I'm afraid it was more than the liberal elite. These comments have been available to the public for 15 years. Not just now. Nobody bat an eyelid back then nor in all this time. When the Hollywood elite gave a standing ovation to Polanski for the Pianist when he wasn't there who the fuck said anything about it? Millions of people watched it.
None of this is new. The only thing new here is that it's relevant now and it's part of the media's take down of Tarantino. They'll find more stuff to dig up before they move onto the next person.

It is almost like Hollywood, the media and people around here and on social media are acting hypocritical for keeping their mouths shut (at best) or for applauding with the elites (at worst) only to condemn the likes of Polanski and Singer and Weinstein and Spacey now when it makes them look "good" and "moral".

I didn't take it personally, I just appreciated your perspective and it got me thinking. ☺

It is almost like — but one page/one day ago — I was reminding everyone that they should make an effort to avoid taking swipes at other posters.

Or was I merely imagining that?

Disappointed by Hollywood. Again.

And again and again.

And again and again and again.

Hollywood does suck, but they've given us so much! Great movies like Transformers, Mitchel, and The Wizard. Quality television like Stacked, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and that season of the Smurfs that involved time travel some how. Also, lest we forget, Hollywood helped gift us our wonderful President, Donald J. Trump.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna run my television over with a Jeep.

Don't blame Hollywood for Trump, blame Dems for rigging primary n Clinton on other side. Virtually ANYONE else n different result

Not a fan of either

I don't want to get too deeply political, but you have to admit Hollywood helped Trump by airing The Apprentice. Remove that boost to his public image and I doubt he'd be President . Obviously there are other factors, but I think this is a rationale observation regardless of politics.

I'd really rather you didn't.

Even stretching things to the limit, the bits I've emphasized in the first two posts quoted above have nothing whatsoever to do with Star Trek, so let's leave that sort of thing for other forums more appropriate to such topics, shall we?

I'm not watching it anyway. Honestly, I found it useless as a movie to make even before the recent news about 'problematic Tarantino' spread. Can't say I'm surprised by hollywood not having an ounce of integrity because it is nothing new.

neverthless, that they let him, still, do things that are his favored genre isn't so crazy. Good for him that he gets the opportunity, I guess. The question, for me, is whether I have to be happy about him putting his hands on this trek when, from every possible perspective and angle I try to look at it from, he makes (and his writer) zero sense as a choice. I have a hard time, honestly, understanding what he'd even like in trek to want to subject himself to the torture of directing a movie about it.. unless he truly wants to alter it too to make it look like one of his other movies, and of that I can't be happy.

Isn't Star Trek supposed to have a broad appeal for everyone, in some way? Why is it so hard to imagine someone liking Trek, much less liking it enough to direct a film about it?

not talking about someone or in general, but Tarantino. I can totally see someone like him liking in trek the same things that you can find in a million of other things such as the dudebro stuff, the Luke Skywalker/Han Solo kind of male protagonist and badass action scenes, but I struggle to imagine him getting, let alone liking, some of the core aspects that are part of trek's appeal to many and that people would reasonably expect a director in this franchise to at least respect a bit, if not like and be inspired by, especially for a movie that supposedly is a sequel of other 3 movies thus a story and characters already established (unlike his movies where for the most part it's his own story and characters). His style and the stuff he's fond of doesn't mix with trek and its hopeful messages well IMO and so far, I get more hints (r rating rumor, the writer supposedly hired) that he wants to 'fix' this trek by altering it and turning it into another of his movies thus the thing he likes to do, rather than challenging himself with something completely different (thus adapt himself to this franchise to respect its integrity). That's why 'it's hard to imagine' for me.
I could see someone like Guillermo del Toro, for example, be inspired by trek more than Tarantino.

I was unsure about him before because of the puzzling stuff he already said about the reboot too (mainly his obliviousness about the fact it's another reality and what that even means) and his not-so-original ideas for a remake, the rumor about the R rating and the writer they supposedly hired.. but after reading the most recent news about him I really don't feel like supporting this guy, even less have hopes about him. He has issues.
Again, there are many talented directors they could hire, we don't need Tarantino and his style at any cost. Paramount&co can do better (but they won't because they don't get it and at this point I feel like they never will and they may be purposedly trying to sabotage their thing )

I run in to people who like things I wouldn't expect all the time. So, it doesn't surprise me in the least.

Let’s not forget that he’s in his early 50s, that’s the sweet spot for watching the original Star Trek as a kid. I’m a contemporary of his all of my classmates and I really liked it because it was pretty much the only game in sci-fi town until 1977.

Urban on Tarantino Trek

[Malaika]

In no news, actors say they'd like to get more work (but they don't know if they will at this point)

I dunno if he read Tarantino's old interview about the reboot where he said that the ensemble was more or less a hindrance, and he included Mccoy in the list of secondary characters it's unfortunate to have to give something to do.
After the whining moment Urban pulled for Beyond (or more like, his whining about the other movies), I doubt he's in for a cameo but who knows.

With Ready Player One being potentially a low-point in his career, I wonder what Steven Spielberg might do directing a Star Trek movie.

And don't say: take the crew underwater, with a talking dolphin and then have Shatner turn up as a war criminal in a bad 'tache.
