    Yeah, I'm posting this in the Red Room.

    That's so I can properly throw the gauntlet down.

    For those of you who dislike the 2009 Star Trek movie so much, I challenge you to not see the sequel next year.

    That's right... if the reboot was such a piece of crap, why would you waste your precious time on a sequel?

    Or do you just like to preen and talk about how much more intelligent you are, or how much better your taste in entertainment is?

    I suspect it's the latter.

    Because if just one of you motherfuckers watches the sequel and then starts bitching about it, you can take your hypocritical mouths and shove a big fat rubber dildo in them. Right now.

    My my someone forget their happy pills this morning ;)

    Not me. I'm soo looking forward to it. I'll take my Star Trek fix in any way shape or form. Even the Big Bang Theory nurse scene had me giggling like mad.

    Just laying the groundwork for a year from now, so we can all point out what a bunch of idiots they are.

    And how can we intelligently discuss what a piece of crap it is unless we watch it? Hmmm?

    I'll wait until I see trailers and such before I decide if I'm going to go and see it. I may very well end up waiting to down ... I mean, watch it on cable. ;)

    That said, I most likely will see it at some point and if it is crap, I will absolutely not refrain from outlining why I think such. If you don't like to read it, don't. (See what I did there?)

    So if we're bitching that the last one sucked, we're expected to assume that the next one absolutely cannot fix the last one's fuckups?

    Fuck you, you presumptuous cuntscab. We didn't pre-judge the last one, despite your fanboy scrote-licking insistence to the contrary, and we're not going to pre-judge the next one, either.

    The next one might fix the last one's fuckups. It might not. If it does, Skin for one will be here yelling holy hell to the goddamned rafters. And if it sucks again? Skin will pan it.

    But here's hoping it's at least as good as The Wrath of Khan!

    Nehhhhhhhw!" you are no doubt shouting as you flail your limp wrists like a Michael Bay worshipping pansy. "Teh... nnnnnghhhh!!! Teh waff of nnnnnghhhhh! khan wasn't --- nnnnnggghhhh!!! -- puhhhfeck-slurp-nnnnggghhh!"

    No, it wasn't, but using that as an excuse for Lens-Flare-Trek is like saying that just because the Sistine Chapel had an errant brush-stroke or two, the local hood-rat graffiti on the shithouse wall is Renaissance level genius.

    Yep.

    They just want to play pseudo-intellectual with fucking fiction and pretend it means they are connoisseurs of what should be considered real make believe and which is to be discounted because it doesn't match their personal, clearly superior opinions.

    They'll watch it because they want to bitch. And we want them to watch it so we can point and laugh at the silly hypocrites and their overblown egos.

    Because if not, some whiny fanboy will whine that I haven't watched it so I can't criticize it. And then when I see it, they'll whine that I'd already made up my mind about it and only watched it to get ammo. :bergman:

    :lookinthemirror:

    :lol: Request denied. [​IMG]

    I have a better idea: why don't you grow some fucking skin and learn to deal with the fact that not everyone is going to like the same silly shit that you do? Like it or not, there are legitimate criticisms against that movie. So how about learning how to intelligently defend a movie you like, even if the only thing you can come up with is "it's a guilty pleasure"? Or we could just argue about Star Trek on a board that's full of TrekBBS rejects, your call. ;)

    Who cares if people enjoy bitchin and moanin?

    Where is it written that a person has to have a smile on their face and a song in their heart all the time?

    I'm with Kor from "Errand of Mercy".

    There's legitimate complaining, and then there's just being a toolshed.

    If you're someone who hadn't enjoyed the first, say, seventy episodes of Enterprise, why the FUCK would you think episode #71 will be any better?

    More to the fact, why continue to bring that up at a FAN site? There are plenty of snark boards out there for that purpose, if you're that dedicated to ripping the shit out of a show.

    A bad episode / movie of trek is still better than a good episode of ... most of what's on network tv. :bailey:

    Same reason I was banned from the TrekBBS.

    If you ruin someone else's enjoyment of a movie, television program, or book you can drive down its favorable views and ultimately its profitability. And thus hopefully the next movie, book or television series will be made in a manner that you like.

    I don't like how Abrams reimagined Star Trek. I want it to be a failure. And I want a different type of Star Trek on the big screen and as a series.

    Wow...you self-important git.

    :facepalm:

    Even if in some Bizzaro-verse, you got a whole board to hate it along with you, that's....what, a couple hundred people?
    Out of millions?

    ...there are no words.

    Let's try your usernamed smiley-> :dayton:

    Nope, that isn't much better.

    It worked with Enterprise on the TrekBBS. Or have you forgotten that before it aired and the first episodes people were lauding it as the best Trek series since the original.

    In what universe? There were a lot of people that hated it because Bermaga were involved when it was first announced. :wtf:

    Aside from Stewey and James Dixon, most people who truly didn't like the show gave up watching it. And when one gives up watching it, they kind of don't have much investment in discussing it.

    Yeah, that's not why Bonzie shitcanned you at all. :rolleyes:

    And if you think your opinion is that important that someone will stop liking something because you repeat over and over and over and over again that it sucks, you're seriously conceited. :jayzus:
