"I just wanted to add that when you look at what Abrams did with Star Trek, it should give us all hope."

It doesn't give me hope at all. I love the prequels, liked Star Trek movies until Abrams, despised Abrams' Star Trek movies, dislike all of Abrams' other directed movies, hated his Lost pilot, and Cloverfield, Regarding Henry, Felicity, Alias. And I didn't even really pay attention to the fact that all this stuff was done by the same man until Star Trek, which was just amazing. "So this is the man responsible for all this," I thought. Then, the cherry on the top, well three cherries, were his "mystery box" Ted speech, his awful, awful Spielberg homage, Super 8, and finally,  Morning Glory... Perhaps the most rancid piece of that insipid genre of "workplace...comedy?"... ever to light up my living room. The only thing worse than giving Star Wars to Abrams would be if I couldn't find it absolutely hilarious, which I do.
