    This is why I supported a Tarantino Star Trek, to forever tarnish the brand with violence and language so much that Disney would be afraid to add it to their monolithic catalog of IPs

    I used to work as an assistant editor for Fox Channel in Argentina many many years ago. And there was this trailer for a star trek movie that had the name on text of the crew on the trailer and the scriptwriter wrote “Zulu” instead of Sulu in the script (my knowledge about star trek is limited to the memes of this community) so I complied and wrote Zulu on the trailer. Nobody else notice and was aired like that. the next day it aired some guy I have never seen on my life entered my island with my producer and the screenwriter and the guy was furious, asking me why I wrote the name wrong and telling me that they had been receiving calls from all latinamerica saying thay we were fucking stupid and had to pull off the trailer from air. I show him the script as it came to me in the email and the screenwriter facepalmed in shame. They asked me to correct the name and re send the traileds asap. After thay I learned thay the guy was like the director of costumers relationship and the poor screenwriter was demoted and transferred to write the trailer of the cooking channel.

      *directed two Star Trek movies.

      Beyond was directed by Justin Lin which is why it was better than the JJ movies

      I mean, the first one was a fun popcorn flick. Into Darkness was… Eh, not the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I can’t adequately judge Beyond because it came out about three months after my dad died (who introduced me to Trek and sci-fi in general) and he would have loved the ending.

          But I honestly love the Bangs and shouting! That sequence was great!

        My dad was a film historian, and there have been so many discoveries and so much movie news he would have loved to know about since he died. I think about that every time something new in the classic movie world comes up.

    Must go faster? She can’t take much more of this, Captain. I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

      You mean the Disney that conservative groups got mad at because two women had a split second “kiss” in a movie, or the Disney that made Song of the South?

      Misters Chekov Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up? Because THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER.

        Beverly Crusher would.

          Why do we give Crusher so much shit for her ghostly dalliance, but Yar gets off scott free, when she had full on sex with an android that was only a couple months old from his perspective?

          And don’t tell me that it’s because Rick Berman showed up on set in his true form to kill her off.

      What, so they can lock it behind the Star Trek Plus channel, just 4.99 a month on top of Amazon Prime.

      Now with extra targeted adverts!
