How come I think of Mike when I see this segment on the new Star Trek movie?

Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable' | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

that was funny

[Werewolf]

I'm all for self depreciating humor, but even then, I thought it was a tad mean spirited and the jabs at Shatner and Roddenberry were unnecessary.

That's the onion for ya

I'm just looking at it like this, if it is a hit movie, then I know I wont like it.
I've never been one to like cookie-cutter movies mass produced to appeal to general audiences.

If Paramount makes a killing, more power to them.
The only problem I can forsee, if they don't develope the characters into real people and create a coherent storyline, this franchise wont last past a sequel.

After a time even general audiences must be fed more then candy to sustain them for any length of time.

Your right Mike.
If paramount wants trek to "live long and prosper"they Will have to keep it on a quality path of story telling,and not just let it "circle" the studio every couple of years.They have to man it with people (Rick Berman....NOT!)who really understand what makes trek ....trek.

That video was absoutely hilarious!!!

I especially liked the part about the "Alien battles scenes that don't just look like two out of shape guys in bad make-up fighting awkwardly".

LMAO!!!!

Gotta love the Onion. I especially enjoy the Horoscopes.

To compare TV show that's 42 years old to a 2009 multi million dollar movie is quite embarrassing (on the movies part)

That's like saying --- who is sexier ?, Joan Collins vs (pick any current popular actress of today)

In 42 years, let see how good this movie stands up
