sean wookie said:You guys are whiny bitches. You can't ruin childhood memories. As a kid I had a good time watching Batman and Robin and did finding out it was horrible bother me? No it didn't. All my memories of Star Wars are still good memories. A lot of directors start sucking after a while not just Lucas.
Dude are you even following this thread? Because this post having nothing much to do with what is being discussed would indicate otherwise.
It is not that it is going to be ruining anybodies childhood memories. It is the future anybody that is whining about this is worried about. And it is nothing to do with a movie that sucked all along, but whining parties were to young to realize, it is a totally new film.
Gaffer makes a good point about adaptions. It is hard to think of this as a new adaption of the old series though. Mostly because they based some major plot points around not making it to.
Gaffer, imagine if J. K. Rowling had felt it nessecary to tie the books in with a film in order to explain away their variations. Let's say the Harry from the book went and somehow met the Harry from the movies, and they had a discussion about how things might happen differently in each of their timelines for some reason or another. Kind of silly isn't it?
Now we have not seem the new Trek, but this plot point of Spock time traveling and the explaination of the differences has been public knowledge for sometime now, and it hardly even considered a spoiler. If it really is how it seems it is, it is pretty silly, and it tries to make this a sequel to Nemesis, when that is exactly what it does not need to be. They tied Generations in with the original crew, to make it more of a sequel to The Undiscovered Country instead of a new series. That was kind of cool, sort of provided closure to the TOS series of movies. I respect that is what they are trying to do with the new one, but it still feels cheap to me, and it keeps this from being a true reboot or adaption, which it should have been in my opinion. I am not really still complaining about it. I have said how I felt a few pages back and I am good to go. I am not going to see it in the theaters, because I don't want to waste money on it. When it comes to video I will probably barrow it or rent it.
