BOYCOTT THIS FILM!!!

[Jon1701]

If this movie doesn't turn out to be exactly what I envisioned in my brain, I will be boycotting this movie. Every nuance, every inflection must adhere strictly to 42 and a half years of carefully crafted canon.

I'll be assisting my brain by taking along my Star Trek Encylopedia (1995 edition), and a selection of TOS DVD's (without the kewl special effex!!!) which I will play out loud in the movie theatre should I encounter any deviation from established canon. Should I see or hear a canon violation I shall cry:

"Thats a canon violation! Thats a canon violation! Abrams, you childhood-raping son-of-a-bitch!!!"

or words to that effect.

I may even cut out some life size internet smileys and wave them in the air to show my disgust

I urge you all to do the same.

I'm retroactively boycotting all of Star Trek...whatever a "Star Trek" is.

**andy rooney voice** have ya ever looked at the word boycott. I mean, what kind of word is that? Boy and Cott, like, I'm going to take a nap in this flimsy little bed thing while you boys go out and look at the movie.
Boys all over will be staying in their cotts and maybe looking across at each other, getting ideas...

I really want the sliding doors to make that "Swoosh!" sound when they open and close. If they don't have this, then I shall boycott the film.

But then, how will I know whether the doors in the film have the swooshing sound unless I see the film? And then, if I see the film and find out the doors don't have the swooshing sound, then I can't very well boycott the film...because I've already seen it, right?

Oh jeez, I think I might take another vacation from the Bboard....

^Actually, there was a Q&A with the producers/ writers several months back and they confirmed that the doors will "swoosh".

Jon1701: A lot of good questions so far, but I don’t think the key issue has been addressed yet. WILL THE DOORS GO SWOOSH WHEN THEY OPEN?
JJ Abrams: Dude. Will they ever!

 

[USS Kongo]

Well, all right!

Thank you very much. Now all is right in the world with me.

JJ Abrams: Dude. Will they ever!

It's been -- what? 6 or 7 months now -- and I'm STILL jealous that Abrams called you 'dude'

...and not because I'm an 'Abrams lover', but because -- dude -- he's the freakin' director.

What would make you boycott this film?

The guy who created Felicity is directing it. That's pretty much all the reason I need.

 

[Swarles Barkley]

I couldn't boycott this film more on the boycottingest day of my life with an electrified boycotting machine!

Well, the guy who directed Nashville and the film M*A*S*H also directed episodes of Bonanza, Hawaiian Eye and Route 66 early in his career, but I don't hold that against him.

silly. Sci-Fi films are few & far between and even more so Star Trek there's so lets do everyone a favour and try to support this film or it may be the last for a VERY long time. Capiche???

[whispers]My friend... I think the point of this thread is to be facetious -- at least for most of us.[/whispers.

I doubt very much I would avoid seeing the film at least once. However, I may not see it multiple times if the movie does not include the following:

The Starship Enterprise
Captain James T. Kirk
Mr. Spock
Mr. Spock shouting
Dr. McCoy
Dr. McCoy saying, "Dammit Jim!"
Dr. McCoy saying, "I'm a doctor, not a [insert appropriate non-medical profession here]"
Mr. Scott
Mr. Scott saying, "She cannae take any more!"
Mr. Scott saying, "My poor bairns!"
Lt. Uhura
Lt. Uhura wearing a mini-skirt
Mr. Sulu
Mr. Chekov
Mr. Chekov screaming
The Enterprise traveling at warp speed
Someone setting their phasers on stun
Tribbles

A must-have checklist to take into the theater!

But I will be adding:

Dr. McCoy saying (medical scanner whirring), "He's dead, Jim!"

The medical scanners will whir, won't they? Did someone ask JJ?
