trek 09 was supposed to come out in 2008

But the title wouldn't have made sense.

Tee-hee.

As for me, I'm pretty much in agreement with CP3S.  Well, to be honest, I'm so over Star Wars at this point that I really can't be bothered to care all that much.  It doesn't anger me, but I'm not excited about it or even all that interested.  I guess I'll wait and see what happens, but you won't see me expending too much emotion over it.

I admit, though, to being a bit wary over Abrams simply because I thought Trek 09 was a pretty bad movie.  Still, like others have said, I feel that was more because of the writing:  its story was sophomoric, needlessly nonsensical in almost every conceivable way, and went nowhere.  But while I hated all those damned lens flares, Abrams's directing seemed otherwise pretty good.  He made an exciting picture with a lot of passion, and he obviously did a good job with his actors.  I'm not entirely sure how much input he had on the story, though, and, by extension, how much he'd have on this movie.  I guess that makes some of the difference to me...
