Thanks for these tips. One thing I should also believe is the fact that credit cards providing a 0% rate of interest often bait consumers in with zero interest, instant approval and easy on the net balance transfers, nevertheless beware of the real factor that may void your 0% easy road annual percentage rate and also throw anybody out into the bad house in no time.

#262—”Closetrekker: these unadjusted for inflation numbers you listed is only based on US box office gross.and not worldwide gross..”

That is correct, and TMP’s numbers are far more staggering in comparison to the other films when actually adjusted for inflation.

#263—”The main focus should be the improved product–the film itself. Highlight that first. Concentration on market break down, or whether Abrams was never a Trek fan, etc., should be secondary anyway.”

Absolutely. In the end, all that should matter is whether or not it is a good product that viewers (established fans and general moviegoers alike) enjoy.

‘That’s assuming they go ahead with the project of collecting the particles. I was paying attention.’
That was the presumed plan of the Sona throughout the entire film.

‘The message I got from “Insurrection” is the same one I got from “This Side of Paradise.” These people are a waste of space. An arrested society of perfectly coiffed California hippies.’

Who said the Ba’ku were in a state of arrested development? And how does one measure such? They are artists, they spend the majority of their lives creating, that is hardly a state of Stagnation. You should feel so lucky to get the urge to create a single work of art in todays maddening world of external distractions. Their society is ideal for artists, not stagnant people.

Otherwise the rest of what you said is waste and not worthy of reply.

I guess to some, the highlighted division of “Trekkie and mainstream” is having a negative effect and is being seen as “Us verses them”–though that’s not the intent. That’s probably because some see Trekkies as a negative thing–both in the public and fandom. All that’s needed is a little tweaking. The main focus should be the improved product–the film itself. Highlight that first. Concentration on market break down, or whether Abrams was never a Trek fan, etc., should be secondary anyway.

The message I got from “Insurrection” is the same one I got from “This Side of Paradise.” These people are a waste of space. An arrested society of perfectly coiffed California hippies. They spend decades grooming artists to make tapestries, yet some impossibly collective daze prevents them from moving beyond their self-imposed inertia. Picard defends them because he has to, and mostly because he has a hard-on for Anij

Also, the depiction of the Federation is ridiculous.

The movie is a Trek brain-fart.
