ST3 Reportedly Being Filmed in Vancouver in 2016

[USS Intrepid]

I wouldn't slam Doohan, his was fine for what it was, but hardly authentic. Pegg's is pretty good.

My god the dickweeds are restless over on the FB page tonight.

Have you noticed that since we started talking reasonably in those threads (I'm Ryan, BTW, in case the connection wasn't made), they've more or less retreated? Even though Leslie just took a pretty pathetic potshot at poor Wayne.

But I too have a real job and must head to bed.

I'm Bill Jasper on Facebook, in case my user name here is too cryptic to make the connection.

How do you tell when you've been blocked on Facebook? I don't use it very often.

PS... Damn Dennis, I haven't heard someone called dickweed since the '80s. Bravo!

It's better than Picard/Riker slash.

Nothing is better than Picard/Riker slash. Except possibly Data/Worf.

Meh.

I am a fan of Pulaski/Morn slash fiction. Makes for interesting reading.

 

[Mudd]

I keep wanting to chime in about how he probably has more of a connection to "real Trek" than any of them ever will but I figure its better to leave that to Dennis.

I'm a certain kind of asshole. Doing that would make me another kind.

Trying to remember what a Slash is?

You can always tell us TrekBBSers. We utilize reason.

Try to search for the individual. If you can't find them, it's a good indication you've been blocked.

Mental floss. Mental floss!!!

Always classy, Dennis.

Basically it's shipping.

 

[USS Intrepid]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The level of delusion on that page is off the charts.

Suing over false advertising? Where did their lawyer get his degree? Starfleet Academy*?

(*I know it's a fictional place. That's the point.)

 

[Campe]

That must be a Para Mobius statement. I can't see any claims about false advertising.

 

[USS Intrepid]

It is. And on that note I've signed off. There is way too much stupid on that page.

Are you Nick Cook then?

I wish I could. Its like a bad car wreck or reality TV. I just can't turn away!

But I should.

 

[USS Intrepid]

Yeah, that would be me.

That Clement guy really put me in my place. Not.

I am so hooked, that even though my account is blocked I sign in under my wife's account just so I can read the comments.

It's better than 99% of 'reality' TV.

 

[Campe]

So, what's with the lawsuit?

P.S. - I have a new way to fight the more... special... people. I'm just replying "Okay. " After going against them for a long time, I figure it will drive them crazy.

 

[USS Intrepid]

Oh that's some rubbish Para Mobius posted. Apparently he spoke to a lawyer who is already suing Paramount who told him the fans have a case for suing over false advertising.

 

[Mudd]

Guys, I hesitate to give any comfort to those morons, but Drew McWeeny's column at Hitfix discussing the Pegg announcement has a little familiar sounding cautionary stuff in it. He's always been well-sourced on the Bad Robot Trek movies.

 

[Jedi_Master]

So, what's with the lawsuit?

Para misjudged the crowd on that one. He is getting savaged with memes, and comments and even a few people packing up and leaving the group.

Two different actual attorneys have commented on the thread.

Matt Weaver Para, it is that one attorney's opinion that this violates consumer protection laws. There are no absolutes. I'd love for him or her to convince me--or better yet, a judge and/or jury--that a quote in a press release constitutes fraud in advertising.

How many actors have been associated with this long-in-production Steve Jobs bio-pic? Was the production company being fraudulent every time they said so-and-so would star in the movie but ultimately left?

Jeff B. Smith Ok I'm gonna throw all the legal reasons why this won't fly aside. I'm wondering how to calculate damages. If the claim was that people were damaged because they spent money because they were induced by false advertising, after the first showings, and after all b the initial reviews, wouldn't people then know about the "truth" and then decide not to go. I'm not just talking about opening weekend. I'm just talking about those very first preview shows. Theoretically after the word got out about the "false advertising " the only legit plaintiffs are those who saw the first shows.

Matt Weaver I thought the movies were shit. This just isn't actionable

ETA: So Dennis, does that mean that there is a chance that Pegg is not writing the new film?

 

[Campe]

I work in the legal industry. On what grounds?

Its fairly obvious that there is dissent behind the scenes on Trek 3. I could have told you that when Orci was fired/quit/whatever (before I even hooked up with this FB group). There is still a lot of reaching between what Drew says and what Para and Leslie say.

 

[CorporalClegg]

You guys sound like you're having too much fun. I'm jealous.

 

[Mudd]

Of course - just thought I'd mention it. Para's likely to be trumpeting it......although McWeeny is reasonably knowledgeable and therefore may be unknown to him.
