Star Trek Crosses $350 Million Worldwide

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.

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

It wouldn't make any sense for Uhura to be in engineering. At least in the novelization, its supposed to be a communications monitoring station. In the movie, there's a lot of chatter going on, so that seems like what it is supposed to be in the film as well.

350 million? That settles it - these guys don't have a clue what they're doing.

Either that or the public doesn't know first-class entertainment when they see it . . . or don't.

Nor 95% of film critics. Only people who hate this movie know anything.

Child, the audience is always right.

Remember that.

I believe you are mistaken for Captain Robau, who even when wrong was right.

One time he misspelled the word "failure" in a spelling bee and still won. The reason he misspelled the word? It's a word he hasn't encountered very much.

Exactly so.

And I'm with Squiggy - the likelihood that a small minority of disgruntled Trek fans "know first-class entertainment" and the whole rest of the world does not is vanishingly small. It's an idiotic conceit.

wrong thread

It's never the wrong thread for Robau.

Ah, yes, but remember:

- in 1997 the most successful movie of all time, Titanic, was released.
- A lot of folks on the Internet don't like Titanic (mainly, it seems to be the kissing and stuff).

Therefore: if you have no argument to make, just post the sentence "Oh yeah, well a lot of people liked Titanic, too!" It's a sort of aethestic/intellectual "get out of jail free" card that's supposed to shortcircuit everyone's analytical skills.

 

[Squiggy]

I like Titanic and I'm no longer afraid to admit it.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Kate Winslet's tits. What's not to like?

 

[Squiggy]

You're a poet and a gentleman.

 

[Borgminister]

Okay, my dislike of DeCaprio or Kate's tits... which do I go with...

OK, I'll google that scene...

That's what the kids are calling it these days?

That's what the kids are calling it these days?

That's one snappy current slang term for it. "Bailing out Lehman Brothers" is another.
