How Cinematic Are the Star Trek Movies?

[A Little Otter]

Why did you put "article" in quotation marks? Do you not think that it's an article?

Just because of how Sojourner thought it came from a blog. Usually articles will come from news sites or review sites or the like. But it can easily go either way.

Um, it is a blog. What do you think wordpress does?

From dictionary.com:

blog - noun
a Web site containing the writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other Web sites.


article - noun
a written composition in prose, usually nonfiction, on a specific topic, forming an independent part of a book or other publication, as a newspaper or magazine.

According to these definitions, the website is the blog while the piece that I linked is an article. If it was written on paper, it would be an article as part of a magazine or some other kind of publication. Regardless of its form, it's still an article.

Crowds respond to movies that work as cinematic pieces by paying at the box office. TMP, TWOK, TSFS, TVH, TUC, GEN, FC and Trek '09 were a successes because people were willing to pay to see them in the cinema, making them 'cinematic' by public consensus.

They resoundingly rejected TFF, INS and NEM. They were deemed not worthy to pay for and watch in a cinema.

That doesn't quite work. A movie isn't 'cinematic' because people like the move or not cinematic because they don't like the movie. There are a lot of movies that started out in film not on TV. If the public doesn't like it doesn't mean it is now a TV show.

Actually you are wrong...http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cinematic

see #1. The public decides what is 'suggestive of, or suitable' for motion pictures or the filming of motion pictures.

In philosophy there is a concept known as the General Will, and if the masses deem something suitable or more evocative of TV, or at least not worthy of a trip to the movie theatre and don't go to the CINEMA to see it, you could say those films are less cinematic.

Read your definition again. The definition of the word cinematic has nothing to do with the audience.

of, relating to, suggestive of, or suitable for motion pictures or the filming of motion pictures

I think you are applying people to the equation when you shouldn't be. Perhaps you need to look elsewhere if you want to find ways to discover why people like certain movies and don't like others. From what I have read, the word Cinematic isn't it.
