Remember when JJ Abrams unilaterally make Mr. Sulu gay in the 3rd reboot Star Trek movie as some weird tribute to George Takei? Then George Takei came out and said, "No, Sulu the character is not gay."

That's how it is to be JJ Abrams- so conceited by his own imagined but not real brilliance.

Or remember when JJ Abrams didn't write or direct the third Star Trek reboot and almost assuredly had nothing to do with that decision?

Not a single thing in Star Wars is agreed upon.
Winky face aside, The Empire Strikes Back is the best. Ever.
Oh, I (and most people) agree. But I've definitely met (or heard) people who say ANH or ROTJ is their favorite.

A case can be made for ANH, but for ROTJ, I give you ewoks as the primary reason that movie will never belong in such a conversation.

Remember that time you made my entire day with your completely untrue comment?

Hate needs to stay directed at Kennedy for mismanaging the new Star Wars trilogy. Ultimately its on her and the other people involved in the decision process. Even if I disagree a lot with the choices Rian Johnson made, it was enabled by her vision (or lack thereof)

Just gotta go watch The Mandalorian again to feel better about the direction of Star Wars.
We should definitely hate a person because they didn't generate the movie we wanted.
You obviously haven't been paying attention if you think that's why people hate Kennedy.

He helped tear down maybe the 2 biggest franchises from my childhood in star trek and star wars, But he will get countless more gigs because he brings in young audiences at the expense of the fans who made the franchises popular.
So yeah, hate that guy,

Imagine JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson were standing on Alderaan

I love the Star Trek reboots.
I've tried numerous times to watch the older Star Trek movies. They bore me to hell.

Love the new ones.

Thanks JJ!
Me upon seeing the bolded.


Me upon considering the bolded.


Me delivering my opinion of the bolded.


I really enjoy watching most of the original ST movies. Loved JJ's first ST, meh on the second, and the 3rd was awful.


Reminds me of that thread from a year or so ago about rating ST flicks - there was much fun disagreement

Top Tier
ST 2 Wrath of Khan
ST 1st Contact
ST Generations
ST (2009 flick)

Decent Tier
ST 3 Search for Spock
ST 4 Voyage Home
ST Into Darkness

Ehhh Tier (but will sit through it)
ST Insurrection

Bad Tier (will watch in a pinch)
ST Nemesis

Never Watch Again Tier
ST 1 (the standard against which all badness is measured - literally Ambien in movie form)
ST 5 and 6 (a waste of streaming bandwidth nowadays)
Star Trek VI rocks. "Fly her apart then!"
