Movie Delay

Redshirt · 03-15-2008, 12:35 PM

The new Star Trek movie has been delayed till May of '09 because of the writers strike.

**Valigarmander** · 03-15-2008, 12:36 PM

They're making a new Star Trek movie?

Redshirt · 03-15-2008, 12:39 PM

Yes, they have been for some time now.

Boo. They need to unmake a few Star Trek movies before they start making new ones. Start with 'Nemesis' and 'Insurrection'.

Oh, and the idea of anyone other than Shatner playing Kirk is practically dripping with fail.

Redshirt · 03-17-2008, 03:08 PM

What's wrong with Nemesis? Insurrection I can understand.

***Booyakasha*** · 03-17-2008, 04:56 PM

Spoiler Below

Data dies. Data sings. Sex scene between Troi and Riker = yuck. Romulan politics = yawn. Picard clone sucks. Federation all-terrain vehicle is about as dumb as it gets. The Enterprise rams an enemy ship.

Doesn't sound like much, but bear in mind it's been a few years--I'm probably forgetting a lot of stupid, stupid crap.

Robotazy · 03-17-2008, 05:52 PM

Delays?

It will be like Brawl.

Soon, it shall have several Topics in the Things that Suck Forum.

Also, what's wrong with the Spoiler Below

Enterprise ramming an enemy ship?

***Booyakasha*** · 03-17-2008, 05:58 PM

Not much, aside from the fact that it's Spoiler Below

f*cking stupid.

Redshirt · 03-17-2008, 06:05 PM

The only thing I didn't like was
Spoiler Below

Data dieing, and Sex scene between Troi and Riker. Enterprise ramming enemy ship (in my opinion) was cool

**Valigarmander** · 03-17-2008, 06:14 PM

^

Spoiler Below

A ship ramming another ship is just... stupid. It would be unecessary and potentially dangerous to the Enterprise as well. It's the same reason you don't see two battleships ramming into each other in the middle of the Pacific: they'd both suffer incredible damage and they would probably both be disabled.

I've never seen the movie, so I may be wrong as far as the circumstances, but still.

***Booyakasha*** · 03-17-2008, 06:26 PM

^If I remember correctly, Spoiler Below

the Enterprise's weapons systems were disabled. Doesn't make it any less of a stupid idea, of course. Not unless you're a tremendous fan of hull breaches.

**Valigarmander** · 03-17-2008, 06:31 PM

Spoiler Below

They could have just shot Worf out the airlock. He might have done some damage to the other ship.

Redshirt · 03-17-2008, 06:33 PM

Spoiler Below

So you'd just sit there and let Shinzon go Zap(for lack of a better word) billions of people with his big "Death Star like" super weapon?

***Booyakasha*** · 03-17-2008, 06:44 PM

Spoiler Below

No. At the same time, though, I'd like to think I could come up with a better plan than 'Arrrr, ramming speed! We'll break their ship asunder and send them all howling to Davy Jones!'

Redshirt · 03-17-2008, 07:01 PM

I agree butSpoiler Below

Ramming the ships is cool visually

***Booyakasha*** · 03-17-2008, 07:38 PM

I just realised, we've been spoilering a movie that a) came out six years ago and b) would already have been seen by anyone who could possibly give a damn about it. So screw spoilering from this point on.

I was looking at IMDB, and apparently Jonathan Frakes refused to shave off his thick luxuriant pelt of back-hair for his love/'tough love' scene with Marina Sirtis, so they had to remove it digitally. That's either the sh*ttiest use of special effects ever, or the most humane. Can't decide which.

Redshirt · 03-17-2008, 07:42 PM

^That is just... strange.

Dizzy · 03-19-2008, 01:39 PM

Well, this sucks. By next month, the movie will probably be delayed to August, then October, and so on. Like the way that Brawl was supposed to be released on June '06, it took like 20 or so months before it was really released.

Redshirt · 03-19-2008, 06:43 PM

At this rate I'll be a senior when it comes out.

Yeah, that's JJ abrams for you guys.
