Blu Ray is up for pre-order

I don't need the 3D copy but I want that Phaser.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

No one posted the new clip? THE MUSIC! THE MUSIC THAT STARTS AT THE END! I WANT TO HEAR IT! WHY VARESE? WHY IS IT DELAYED?!

So basically this clip "that was nothing to be excited about" was the first time we heard the Marcus themes, eh?

[Jay 46,243]

Well at the time it was just 5 seconds of random music out now context

Anyway I wouldn't call Admiral Marcus's Theme one of Giacchino's all time greats, though it certainly does its job in the film.

Damon Lindelof on Alice Eve's underpants

Writer admits 'Star Trek' lingerie scene was 'gratuitous,' 'mysogynistic'

[Brónach 1,330]

"Why is Alice Eve in her underwear, gratuitously and unnecessarily, without any real effort made as to why in God's name she would undress in that circumstance?" Lindelof responded. "Well there's a very good answer for that. But I'm not telling you what it is. Because... uh... MYSTERY?"

and my answer to that is so what. she was lovely in her undies and there is no harm or foul.

[Jay 46,243]

Kirk was topless in both reboot movies and nobody complained

[crocodile 9,724]

Yeah, and that was misandristic.

Karol

[Brónach 1,330]

Yeah, and that was misandristic.

And Kirk didn't have his nipples covered!

I have no problem with the stripping down. I haven't seen the scene but what I gather from the shot is that the pose and the shot is overly artificial which is why many might feel it's wrong instead of just going with it.

[crocodile 9,724]

The scene in the film is a non-issue. Let's just say it's about Kirk being Kirk.

Karol

[Brónach 1,330]

Ah, ok.

That is hilarious all the way! ROTFLMAO ROTFLMAO ROTFLMAO

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

but is is joke footage that they did because they knew they were going to take flak for the nudity?

LOL by the way.

The music of giacchino..it is for the deleted scene? or tracked ?

[Jay 46,243]

It's Ode To Harrison

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

Nice fan poster!

[Jay 46,243]

Not bad, except it looks like Harrison is holding a leaf-blower

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

Perhaps you'd like this one better?

[Jay 46,243]

Now he has no eyes!

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

What is it with those "bad guys" these days?

To be fair, you couldn't exactly see Darth Vader's eyes either, could you?

[Brónach 1,330]

Not bad, except it looks like Harrison is holding a leaf-blower

Haha fantastic work! It's funny that he looks shorter than the porch though!

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

The film made use of forced perspective to hide the fact that he's a midget.

Paramount, CBS, Bad Robot, and the fight over Star Trek merchandise

http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/how-web-star-trek-rights-killed-jj-abrams-grand-ambitions-91766

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

I can totally understand CBS not giving up on merchandise with the original TOS cast!

[stewdog1 50]

I can totally understand CBS not giving up on merchandise with the original TOS cast!

And if people are confused about the two, like it says in the article, then they fail at life.

The article made it sound like JJ and company wanted to basically do away with the originals and anything associated with it.

I'm very glad CBS stepped up and said no.

Simon Pegg: "'Fuck you!' if you think Star Trek Into Darkness sucks!"

[Ollie 1,375]

Star Trek V is the worst Trek film.

[Wojo 2,458]

Star Trek V had more heart than Generations, Insurrection, or Into Darkness. I consider them worse than V.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Generations had "time is the fire in which we burn."

Insurrection had "how many people does it take?!"

I'm struggling to think of a redeeming scene out of ST:V. Maybe "I'll die alone?"

[John Takis 394]

"What does God need with a starship?" is perhaps THE quintessential Captain Kirk line. And the "I need my pain" speech is among the classic Kirk monologues. Trek V is full of heart. It's also horribly misguided at times -- but I still find it compulsively watchable, and enjoy it as a film more than Trek III.

At the end of the day, I think the least of the original six films is better than the best of the TNG films. (And it's not because I'm a TOS fanatic -- my favorite series is DS9.)

I also enjoy TMP more than TWOK. Sue me.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

my favorite series is DS9.

Right back at ya, Simon! Before I read this I was a casual fan of yours.

As for which film is the worst, I don't really like V or Into Darkness, but at least V was different. It also had the better music.

[Wojo 2,458]

I thought Hot Fuzz was stupid, so Fuck Me, I guess.

[Brónach 1,330]

Hot Fuzz is awesome. Very well directed and had a brilliant handling of tone for comedic purposes. And I love how the script mixed several completely random ideas and made it flow.

[stewdog1 50]

my favorite series is DS9.

Give me a piece of that.

I'm more interested in the quotes related to Williams score.

"I had the most wonderful experience with my daughter watching them, who was 3 at the time. She'd been listening to the "Star Wars" music in the car and she would want me to tell her the story of what was happening -- because I know the films so well I can literally "audiobook" the story to the music."

You always know how to ruin the fun.

That's what I do.
