The Star Trek franchise had a bedrock production team that worked on every series from TNG through to Enterprise. It was a family.

When it came time to do Discovery they approached CBS to let them know they were ready and willing to continue. CBS response was “your services are not required.”

I get the joke, but it’s in questionable taste to show Carrie looking like that.

Questionable?

Would you rather I curse a lot and suggest some arms need to be ripped off? 😉

It almost looks like a cover for Frink’s future edit.

Some Criterion fans in the 90’s thought they were slumming it a bit releasing those on LD. 😉

It was neither awesome nor Star Wars. Although one of the guys might have been a photoshopped Hayden…

Was it a sock who posted porn, ala HansiG?

Meanwhile, in Discovery news:

https://deadline.com/2018/06/star-trek-discovery-james-duff-joins-executive-producer-overall-deal-jenny-lumet-olatunde-osunsanmi-promoted-1202419818/

EXCLUSIVE: The Closer creator James Duff has joined CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Discovery as executive producer. It is part of an overall development deal he has signed with series producer CBS TV Studios.

Additionally, writer Jenny Lumet (Rachel Getting Married), who joined the series as a consulting producer at the start of Season 2, has been promoted to co-executive producer. Co-executive producer Olatunde Osunsanmi has been upped to executive producer and will serve as the series’ producer/director based on set in Toronto.

Yes, let’s bring more people in who are in no way veterans of the franchise or know what makes Trek feel like Trek.

That’s ridiculous. Only people who are Trek veterans are allowed to work on Trek? Come on.

Not necessarily, but the production crew working on Discovery don’t seem to care much about making it feel remotely like the franchise it belongs to. Hiring people already familiar with the franchise has the potential at least to help in that regard. Granted, at this point, when I see some news article about Picard maybe having a role in Discovery I just sigh and move on because the series is already pretty much DOA as far as being a quality Prime Universe Star Trek series.

I thought the Picard thing was a separate show? Nothing to do with Discovery.

Sorry about the mess.

That’s more horrifying than the Predator Blu-Ray!

Then again, I’d be nervous if any film I produced had a six-figure loss.

It’s not a loss though. It just didn’t meet projections. Maybe they needed to rethink their projections.

If they spent 500 million on it then that is a loss.

I don’t understand why so many people here are so eager to paint Solo as if it isn’t a box office failure. It’s not like any of you have a personal stake in it.

I own Disney stock. Okay, it’s actually Disney dollars from 1989, but their market value is probably affected either way. 😉

Pocket change compared to what they’re forking out for Fox. The Star Wars land at Disneyland hasn’t opened yet. That’s going to be huge. Disney is in this for the long haul.
Someone is probably upset they didn’t cast that Ingruber fellow though. 😉

Is 13 years the thread bump record?

With all the money they’re making this year between Black Panther, Infinity War, and Incredibles 2, I imagine Disney can’t be too upset. 😛

It still did better than A Wrinkle In Time, which Disney apparently put on some double bills in certain domestic markets recently just to nudge it past 100 million.

Most movie depictions of exposure to a vacuum are complete baloney. Human beings aren’t water balloons. And movie rules are not etched on some stone tablets somewhere.
And again, Guardians Of The Galaxy doesn’t get the crap TLJ does over doing essentially the same thing. And don’t tell me that’s a hard sci-fi movie.

I think it’s an antenna for some sort of beacon/emergency transmitter similar to what Han was using when searching for Luke on Hoth.

It’s a shame those HBO monthly guide booklets never listed the short films. We could probably find it in minutes if we had a title. It was years before I found this short. It’s like a lost sequence from Heavy Metal!

I actually suggested Frink make that ad into what happens to Padme after she dies. 😛
Where’s Anakin?

Five Million Years to Earth (a.k.a. Quatermass and the Pit)

Boy, did that movie scare me as a kid! Might have given me a nightmare or two.

Guys, it’s star trek. You’re acting like it’s about TLJ.

TMP could have been the TLJ of Trek, had there been social media at the time.

I do. You’re wrong. That’s what I say.

You are an ass. And you’re completely off base on why I hate Enterprise. Look at Tobar’s posts again.

Okay, let’s not get too emotional here.

Most dinosaurs don’t command starships, or make knives out of obsidian. And it was freaking cold on the planetoid.

And I’d like to see Kirk throw a boulder like that.

I don’t recall Kirk and the Gorn captain actually fist fighting, and that’s my personal favorite episode.

Handman said:

If you’re going to compare Arena to a sleazy catfight that looks straight out of a direct-to-video shitfest, I’m not really sure what to say.

I do. You’re wrong. That’s what I say.

Judo chop, yes. Fists? No. Fist fights usually involve a punch to the face?

I give Kirk’s bamboo cannon a pass as the Metrons were running the show and could have allowed it to work. (IIRC, one of the TNG novels mentions every attempt to recreate it in a holodeck simulation ends with the cannon blowing up in a cadet’s face.) And it’s the Enterprise CGI Gorn that looks like a dinosaur, not the classic man in a suit version. 😉
