    So a woman changing clothes during a conversation equates to softcore porn in your world? What kind of spastic convulsions did you have when you could see Troi's nipples through her shear nightgown in The Price? :eek:

    Thanks for twisting my words, this is the third correction. 180 million dollars is serious money. If JJ cares about his craft, if he wishes for another story to tell, he needs this movie to be taken seriously by the general public. Thanks again!

    I really see no point discussing the objectification of women in the entertainment industry on a message board that has repeatedly failed to get rid of Babe of the Week threads, the culmination of sexism around here.

    The women here are more than welcome to start a 'Dude of the Week' thread.

    'Dude of the Week' threads were actually attempted a while back, but they died off because of a lack of interest. :lol:

    Fair enough. But the freedom exists to ogle men the same way women are ogled. :techman:

    Somewhere Gene Roddenberry has a huge fucking smile on his face about it.

    Why is it wrong to admire a beautiful person, male or female?

    Fair enough. Say no more.

    Assuming that this is anything other than the excitement of having found an objection that might actually have a chance of winding folks up around here. :lol:

    Co-sign. Let's start giving men anorexia and photoshopping to inescapably small sizes, and see what we think about the blatant "well, they can do it to men, too" bull. Men want what they see in the magazines, and so do women. Having this standard of beauty is killing little girls. But JJ isn't responsible for any of that. He's just feasting on it. Star Trek should be better than that, and it never has been.

    :rolleyes:

    It's really all I got. Of course it's all Hollywood's and men's fault. The parents never factor into the equation of a little girl having a healthy body image.

    Because your girlfriend wants to look like that, can't, and she's going to kill herself trying to look like that. Because the standard of beauty is not realistic. What do I mean? Photoshop. As Cindy Crawford says "I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford, too." Because of how much time and energy goes into each photograph for it to be right. Because women compare themselves to that image, that isn't really what the woman on the cover looks like.

    It takes the thoughts and feelings and worth out of the woman and says "As long as you look like this, you can get whatever you want." That's all that matters.

    Do you ever stop to think: What is she thinking about in that picture? What is the picture trying to tell me? Or are you just glancing over the pretty parts?

    Why are you so interested in how 12 year old boys pleasure themselves?

    If that's not a personal attack, I don't know what is.

    Man, when I was 12 I think that episode aired where Crusher and Troi were doing stretches in spandex. Mmm.

    Wait, what was this thread about again?

    I think we may have moved just a bit off topic here. Perhaps we should start a thread elsewhere in this section to discuss the film and body images?

    I'm guessing I have no idea what I'm talking about because I have a twenty-year old daughter in a healthy relationship and with a healthy body image. She never wanted to be a size 0 because we always taught her to be who she was meant to be and not what someone else wanted her to be.

    Why would I care what someone is thinking in a photo?

    This is actually veering wayyyyy off course. Best to get back to the topic of the movie.

    Set it to self-destruct just after they bail out?
