Faith of the Heart

oh, oh, can I answer??? While money made doesn't always equate to film quality, XI is a much better film in practically every aspect.

I like what someone said in another thread, that maybe Paramount went mainstream with Trek as a strategy to dispose of all the hard core, canon lovers out there and make trek fandom possible for the average person.

I doubt they did this with that intent, but I hope it is the result.

:p Thanks.

It's interesting that around 80% on this board liked the new movie well enough, STXI is succesful and a box office hit yet those few who don't like it feel the need to open thread after thread just to tell everyone how much they hate it. :rolleyes:

And yet, nowhere near 20% are bash threads. Interesting. Or, you're wrong.
 
^^^ you're not offending me...I thought the "don't shit here" statement and the "piss up a rope" were pretty funny. PLUS, I really don't take most of this that seriously anyway....I like to have fun! LOL I personally attacked you...really? Go back for another read mate. And surely you're not calling me "hater" right? I understand you want to make a general I hate haters statement...but you're not directing that at me right....? And what is the big deal with having a few people disagree with you? I bet there would be more dissent if the "lovers" didn't all decend on the "hater" like a pack of rabid fans.....and If you're so secure in your opinon ...who cares what the haters think!!! No matter if nobody agrees with me I'll still say what I feel...I don't need to be a sheep. And you are acting as if this movie is perfect....that's why I asked you, do you have any complaint about the movie...anything at all...and you didn't answer that.

For the love of all that is good and precious in the world, will you please stop abusing ellipses?

Maybe you aren't familiar with the idiom "thread crapping". It's coming into a thread about something and dropping an irrelevant or inflammatory statement to disrupt the conversation. It has very little to do with excrement; it is a figurative idiom.

I have never once acted or spoken like the movie was perfect, so stop accusing me of doing that.

Your personal attacks are clearly so. In this post alone you have indirectly called me rabid, unable to deal with dissent, and a sheep.

You know what...you're wrong here...I did not indirectly do anything...! I was making general statements...just as you were about the haters...or were you talking specifically about me as I asked you to clarify -- which you still have not...must be the 3rd time i've asked now. I never said you called it a masterpiece..., show me where I said that....I asked you if you thought it was and if there were any room for improvements with the film...you've still not answered.

LOL about your shitting thread explanation...I see my humor just goes right over your head.... LOL explaining that to me...ahhhh that was a good one. Lighten up Fire...I mean really...you're taking this all way too seriously...how's your blood pressure? You are very combative but I'll not be lured into your lair...well at least not before seeing a picture first. :lol:

I'm sorry that your prejudice against ellipses and LOL for the love of god..that was funny too, you're a pretty funny guy when you want to be. ...but I like ellipses and they like me...They like my abuse. I also try to type like I'm actually having a convo and not some carefully crafted bullshit response...translation: I like to keep it real. and let me just say right now since you seem to take things personally...no I don't mean that you carefully craft responses...I'm speaking in general...

Let me say this...If I mean you specifically...I'll say that...
 
and I will see my dream come alive at last...

I will touch the skyyyyy...
 
And they're not gonna hold me down no more...

No they're not gonna change my mind!
 
I don't understand the Kubrick-love. 2001 was artsy-fartsy bullshit, and its influence ruined ST:TMP.

And, I like "Faith of the Heart" by Russell Watson - although I wasn't fond of the remix they used later in the series. There is nothing wrong with a simple song in a classic style, performed well. Not everything has to be an orchestra, or some bleeding-edge genre that would've seemed futuristic then but 10 years later when we'd all be talking about it like it was disco.
