the ‘but’ could just be the way he talks… or he is comparing the film to what’s out at the moment.. not star trek…

either way, it’s not really a big deal is it.. it’s a bit petty… it’s just a snippet from one interview..

Fair enough, but then the “but” in Cho’s sentence is wrong.

“You just blew me away with that question, sunshine?? However, dont feel bad I dont know what ROTF or BTW means…Can someone help me out?”

Well,

ROTF means Rolling On The Floor
LOL means Laugh(ing) Out Loud
BTW means By The Way

What else… oh yeah

ROTFLMAO means Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A– Off

I prefer

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My BUTT Off

I improvised and did

ROTF LMBFBO

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My BIG FAT Butt Off

“How do you feel with that answer #21 provided?”

Regarding MILF? I feel nauseous. Guess that kind of talk makes me uncomfortable.

Yes, I saw that post you made and the answer was provided but I was hoping it was just someone joking about it. Guess not.

I have seen other shortforms but don’t know if they’re internet-wide or just made up by the posters. This is still fairly new to me.

Have you seen the part in “Amok Time” when Kirk and McCoy are talking to T’Pau, debating whether Kirk should fight Spock or not? Spock is supposedly off in the corner with his hands clasped under his chin, deep in the Plaktow (or whatever) but unfortunately, when the cameras were on Shatner and Kelley, you could see Nimoy in the background (through a break in the crowd) just standing there looking bored not realizing that we could see him. No one caught that. Hilarious. Go look for it. Run it by in slow motion and you’ll see. They might cut it out in the remastered set. Hope not.

Okay, everyone., What are some more real shortforms?

Katie- I had to ask that question myself a couple days ago!

I have no problem with our next ST film having an action edge – after all, our beloved characters are younger the majority of the time. Always loved the eps where Kirk got his shirt ripped fighting that week’s bad guy.

LOL

I just watched “Court Martial” on HD DVD for the first time, and I totally noticed those mismatched stuntmen. Hilarious! For some reason I’d never noticed that before!

“I think people can expect something that pays homage to the original series but also does something really fresh and exciting and young and athletic”

no one is saying that the original series wasn’t exciting, young or athletic at the time…..but you kinda made the point for me.. “WASN’T” as in past tense.. and this is what the new film is aiming to build upon NOW.. nothing wrong with that.. nothing at all..

#24. Man, I love those shots! “Space Seed” “Court Martial” and “Wolf in the Fold” are my favorites for those. In WITF, Mr Henghist’s stunt-man is about 20 yrs younger, 40 lbs heavier and a foot taller! Kirk’s stunt double in CM looks like my 9th grade science teacher! Guarantee they won’t do it in the new film (now they can do a “Running Man” and digitally superimpose the actor’s face over the double’s). Too bad. I miss those!

I am for cerebral Trek but I am open minded to mixed flavors.
By the way, wasn’t “First Contact” an action movie? Still, everyone liked it. And wasn’t TMP criticized for being “The Motionless Picture” (but I liked TMP the most)?
It’s unavoidable for a big blockbuster sci-fi movie to have strong action sequences. This doesn’t imply a dumb flick.

I hope JJ pays homage to TOS by having the stuntmen look nothing like the actors, and giving them facetime as well.

With lots of action, it would provide what the ticket-buyers want, and an hilarious *wink* to all of us TOS fans
