It's just his signature, he's letting you know he did this.


I'd say "in before the lock" but even with it's lock me title it's not. :confused:


Oh well. Fun all around.


I didn't like what he made with the Star Trek adaption but I am hopeful for the Star Wars continuation, mostly because it's just that, a continuation and not an adaption of an old source that is no longer being made. Well, except for Star Trek Continues.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Star Trek Continues is a fan film, not Star Trek.

Lens flares is why Blade Runner failed when it was first released.

This joke is probably drawing a pension right about now, can we not let it enjoy it's retirement?
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

This shot breaks the fourth wall and takes me right out of the film each time I see it. It's like you're looking at a completely artificial construct and not a real spaceship sweeping in out of a distant sun to save the day.



Damn you Abrams for retroactively forcing George Lucas to sully his film with your cheap parlor tricks.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

Every time I step outside, the sun shines on me and flares the lenses in my eye balls. Takes me right out of my life. What is this bullshit?
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

If the only thing people can find to complain about is lens flares, then I think that's a pretty good sign for the movie. I've never really been bothered by the lens flares in Abrams stuff.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

You do realize lens flares really do happen, watch some NASA video from space. Or watch A New Hope again, when the Falcon comes to help Luke. Lens Flare happens there too. Was that ruined as well?
Lens flare in any film admits there is a camera present, breaking the fourth wall almost as badly as when the camera sees itself in a mirror (or door knob in The Matrix). An exception would be when video is a participant in the movie, such as characters watching a video feed from their own in-scene camera and experiencing lens flares through it..

What about slow-motion effects? Or background music? Or English-language subtitles when Klingon is being spoken?

We're not talking documentary news footage here. We're talking theater. A certain degree of deliberate artifice and poetic license comes with the territory.

It's all smoke and mirrors . . ..

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
 
Re: JJ FUCKED STAR TREK UP AND WILL FUCK UP STAR WARS TOO

I've never understood some people's obsession with not breaking the fourth wall in movies/TV shows. We all know we're watching a story, so I don't see why people can't occasionally have fun with it.

Exactly. Heck, every time you recognize a familiar actor you're being reminded that that you're watching theatrical production, but you just suspend disbelief and go with it, cause that's how movies work.

The first time I saw the original STAR WARS I was not knocked out of the story by the fact that Moff Tarkin looked suspiciously like Doctor Van Helsing. I just thought "Wow. Peter Cushing is in fine form here" and kept watching the movie.

Didn't ruin my ability to get caught up in the narrative at all.

Found these I posted in the old Star Trek 2009 thread.
