Quentin Tarantino confirms his Star Trek movie will be R-rated, full of profanity.
- Thread starter The Rock
- Start date
Wagner was an antisemite and a horrible person in general (he would sleep with the wives of his benefactors) but he composed the best music ever. It would be a terrible loss for humankind if we stopped listening to his music because of what he was.
I did say that I thought he was a cock
Just to clarify, I'm not saying he's a terrible person (I have no information on him personally, except what happened with Uma Thurman, which is indeed totally unacceptable) or even that his movies are terrible things that shouldn't exist. I think they work for what they are and I don't think what they are is automatically bad or unacceptable.
It's just the idea of putting on a Star Trek movie and seeing something like the Hateful Eight or Inglorious Basterds with Vulcans and Klingons is rather like ordering an Ice Cream Sundae and being served a sauerkraut salad in the shape of an ice cream sundae. It could be the greatest sauerkraut salad in history, but it wouldn't be a good experience at all.
While I've enjoyed Tarantino's movies, I'm uneasy of Trek going from "first female Trek movie director" (SJ Clarkson, for the aborted ST4) to a guy getting #MeToo heat from some of his former stars.
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?
Uma Thurman stopped working on Quentin Tarantino's movies for a reason. She was treated horribly. I have to separate the creator from the product.
We all do to an extent. We're here posting on a board about Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry was pretty messed up.

Well, if we were to exclude all the creators who are/were alcoholic, terrible persons, junkies, racists, and whatnot. There wouldn't be much left.

I may have mentioned that once or twice
His films are over rated in my opinion, but I think it would be funny to see Tarantino Trek, just for the fucking hell of it
It's not like he gets carte blanche to do whatever he wants. Given the money Paramount will likely be sinking in to it a producer will be there to give green lights.
Doesn't apply in the court of public opinion.
She didn't want to film a driving scene for Kill Bill because she wasn't comfortable with the safety of the car. He talked her into it despite knowing that the location had been changed at the last minute and no one had actually checked the new road to see if it would really be safe. She crashed and nearly died.
Except every news story so far seems to point to him doing his normal style and none of us actually knows that Paramount doesn't want him to do his normal style. The fact that they're interested in him at all is clearly for his name recognition and popularity. If they want him to reinvigorate their movie franchise, then they may very well want him to do something radically different that will make people sit up and take notice.
Hell, it might even work and be great for Paramount's coffers, even if it isn't necessarily great for Star Trek (IMO).

That's fair. But, they still will have a someone there stating the studio's interests.
'Get these motherfucking Pah-wraiths off my motherfucking station'
If Uma ever got cast as Kira I'd want her to go on a one woman rampage of revenge against Dukat.

That's the spirit!
"Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese on Qo'noS?"
I think the federation uses the metric system.
Correct, so the full scene will go like this:
DECKER: You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese on Qo'noS?
MITCHELL: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
DECKER: No, man, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
MITCHELL: What'd they call it?
DECKER: They call it ta' with nIm wIb ngogh
MITCHELL: What'd they call a Big Mac?
DECKER: Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it ghu'vam Big Mac.
MITCHELL: [repeating] "ghu'vam Big Mac". What do they call a Whopper?
DECKER: I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger King. You know what they put on french fries on Praxis instead of ketchup?
MITCHELL: What?
DECKER: The blood of those they defeated in battle.
MITCHELL: Goddamn!
