Anyone care to place a bet against me that that picture posted above 'is' or 'isn't' the new Enterprise?

Matt... who cares about a shot of some stupid CGI Enterprise, get us some candid shots of Jennifer Morrison, Zoe Saldana, Rachel Nichols, or even Winona Ryder in various states of undress.

Then we'll believe you're close to the production.

Hey, Matt. You're naked!

I've Got Real Cell Phone Pictures!

Forget this guy - I've got the real deal, from my cell phone:

As you can see, the design is much closer to the TMP Refit than previously reported. It appears to be encountering some sort of crystalline or needled entity, perhaps near a nebula.

^I think that's from the scene where

Spoiler: Spoiler for Trek XI

Q shrinks the ship down and hides them on Christmas tree.

It's Abram's homage to Voyager, which, as we know, is his favorite Trek series.

I'd bid 5 Linden.
And not a Linden more!

Bin Laden? He's pretty valuable, isn't he? If you've got five of him, I'll get a pic for you definitely.

Now, Matt, you're being silly. Everyone knows nobody's got a bin Laden.

"Needled entity." If I'd been drinking milk just now, it would've come out of my nose.

Yeah, last I heard he was just some guy the CIA paid to make a few appearances before sending him off to some desert island retirement.

ANYWAY, are there any serious inquiries for a pic of the Enterprise? I mean, a guy has to make a living.

How do we even know you have something that's for real, and not a scam attempt?

Dude, he has nothing. And it's not a scam attempt either because he's not even going to take your money. He just wants you to believe he's somehow involved with the production.

So, in a sense, it's even lamer than a scam attempt. He's like a snake oil salesman who doesn't even really have the snake oil to sell you. He just wants you to believe that he has snake oil. Even if you beg him for the snake oil, he won't give it to you because he doesn't have it.

So just tell him that you believe he is involved in the production and you will make his whole day.

Next!

I never said or implied that I'm affiliated with Bad Robot or ILM. I also never said or implied that I have said photo.

So the purpose of this thread is...?

(And, yes, you have implied many times, in many different threads, that you have insider information. You have also never backed up any of your claims with anything. Which is unfortunate, really, because I actually find your posts entertaining when you aren't doing the "carrot on a string" act in this forum. But, hey, whatever turns you on.)

Re: How much would you pay for a cellphone pic of the Enterp

I've never implied that I'm an insider. I've never implied that I'm not an insider. I've never impled that I'm an outsider. I've never implied that I'm not an outsider. I've never implied that I'm apple cider. I've never implied that I'm not apple cider. I've never implied that I watched Sliders. I've never implied that I didn't watch Sliders. I've never implied that I like spiders. I've never implied that I do not like spiders.

Re: How much would you pay for a cellphone pic of the Enterp

To be fair to Matt, I think there's as much inferring going on on our part as there is implying on his. He has made several sweeping, absolute statements as though they were fact without ever actually having said he has inside information. I believe he wants us to infer that he is an insider, but I think we have, rather, correctly inferred that he is a guy who wants us to think he is an insider.

He's just another Trek fan posting what he believes will be the case... the difference is he uses very self-assured, cocky language and adopts an air of absolute authority when he posts. But I think he's just a regular joe who's as likely to be wrong about the new film as the rest of us. Just another guy playing word/mind games on a BBS...

Matt, I think it's safe to say that no one wants to bid on the cell phone pic you may or may not have because we don't believe you have it. As far as the question in your OP, the answer is: $0.00. We are all sophisticated enough to know that any leaked information like sneaked photos of the ship will break on the internet for free. Someone who actually had that pic wouldn't be able to resist sharing the news and garnering the (mostly meaningless) glory and adulation of his fellow posters. In short, if you really had it, you'd've splashed it already.

Of course you did.

And it could not be more obvious that you are not.

And that's all I have to say on that subject.
