Chasing Skirts

[RobertScorpio]

I think JJ's strategy is very shrewed..and it will work, IMO...

Most people think he is going after that male 13-49 demo, but really he isn't. He knows teenager boys will see this movie no matter what...He is aiming this movie, with its 'hunk men' and 'romantic' angles, and its Tom Cruise/Maverick-Top Gun star, Kirk, at teenage girls....and I think the he has decided, as has paramount, that the success of this movie series needs to pull in females...

I can still remember when I saw the Dreadful "NEMESIS" when it came out...it was opening day, 2pm, and there were 24 people in the theatre...24?????..and guess what? They were all men. Heck, some of them looked so much alike, I felt I was at a family reunion...but no women at all....DORKFEST with a capital "D".....and this was on opening day at 2pm....

Star Trek will not survive if it only appeals to that crowd. It has to branch out and pull in more minorities, and women....I hope Uhura/Sulu are just more than eye-candy and actually do something....

So...Now only will Captain Kirk chase skirts, so will JJ Abrams...

I think the mods will be chasing you for a double-post of the same topic...
