I saw the first one once, and put it out of my reality completely, it was so unendurably awful. The ads are just all "CRASH! SMASH! POW! PUNCH! CHASE! EXPLODE! EMOTE! SCREAM!". Trek is about CHARACTERS, not fools running around screaming and crap exploding everywhere; that's just the frosting on the nerdcake. <br /><br />And, lest you lot forget, I say this as a no-life woman that got married dressed as a Klingon (Five years ago Wednesday! WOOOO!), so if a woman that loves Trek so much that she dresses as a Klingon for the fun of it thinks it'll suck, think well on your ticket purchase.<br /><br />Cheers, thanks a lot,<br /><br />StormStormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-7447366593824471012013-04-29T20:28:25.897-07:002013-04-29T20:28:25.897-07:00Looks like we're once again heading into the s...Looks like we're once again heading into the season of movies that are big, loud, dumb and blow up real good. So I'll be adding even more names to the ever-growing pile of $200 million movies I plan to die without ever seeing. I might watch the "Gatsby" remake on Blu-Ray to see the sets, clothes and cars, as long as I can mute the rap soundtrack and play my CDs of Annette Hanshaw and Helen Kane instead.

(Redheads are practically Nerd catnip.)<br /><br />As far as RJ's "reboot" issue with Man Of Steel goes...HUH?<br /><br />For the movies, this is the first "reboot" since 1978. ("Returns" was really just a continuation of the Christopher Reeve movies that ignored III & IV. A Superman II.5 is you will.) <br />The TV shows (Adventures, Superboy, Lois & Clark and Smallville) are really their own beasts working with smaller effects budgets. They have their pros and cons, but for the real SUPERpowered action, it's got to be on the big screen.Sean D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938260092908295384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-73285037233576646172013-04-29T07:02:33.362-07:002013-04-29T07:02:33.362-07:00After Earth will bomb at the BO.

Jaden Smith is loved by nobody, (that includes his own father). And nobody, I say it again, NOBODY is talking about this movie. There's no buzz, positive or not. Nothing. Nada. Niente.
