Part 2 tomorrow apparently.

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

Fifty bucks says that this:

But I can't make this movie for readers of Nacelles Monthly who are only concerned with what the ship's engines look like. They're going to find something they hate no matter what I do.

...will become Starship Polaris' new signature in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Is that what he said? The first place I saw the interview had it as "Maysells Monthy" and I was trying to figure out what the hell that was.

He should know better - he's just going to get a whole bunch of emails from fans demanding to know how they can subscribe.

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

I think I could write for it, at this point. I've certainly done enough reading on the topic.

Hell, I was kind of stuck on what to do for next month's Jaynz. I think "Nacelles Monthly" would work brilliantly.

 

[Garibaldi O'brien]

I was just about to post a thread on this interview, based entirely on JJ's " I can't make this movie for readers of Nacelles Monthly" statement.

The man knows us.
/likes a nice pair of nacelles.

Is there really enough continuous nacelle gossip to fill a magazine every month?

I feel like it would likely be "Nacelles Quarterly".

 

[That Weirdo In The Corner]

I feel like it would likely be "Nacelles Quarterly".

as long as they keep the fold-out centrefold picture

It could be the Bussard of the Month!

But I can't make this movie for readers of Trekbbs who are only concerned with what the ship's engines look like. They're going to find something they hate no matter what I do.

Fixed that for you.

Fixed that for you.

Can you imagine all the exploding heads here, if he had actually said this?

I think it'd be the greatest thing he's ever said!

 

[ThunderAeroI]

Can you think of the questions they would ask the Bussard Collector in the foldout attachment.

Turnons: Hydrogen

Turnoffs: Night Terrors

School: Gordies Cheating Wife

 

[Hartzilla2007]

Um I hope that some fans won't take it into the bathroom for certain acts that will not be named due to a sense of decency.

 

[The Doctor]

What sense of decency would that be, exactly?

 

[Garth Rockett]

I choose to interpret this quote to mean JJ's been following the Blue Warp Nacelles thread in this very forum.

Darn it.. Darn spelling errors. Yeah I will never forgive Lea Brams... or whatever shes using for a last name now. I mean seriously Gordie's a stalker when it comes down to it.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

In all the press materials JJ and Co. seem really nervous, defensive and self-conscious about this movie. I'd be more comfortable if he just really embraced it whether I agree with all he did or not.
