while I'm not boycotting the new film, I can sympathize with those that do. I'm sure many who do, understand that they will have no real impact and just doing it for the principle of it. I'm still refusing to give Lucas any of my money. I know it won't have an impact, but I'm doing it anyway.

As for the new Trek, the only real problem I have with it is the romance between Spock and Uhura. That is just wrong unvulcan-like. Whatever happened to being totally logical and unemotional?

Not attacking you, but I really loathe the use of the word 'boycott' in this light.

One cannot boycott an entertainment property based on the percieved quality of that product. That is just chosing not to see it based on personal opinion. The entertainment industry is built on people making that choice every day about every product. No one boycotted "Beethoven 4," most just chose not to see it.

If "Star Trek" the movie appealed to certain TOS fans, but they refused to see it because Chris Pine was a Nazi war criminal, that could be termed a 'boycott.'

"I'm refusing to see a movie I don't want to see!" is not a boycott.
