Ha, and I just answered it!

But you didn't answer the all-important question: is Jacob Kogan THE CUTEST THING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN OMG or what?

Well, he did get beaten up in the movie by other kids so that part was okay. HAHA. OMG I'm going to hell now.

Oh, good, you weren't insulted. I was a little worried...

I think you do like action movies more than I do, judging by the movies you've seen. I think action movies are liable to give me a headache, so that might be part of my dislike.

Other people disliked the Star Trek movie? I've been kind of avoiding reading about the movie, so I didn't realize I'm not alone!

Honestly, I'm not sure I would've liked it better if it HAD been a faithful prequel to the TOS. I can't see any way that the movie would have worked for me! So for what it was, it was fine. It wasn't an embarrassment like I thought it might be. If that's what Star Trek is now, I'm fine with it, but I'm also not too interested in it, either. (I really do wish they'd picked another actor for Kirk...someone prettier. *is totally shallow*)

I was pretty horrified by the destruction of Vulcan as well. What's going to happen when Spock goes through Pon Farr? Oh, maybe that's what Uhura is there for. :P

LOL! I totally found TOS boring and never really watched much of it even though my dad liked it. And I have zero interest in seeing the movie. So it's funny to see all the squeeing and crankiness and I'm just mystified, but amused.

a different Star Trek, not the one I loved so much.

*nod* And this is the basis of why I've had no interest in this project. I can get on board most of the Trek franchises, but this is a retooling of the original, and I just... something in me is not allowing for this treatment to feel like an homage. *shrug*

The bloke who directed the movie or whoever that dared badmouthing "Galaxy Quest" had it right in one way: this movie was not "Galaxy Quest". "Galaxy Quest" was a good movie.

I just saw a handful of episodes from the original Trek and the first movie, but I spend the whole movie going "GTFO, you're not my Kirk. My Kirk has charisma, and even though he could be an asshole you could see why his crew was willing to follow him to hell and back. This guy, he's just an asshole."
