All of Spielberg's movies are "well made." Doesn't change the fact that many of them are crap (I'm looking at you, Always). I think it really comes down to the difference between being a pre-teen in 1979 or being a teen. After the 1-2 punch of Jaws and CE3K, El Spielbergo was a god and I devoured everything connected…

Do you suck them very slowly or crunch them very fast?

When you eat your Smarties…
…do you eat the red ones last?

I like to think of it as an elevenilogy.

Too late, idiot. You've lived up to your name.

No, damn, you're not sexist. Boy gonads and girl gonads work in wholly separate universes.

Don't feed the troll, it's just what they want.

If you're going to use BTTF as the means to defend time travel, then you've lost your argument right there.

Obvious solution? Wormholes! Lots and lots of wormholes!

Yeah, I definitely got Phantom Menace douche chills with the "there's always a bigger fish" oh, so convenient deus ex machina. On Hoth.

M Richelieu, you are a very patient man. You can help improve your gf's already impeccable English by telling here that the phrase "My girlfriend, who happens to be French" is considered awkward. At least on this side of the pond, maybe it's a Brit thing.

Good comments all, my fellow middle-aged droogies. Guess I will have to accept being a hard-to-please crank. I've never been much of a fan of too-convenient time travel and parallel realities, but maybe the sloppy filmmaking exacerbated my irritation. Although… lifting a plot device straight out of Terminator (and…

Thanks for the alert about not being gay and all. That was a close one!

Jam, that is the pre-teen kid in you talking, not an objective assessment of movie quality. (1941? Really?!? barffffffffffffffffffffffffffff)

Being licked on the balls is a reason unto itself.

When the history of cinema is written 100 years from now, they will point to the early 1990s and the MTV-ization of film with non-stop editing and jitter-cam as its nadir. Sadly, 20 years later and we're still there. Form needs to follow function. If your movie is about the excess and assault of modern media (e.g.,…

You don't like to see guys mincing? Are you equally put off by women being strong and powerful? Hypocrite much???

Not the target audience
Well, it's obvious that the new ST was made for people who hate ST (note how proud the director is of having absolutely no previous Trek exposure). Are there really *no* more stories to be told in the old Trekverse that we needed an alternate reality via the tedious use of time travel? What a…

No

Abrams, yes. Wise, no.
Definitely would love a write-up on the Abrams ST. Don't need to bother doing TMP though, waste of cyber-ink. Especially good recaps this week, Z, nice job.
