The same "sane" persons, that said that men would go insane from high speed of a train and that anything, that is heavier than air, would not fly?

Nope!

More like the ones who claim that cell phones and magnetic fields from high voltage transmission lines cause cancer...

Sadly, I don't think they will because the instant they step into new territory, the Trekies and Nerds will scream and fuss and not go to the movie. Remember that there is an active and very vocal gang of rowdies for STAR TREK that have written all sorts of fanfic stories -- like Spock and Kirk get married, Like Worf gets Wesley as a gay lover, like the Klingon women sexually enslave half the galaxy, tribbbles conquer the universe, Harry Mudd does various highly sexualized things that would embarrass porn stars.

Look at the garbage that the last series (Enterprise) turned into with plastic Nazi's and time travel.

Never underestimate the ability of a dedicated audience to want the blandest, grossest, and least brainy idea to fill the movie screen with unintellectual images.

Damn Dave you just popped my bubble and here I was in hopes for something new, exciting, different, something outside the box.

You want a real treat -- try this stuff -- it's called SLASH

Captain Janeway and the ENTIRE CREW star in "The Secret Logs Of Captain Janeway"

I'd rather die in a puddle of pestilential excrement than write this stuff.

But I do read if for laughs.

BTW - it's S&M, too

Prior to playing the Hobbit, they played a nine minute trailer for Into the Darkness. It looked pretty good to me.

I thought about all of this overnight.

The movies I absolutely, positively love and adore and (here's the criteria) want to see over and over again, are good. Five Stars.

The movies that I watch once or twice and enjoy but don't deserve watching any more or are only watched if I'm desperate are still good but Four Stars.

Three stars go to movies that I watch once, like and never watch again because they are eye candy or plotless or just "not my thing" ...

Let's not go deeper, there are movies in the minus scale that I will never watch.

I suspect "ST INTO DARKNESS" will be 3 viewings for the eye candy. If it's higher on my scale, it will surprise me.

To show you how this works anytime of day, day or night, any day of the week, including holidays, I watch "Witness for the Prosecution" ... I love that movie.

If I have to choose between shows in the evening - THE INCREDIBLES wins over anything else, including politics.

A FEW GOOD MEN is always better than boredom, Shipping WArs, Duck Dynasty and Great Race, DWTS, and Judge Judy.
