Lost is……well………lost and mired in ridiculously overcomplicated dribble at this point. Oh that’s right, he isn’t even the creative force behind that.

3 mos later, cloverfiled sits in a largely ignored and seldom recalled pop culture slumber. All of the predicitions that it would change modern cinema laughably notwithstanding.

And stx, seems like he’s just going to add more explosions and fx to the mythos. Genius? hardly. I promise to get up and walk out of the theater the moment kirk jumps out of the line of phaser fire and does a matrix-bullet-time turn in the air. :roll:

I would have preferred James McAvoy as Scotty but I’ll take Pegg.

PS. I know it didn’t do well at the box office, but was I the only one who thought Nemesis was pretty good?

Is there anything to substantiate the claim that JJ Abrams is a filmmaker? MI3 was not only terribly written (by the same two suits who scripted Trek), but terribly shot. It looked less like a movie than a TV show. Then again Star Trek movies basically are big TV shows, so maybe ST XI falls within JJ’s skill set. I don’t know. So much of Trek depends on the chemistry between its characters. Unproven actors + terrible writers + unproven director = big “?” for me.

Then again, I’m a layman’s space geek. Human beings doing what human being do? Exploration of as much of this universe as possible? Orbital infrastructure? Hell yes.

I was born one day shy of the anniversary of Apollo 11’s escape of Earth, and about 7 years after Apollo 17 was reclaimed by Earth. I’ve seen video games and the internet evolve from Pong and BBS’s to WoW and websites like this. I’ve seen the heralded Second Coming, the iPhone.

I’ve never seen someone walk on the Moon except in rerun.

If that teaser trailer is anything worth speculating about, well, maybe the movie will spark interest in doing what we do best: Exploration. And yeah, I’ve more faith in the independent creative forces than I do in the government-sanctioned acolytes to do that sort of inspiring.
