Comments on: watchoo got NEW MOVIE!? http://www.trekcast.com/?p=1424 Trekcast Thu, 09 Sep 2010 10:24:44 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: jerad.formby http://www.trekcast.com/?p=1424&cpage=1#comment-3092 jerad.formby Fri, 12 Feb 2010 02:15:40 +0000 http://www.trekcast.com/?p=1424#comment-3092 @Redman I wish you could elaborate more on how the new movie's a "cheat." The questions you're asking don't work for me in the context I think you mean. To change Norman Bates into Dexter would be to not be Psycho. To put Kirk in the Captain's chair early doesn't change him from being a Starship Captain, hence it's still Star Trek. To make Voldemort Harry Potter's father would be to change Harry Potter into a different person entirely --to destroy Vulcan only changes Spock's path in life, but not who he is. Likewise to blame Voldemort's evil on molestation from Dumbledorf isn't nearly the same as crediting the Narada's futuristic appearance to any Starfleet advances while Kirk is growing up. As far as Tom Sawyer goes... The League of Extraordinary Gentleman was an awful movie... so Fresh isn't always better. Glad that's not true for Star Trek. @Redman

I wish you could elaborate more on how the new movie’s a “cheat.” The questions you’re asking don’t work for me in the context I think you mean. To change Norman Bates into Dexter would be to not be Psycho. To put Kirk in the Captain’s chair early doesn’t change him from being a Starship Captain, hence it’s still Star Trek.

To make Voldemort Harry Potter’s father would be to change Harry Potter into a different person entirely –to destroy Vulcan only changes Spock’s path in life, but not who he is.

Likewise to blame Voldemort’s evil on molestation from Dumbledorf isn’t nearly the same as crediting the Narada’s futuristic appearance to any Starfleet advances while Kirk is growing up.

As far as Tom Sawyer goes… The League of Extraordinary Gentleman was an awful movie… so Fresh isn’t always better. Glad that’s not true for Star Trek.

Would you re-make Psycho and change Norman Bates into a Dexter type serial killer? Should Harry Potter be re-written to say that Voldemort is Harry's Father or that Voldermort is the way he is because he was molested by Dumbledore? If that's the case then someone should re-write The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn to update them and bring them a fresh plot.

I went into this movie wanting to hate it and pick it apart - but ended up LOVING it! Wow - what a ride! Can't wait to see what they do next!

Pre-screening ratings off the chart (or at least in the mid-90%). No safety net. Amazing special effects. And Kirk, et al, adventuring in their prime. Trekkies need a reality check. I say this as an old-school Trekkie. Excellent again, sir. Best reviewed movie of the summer (so far). Pre-screening ratings off the chart (or at least in the mid-90%). No safety net.
