HOORAY! Honestly, I like the engineering set, but I realize they were short on cash with that particular set.

Looks like we're getting an engineering set!

* I'd open a cask to that!

Quotes, man... links, man... I need to know... I need my fix, man...

He might just be assuming since the reason Engineering looked like it did was to save money. This time there may be room for a new Engineering since most the other sets are already built.

i didnt mind it either.

though they could just say the all the bulk heads had not been delievered yet.

the tubes ect could fit in if one thinks about certain aspects of the
tos engineering but it would make sense it is more subdivided into different sections instead of being so wide open.

oh yeah i want my dvd now.
and if paramount wants a test audience ..
me

I understand the criticisms of the Engineering section and the budgetary reasons for it... but, I really liked it compared to the 'lava lamps' of TNG era ships. I hope they tweak it, rather than replace it completely.

 

[Amaris]

^ Agreed to the both of you.

Perhaps have Bud on tap in the break room...

^ Now THAT's how you advertise.

I didn't mind some of the engineering sets, but I thought the room where Kirk finds Uhura was absolutely horrible and completely stupid looking....let's shine lights on giant brewery containers and call it a linguistic area.

 

[Amaris]

Ah, that. Yeah, at first I thought it was Engineering.

[RAMA]

Who mentioned building an engineering set??

Oh and congrats to st reaching another milestone.

Have to wait until Tuesday.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Holy moly, those totals are phenomenal.

I thought that was part of Engineering too, not a "linguistic area"

350 million ?

Meh...If it doesn't make 3x or 4x it's budget in the US alone this one is a FLOP folks.
Don't kid yourselves.



Oh, can I quote this again ? I love it

Opening day/night will be the ONLY time this film makes any money of any respect. Otherwise, it'll make Paul Blart look like Dark Knight.

Nobody of any number is gonna go see this thing. Opening day/night, all the Trek fans will be lined up, clinging to the hope that somehow they'll be able to save this thing, but otherwise, it'll be a royal floppa-roppa.

Every time I've been in a theater where the trailers for Trek have been shown, the audience reactions range from light chuckles, to laughter, to outright groans. People who like Trek will see this thing. Other people will not.

Think about it... if someone has already had 40+ years to get into Trek, and never did, what could possibly make them want to see this? They're just not into Trek. Nothing will change their mind... for them, they like movies with raw, mindless, action, where lots of things go KA-BOOM, with hot cars, and hot women... in other words, movies like Transformers. For this audience, Trek is a series loved by chess-club geeks, who give strange hand signals... and they won't change their mind about it... if they could, they would have done so with ENT or one of the more recent films.

But, if they (Paramount) need to see the dismal box office returns to show them the grim reality, then so be it. Trek better hope to god no other movie opens the same day, otherwise the OTHER film will be the one that rakes in money.

 

[Jeri]

Whoa, that is embarrassing.

 

[Borgminister]

Maybe that was from the MIrror Universe?

 

[Squiggy]

There is so much fail in that thread.

 

[Borgminister]

It is the fail that keeps on giving, as it were.

Oh dear, talk about coming back to bite you in the ass.
