He was one of six screenwriters so who knows what's his and what isn't.
Good freaking lord: the movie

Yup.
But not to go too far overboard. I had high hopes when the project was announced. Here, maybe, was to be a MOVIE, like, with movie STARS. And movie WRITERS.
The blockbuster budget remains, but the creative talent seems to increasingly be drawn from a very, very small pool of TV pals.
What's next? Ex-girlfriends? (Oh, wait, she already turned the part down. Really -- look it up.)

The movie will be huge. It will be the next Pirates of the Carribean. (Popularity wise) Everyone will go see it again and again, and all the people who doubted will say "You know what? That was awesome! Let's go see it again!" That's what I predict anyway. This will start after the first teaser.

It just goes to demonstrate that Hollywood is fully committed to equal opportunity employment, even when it comes to hiring purblind anencephalics...
...as production illustrators for modern sci-fi films. It won't be a problem, of course, as I am sure that IATSE rules mandate that studios supply the necessary respirators, bibs and diapers for the duration of the shoot.

Jesus, that's cruel! :thumbsup:

I agree. :thumbsup:
Oh wait...I'm a Trekker...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Its Sucks!!!!! It hasn't been filmed yet, but it SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKS!"
Oh wait, how can a film that hasn't been filmed yet have a track record!?

Ah, nobody has a sense of humour anymore.
I was simply using an obvious, if hyperbolic, example of something that was popular but not good. Obviously there are a few fallacies, not least of which is equating artistic good to moral good (which, as my good friend and fellow countryman Oscar Wilde instructs, are not the same thing), but I think it got the point across clear enough.
I don't know if Abrams is a good person or not. I really don't care - I'm dubious as to whether his movie will be good.

Oh, good, now we are equating the popularity of the production crew of ST11 with that of fascist regimes. That's keeping things well in perspective, winking eye and all.
Fine. I don't have to equate JJ with fascist leaders to say that I think his work is crap. I've seen his work and can therefore form the opinion without hyperbole.
