What's the source for this recording?
And why does the percussion section throughout make me think of 1960s movies/TV?
EDIT: This might remind me more of the music for games like Wii Sports or its sequel on that island.

Red Letter Media has released their latest Half in the Bag about Into Darkness.
As much as I did enjoy the film, that review sure did make a lot of sense.

With the rumors circulating about Enterprise getting revived ala Arrested Development...
WHOA! Don't scare me like that.
1. Pretty sure this was nothing more than some fan saying "Wouldn't it be great?!" instead of anything actually substantive or realistic.
2. Oh calm down Enterprise was good.
There should be some way for older members of the forum to approve new thread ideas for actual creation of new threads.
The monkey-men are so bad. Otherwise, fine.

She looks like someone famous but I can't quite put my finger on it. Jeff's wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm?
Yeah there's some resemblance there.
And Warbler, what a reply.

If there is interest in something similar for the audio side of things, I'll see what I can come up with.
Seconded.
Your idea relies too much on the audience knowing the original film.
Yeah, I would never take a pronounceable acronym and continue saying each letter individually after it's been incorporated into a word like avisynth.

Over saturated visual eye-sore like films like 'The Kings Speech', 'Skyfall' etc will date very quickly.
I certainly hope "films with more than two colors" isn't a description used in history books to describe how films from the latter twentieth century are visually unique...
Here's something I made,
The top two screenshots are from 2012's cutting edge digitally graded 'Skyfall, the bottom two are from colour-tinted silent films made almost 100 years ago when film was in it's infancy:
...or is that the other way around?
Let's hope films start looking like this again, sooner rather than later:
Also I did this GODFATHER 2013!!:
OH Yes! It's sooo much better!
(Rant over)
Okay.
That was fantastic. So good to see it all put in one feature like that!

Let the OT.com-Lindelof-hate-fest continue...

How is Starfleet more militaristic than in any of the older films?
See: Any film where they're in the red uniforms, but especially the central conflict of ST:VI:TUC
CP3S said:
Ah, gotcha. Not sure how I misread that.
But seriously, Insurrection and Nemesis are both far better than the J. J. stuff. Insurrection actually has a story, which is something I noticed movies don't necessarily have to have anymore. Nemesis had somethings I liked about it, more I didn't, you're not missing anything.
As a person who watched part of Insurrection, I remain unconvinced.

Oh look at those Obi & Luke post-Tuksen-attack colors.

Another quandary...When theaters played the movies in the day, how does one determine, or even know, what equipment was used to display said movie in said theater? Was there only one professional projector used for every theater in this, and other lands? If a certain projector used a certain type of bulb, or other piece of equipment, could that have tainted the way the filmed look in any way? Is it possible that the screen itself could have displayed the image differently from one theater to another?
Yes. Approximation, average and compromises must be found, but correcting for a typical 70s bulb is definitely necessary.
Yup, check your PMs.

The dramatic tension of Kirk's sacrifice is slightly deflated, because the audience has already been told Khan's got magical healing blood. (Which is apparently unknown to 23rd century medicine, and none of Khan's frozen comrades seem to have.) You can see the resolution coming a light year away.
really?? cause I didn't. Yeah you see Khan using his blood to heal the girl, but SHE WASN'T DEAD, and Kirk was. When Kirk died, I honestly thought the next movie as going to be "The Search for Kirk".
Did you read what I wrote? THE GIRL WAS NOT DEAD. Kirk was dead.
If Kirk had lay dying in sickbay of some sort of incurable illness, then it would be clear that Khan's blood was going to heal him. But was it clear that Khan's blood could bring something back to life? No. And, as I said before, I was not expecting it.
Yes, I read what you wrote. It was still telegraphed well ahead of time Khan's blood was important somehow, especially since it's something never talked about in either Space Seed or TWOK.
that Khan's blood was important? yes. That Khan's blood could heal the sick? yes. That Khan's blood could bring the dead back to life? no.
Maybe it was predictable, but I for one did not predict it.
That's why they showed McCoy and the necrotic (they used that word) tribble.
Yeah, I think at this point is is best to admit (and I am glad we've reached this point) that canon is forever loosey-goosey.

There's a bit of Goldsmith at 1:46, back to ST09 at 2:25, and then the bit I noticed in theaters at 2:38...but I'm not even sure that particular line was heard until TNG.
EDIT: I'm stupid and couldn't remember how the Original Series theme started. Never Mind. Wow.
But that is Goldsmith at 1:46, right? right?

Funny how the beginning and end feel more like classic Trek than the middle part
I had the exact same feeling, and just wanted to watch them go through their five year mission.
Although I thought it was interesting that they used the "bum bum bummm" horns in the final scene. Wasn't that theme introduced in TMP?
