Star Trek 4 Hits A Snag

I was very happy with Beyond and ID, conversely the 2009 film is my least favourite.

I really, really want a Tarrantino Trek movie, even if he can't get access to Trek he needs to do something like Trek I want to see it.

I think QT Trek happens as long as QT is interested.. The guy who wrote The Revenant is penning the draft/script, seems big players involved

Personally I am pumped for a QT Trek, he should do a great job - big fan, respect the history. Should be great, IMO
 
What cracks me up is how many websites took it and ran, like Okay we have a producer of no consequence saying we don't need Pine, so it's okay Yall! Like it was JJ himself or something. Riiiight....:wtf:

Speaking of, I'd love JJ's reaction to this...he's probably not a happy camper right now. Went to all the trouble to put together a fantastic cast and Paramount is doing its damnedest to torpedo that to hell.

I don’t understand how Paramount manages to scuttle the success of Star Trek time and time again. Be it through shoddy marketing, bad merchandising deals, terrible cross promotion, unfavorable air times or release dates, and now this stuff.

I have to feel like whenever Star Trek succeeds it’s more in spite of Paramount than because of it.

Anyone would think the way they act they want to kill Trek off rather then grow it.
 
It's a miracle the franchise is still going.
It is, yes. on one hand I'm surprised that Paramount hasn't already gone down the drain, because clearly whoever is in charge there is toxic. Or it could be the policies they have in place since it seems to be an ongoing issue with them. Whatever it is, they need to clean house if they hope to survive long term. I believe the only reason they are still around is because of Trek and I believe I heard someone mention they also have the Transformer movies as far as big name franchise.

Either way, they have serious issues, it's becoming a comedy of errors and mismanagement. Not really knowing the studio culture I'm sure other places have similar issues, but Paramount seems to take the cake so to speak and considering the playing field they want to play on, they need to approach it differently. And it's really a shame, because Star Trek could really be a gem for them if they put in half an effort. How hard is it to think, 'I want to make money like Disney or MCU. Let me look at how they run things.' And that is rhetorical since we all know the answer to that for Paramount. :sigh:
 
We need a crazy Starfleet admiral to run Paramount
Nah she/he might want to invade Disney ala Marcus style
Gee I thought being crazy was a part requirement to be a Starfleet admiral.
It is in the Academy syllabus. Chapter 666 Appendix 13 Paragraph 31

By the end, Kirk is forced to make the choice between him and Scotty and Kirk is not willing (yet) to allow a crew member and a friend to die. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I only know what I can do."
Which IMO makes him a bad captain, he was not qualified to fix that piece of machinery, he is not an engineer. That whole scene had me pissing myself with laughter in the cinema, for me it was too contrived, Kirk and Spock had no great friendship, they barely liked each other. The scene would be more effective if it was McCoy crying his eyes out since Kirk was his best buddy. Or even put Spock back in there with Uhura beating at the glass.

Mileage will vary. It wasn't that they had a great friendship-it's that there was the potential for that friendship and it was taken away. For Spock it was another loss on top of multiple losses.

Frankly, I fail to find the humor in the situation :shrug:

Because you've never watched a Carry on movie :nyah:
