    I reeeeeeeeeeeally don't want to be that guy, but seriously?
    To each their own, I never cared much for his stuff. To me, some of it is enjoyable the first time around but doesn't hold up to repeated viewings. The guy is in love with his own terrible dialog. I did enjoy IB, thought it was the best of his I've seen by far. Haven't seen it since, and war movies aren't my thing so I don't know if he "paid homage to" any older movies with that one.

    But c'mon, the guy steals everything he can get his hands on.
    Oh, I mean "references."
    Maybe he can do something good and not p*ss on ST but my immediate reaction is NO WAY.
    Seems desperate and tone deaf. Or just calculated to generate buzz.

      ^ I think the parts I wrote before and after what you quoted made it pretty clear what I was talking about.

        If there's one thing that is consistent about Trek, it's that it's constantly reinventing itself. Even Wrath of Khan was a soft reboot. It's hard to keep all the iterations straight at this point. I don't know if they're chasing an unachievable high of capturing the magic again, but as fans, we're pretty much used to 'different' takes on the concept. I'd welcome anything that's fun and adventurous, with character camaraderie, whether it's got Tarrantino's name attached or not. So I say, eh, why not? Let's see what Quentin can do. Might be just the shot in the arm it needs.

          Your comment made me laugh, because that's how I felt about Abrams doing Star Wars. And Rian Johnson, but only in hindsight on him because I didn't even know whom the hell he was before that.

            When I think of Tarantino I don't necessarily think of violence and swearing right off the bat.

            The first thing I think of is intense character study --- The idea of having the same people in a room just talking for what seems like hours.

            In away, almost like an old one room sitcom like The Honeymooners, The Odd Couple or Barney Miller.
