Lets hope Paramount leaves as LONG AS THEY CAN I.D. in cinemas just to prove a point. After all it's the second best rated movie this summer (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/summer-movie-scorecard-2013/)

I always thought it looked flat and washed out. Super 35 is kind of bargain basement film in a way(or used to be) it's a money saver, and it has to be blown up to be shown on widescreen. On TV its less of a problem but I just think the depth of field is off compared to cinemascope.

Do you mean there's too much depth-of-field? Because the main point of S35 is to be able to use spherical lenses instead of anamorphic. You don't need as much light to get an exposure, and if you're shooting close to wide open, your image is still acceptable, whereas anamorphic wide open just breaks down.
But Cinemascope's been dead as a format since...what...1967?
I remember seeing examples in behind-the-scenes footage of cameras being shaken, but I can't recall anything which would have led me to think that the cameras suffered any damage as a result.
According to Wikipedia,

In 2012, a Brazilian film director used Cinemascope for his film.

As a then "newbie fan", people told me this about ST:TMP all through 1980 and 1981. I eventually caught up with all the TOS and TAS I had missed since the 60s. Never changed my opinion of TMP one iota. Still love TMP!
That's fantastic. I'm sick of young Clark Kent on a farm over and over.
Farms are boring. Enough already.
I doubt you'd be saying that had the sequel to Superman Returns been made. The rough summary about it was released a few years ago. Superman would've fought Brainiac. This after Brainiac fixed all the world's problems and had the world turn on Superman for never doing so. The big finale would be Brainiac transferring his mind in to Superman's super son and Superman being forced to kill his own child to save the planet.
ENOUGH WITH THE CHRIST ALLEGORIES IN SUPERMAN ALREADY. Superman Returns had enough of them.
Sorry, ain't happenin' on this planet.
Why should I care whether JJTrek brings more fans to oldTrek? Star Trek is neither a religion nor an insurance pool.

"No." - the overwhelmingly vast majority of those who watched the Abrams Trek films (as witnessed by word of mouth polls and critical response to each one)

But the good news is - you may now have a shot at loosing your virginity.

We're all familiar with "The Tale of Boy Therin and Star Trek: The Motion Picture," thank you. In this forum alone, you must have told it more than a hundred times; I don't doubt that some here are now able to repeat it from memory and I hope that they're not also haunted by it when they sleep. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to give that story a rest for a bit?
