Which movie was that?

How much of an original idea is Night Swim though? I’m not familiar with this particular horror film, but horror movies, especially slashers, are some of the least original and innovative movies out there. They are all basically the same movie. They’re as derivative as a Hallmark romcom, although more cynical and…

Picard S3, for all the love it gets, is really just the same shit as the first two seasons, only this time with characters we recognize. It’s the same morally bankrupt deconstruction where violence is confused with being a badass and plot twists that really don’t make any damn sense. If you take away the nostalgia, is…

Unfortunately, my wife is one of those people. She's always skipping cutscenes in GTA or Red Read Redemption.

If I’m not mistaken, the game you’re thinking of is Star Trek: Birth of the Federation, by Microprose. Came out around 1999, you can play as the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi or Cardassians.

There’s a difference between leftist and liberal. Soviet Russia was leftist - but very illiberal. This distinction is lost on many.

I think the simplest solution here, is that instead of simply allowing Milo to speak, you rearrange the forum to that of a classical debate. You don’t leave it up to college freshmen to eviscerate his ideas, you bring in the counter ideas.

See, I haven't seen Beyond. Into Darkness was so bad I never bothered. I guess I ought to watch it though, because I've heard a lot of good things.

I’m not confusing Pine with Wesley. Shatner's Kirk was a self-admitted bookworm who dated scientists and got bullied by upper-classmen. Pine's Kirk was a loud-mouthed party animal who had no respect for authority. Very different creatures.

... really? Pine’s interpretation of Kirk is so far removed from the original character that it's completely unrecognizable.

My biggest beef with Picard is that the show seems to think edgy vengeance-hungry murderers are badass. Cue Seven, Jurati, Beverly, Worf, etc etc etc.

Plus, TMP invented starship porn.

I agree with you, I always really enjoyed Generations. It was the only TNG movie that felt like it knew who the characters were 

The problem isn’t that Abrams isn’t a fan - Meyer wasn’t, and it turned out great - but that he doesn't *understand* the property at all.

You like Time's Arrow? Eww.

What I really hated about Cumberbatch’s performance was the melodramatic way he says, “Khan” when he reveals his true identity.

I never liked the Abrams movies anyway. Star Trek 2009 felt like a movie by someone who didn’t understand Trek (which it was), and Into Darkness pitifully stupid. Riddled with nonsensical logic, contradictions and a lack of intelligence, it was a truly dour couple of hours.

There used to be a Buzz Lightyear animated cartoon I watched when I was a kid, back in 2000-01. It was Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and I never had any problems disassociating it with Toy Story.

Ah yes, I did forget about that, haven’t seen it since I was a kid. If I recall correctly, the first movie was pretty good, and the second pretty bad. But it was a long time ago

Angsty teenage revenge drama? That was always a hard pass. And I had no idea it got three seasons.
