Trailer Story FAIL
The REAL trailer is coming out in another five days. (Per startrekmovie.com where you can watch the previous trailer in HD.) Perhaps it would have been better to wait before proclaiming it? Or at least give useful information on the release date of the footage?
The real news at the moment is that a photo of the new Enterprise was released yesterday. I was expecting changes, but this awkward kitbash makes me very unhappy.
The new bridge was also revealed about a month ago. Many refer to it as the "iBridge" because of its resemblance to Apple hardware. Personally, I'm mostly happy with the bridge design. It appears to be functional and otherwise looks nice.
I just wish they hadn't made a parody out of the old girl.

Re:$208 Million Petascale Computer Gets Green Ligh
I'm glad they've given it a green light.
Me too. It seems like Urbana sure learned their lesson about giving big, powerful computers red lights about seven years ago.

Re:Doesn't bother me.
The damn thing is going to be heart-breakingly bad anyhow from what I've seen & read about it.
That is what I had assumed. I didn't figure there was any way Hollywood could possibly turn out a decent version of Watchmen.
But then I read this, and now I'm vaguely hopeful.

Re:How not to sell the rights?
shoot on this video will NOT get you in the big festivals.
This may be changing...using a RED One 4K Camera, Joshua Weigel took Best Film for "Stained" at the 168 Film Festival.
Also now Joe Carnahan is shooting "Killing Pablo" on a RED as well.
These aren't cheap DV or HDV cameras, but video nonetheless. -
R2Dcup?
Is it just me, or does the 1977 card look an awful lot like R2D2 is wearing a bra?

Re:Now, if only...And the parents thinking the boy was,
Anyway, I thought the movie was great. They poke fun at GWB, but at the same time spout "The American Way" of the right to freedom for all (which is what the USA is fighting for right now for another oppressed people.) They also poke fun at, and show the ridiculousness of some of today's ways of doing things, (Internet/WWW, eBay, getting some Indian on a phone who won't understand the seriousness of a situation... except this Indian had better english, etc.)
It was great to hear all of the tag-lines that were in the original cartoons.Starscream, you have failed me yet again!
Okay, those aren't exact, and there are others throughout, it was fun.
There's more to us than meets the eye.
Autobots, transform and rollout!
The battle scenes were incredible, especially the end when the bots were going at it. It's the kind of thing I wish I could create and script out. Granted, there were times the camera came in too close and my bro complained about the shakiness. I wonder if ILM is trying to keep it cheaper... that is, not spend so much time in rendering so many things in a frame. They did the same thing in Pirates 3. Though, the effects are pretty cool.
The surround sound was finally correct for any movie I've seen. Sounds that I expected to be behind me, on the right, left, back a bit and to the left, etc, where were I heard them.
Finally, what about the preview for the new J.J. Abrams top secret movie Cloverfield? That looks like it's going to be pretty dang cool. (I love the proper use of silence) -
LionsGate announced last month
LionsGate announced in August that they'd be part of the new movie store. So, why does Variety appear to be reporting otherwise?
