, the only ones they are hurting with this attitude are themselves. They are just sucking any potential joy they might recieve from this film otherwise right out of the thing.
And it's really kinda sad to watch. At least it is for me.
