127: No, nobody cares. Nobody but posers who are desperate to have the “right” opinion care what “critics” think about, well, anything. Most people actually have the guts to have their own opinions about things, rather than having others tell them what they should think about something.

Music snobs are as annoying as movie snobs are as annoying as wine snobs are as annoying as beer snobs, etc., etc., etc.

Cool post. Just a few days until release. Buzz for Star Trek has been dropping since last week. Losing steam before the opening is not good…

51. JJ_roddenberry said: ‘I dunno, maybe they aren’t worried about this, but are present-Spock’s scenes set a considerable length of time after Unification? He looks at least 210.’

Well, if we take the approach that Spock was on Romulus for about 19 years after Unification, then spent 28 years in the new film’s timeline, then he’s going to be about 47 years older than when we last saw him!

I encourage anyone interested in the music of Star Trek to take a listen to OUR OWN JEFF BOND’S PANEL REVEIW OF THE MUSIC OF STAR TREK ON ITUNES.

Not only is this one of the most intelligent detailed discussions of all of the music of Star Trek, it showcases more and different parts of the Giacchino score. For anyone who thinks this new score hung the moon, you’ll be disappointed in the REAL EXPERTS opinion. They rank it pretty low and I totally agree. Even our own Jeff Bond doesn’t give into the sensational hype surrounding the film’s score as he honestly asses it.

Search for Film Score Monthly Podcasts or copy and paste this link:

For anyone who cares, I pretty much rank the scores something like this:

II TWOK
I TMP
VIII FC
X Nem
VI TUDC
III TSFS
V TFF
IX Ins
VII Gen
ST09
IV TVH

Did anyone else notice that the nav lights under the saucer on the Enterprise dossier page ALMOST match up with the multiple screws on the Playmates toy? Kinda cool coincidence.

Okay this Warp 8 stuff is bull shit, especially for the Jelly fish as that was from the Prime Universe where other ships routinely hit 9.

If anybody is familiar with The Legion of Superheroes, DC Comics have three Legion Universes operating at the same time. The concept of this is nothing new. Neros actions create an alternate timeline. It’s a comic book plot device that has been used for quite some time. In the X-Men books it was Age of Apocalypse and after it was over that timeline continued to exist in another universe. Orci and Kurtzman said it was disrespectful to just wipe out the original continuity. It had been around for 40 years so that was understandable. This was a way to start over without being confined to the rules. Star Trek choked on its continuity as Ron Moore said. Original Spock is called ‘Spock Prime’ for a reason. All the nitpicking over petty crap is ridiculous. Enjoy the damn movie and shut up. A lot of people are not going to like it and its cool. They went out of their way to respect the material. They could have put up a middle finger like George Lucas and you know the crazy part people still went to see all the prequels after they got mad at George. The Star Wars Prequels should have been done by someone else. True fans of the classic trilogy. Orci and Kurtzman are fans. Stop Bitching.

I noticed that they’ve altered to colors of the bridge on the official site. Dare I say that I like the more subdued color scheme that they’ve used there. For some reason the absence of the candy apple red floor and almost white bulkheads makes it look a lot better IMO. Hopefully, like with every Trek film before this one, they will tweak the color scheme for the next movie. Opinions? Click on the ‘About” section to see what I mean…

I really would like to find the new image of the Enterprise with the space station that’s behind the inner tray of the soundtrack CD. It’s probably the best looking shot of the new ship I’ve seen, and it’s rather nostalgic, as it’s similar to the publicity still of the Enterprise leaving the spacedock that was published for “Star Trek lll”.

if anyone can find this new publicity still online, I’d love to know where, cause I’d love to use it as a desktop shot.
