I'll bet that silver tongue gets you laid a lot.
Consistancy and Continuity
- Thread starter xortex
- Start date
I have yet to learn how does metaphysics pertains to consistency and continuity in Abrams' Star Trek. I guess I'm not enlightened.
style over substance. I would like consistancy and continuity make a comeback. I like my cream cheese thick and rich. As I like my star Trek complex and thought provoking but that's just me but I doubt whether it's gonna make a three year old think twice. Kids today are much dumber today than we give them credit for.
And here you are yet again, assuming its gonna be "style over substance" which I find ironic given the guy making it is known for his complex story telling his only fault being he doesn't have the last name "Roddenberry" (or if you're in a giving mood Xortex "Braga")
This whole Abrams is a "fluffybunny storyteller" theme you've been pushing since day one really confounds me given his work speaks otherwise.
That its a given he's directing a movie to first and foremost entertain should be a given - that's why movies exist - not to enlighten. Trek stopped being good when it inverted this notion.

Ah, metaphysics. How many intellectual disciplines have a name that is essentially an afterthought? The title comes from Aristotle's Metaphysics, which was so named because Alexandrian librarians put it after his Physics, hence After Physics or Metaphysics.
Deep. Very deep. Should Star Trek Zero have a metanarrative? On the surface, it's about Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise, but beneath that it had a subtle inner dialogue suggested by lighting and suggestive dialogue, that cryptologists conclude is the following: Abrams likes making money from making movies.
Scandal!

I'm sorry, from what fantasied Olympian height are you evaluating the intelligence of the younger generation?
Some of them can even construct a declarative sentence without repeating a word meaninglessly.
I'm not a kid, BTW - I'm old enough to have watched TOS on the NBC network and there was nothing in your opening post to this topic that I found particularly complex or persuasive - simply poorly thought-out.
Well now, that's saying something. I don't give 'em any credit, and by many accounts, I'm still one of them!
I'm getting some ABC gum!
