And the average Trek fan will hate it casue they are screwing with the established timeline.

Woah, Trek has an established time line? It seems to shift and bend as the writers see fit (like that awful Enterprise...).

There is a way to fix all of the time line muck ups. But no one will ever be brave enough to do it. Like I said, hire Peter Jackson and tell him to fix Star Trek.... then leave him to do his job.

J. Michael Straczynski could do a damn fine job too, though he might kill himself in the process.

That's just scary...

but yeah, that's only every 7 years that Kirk & Spock would hook up. No wonder Kirk was chasing so much intergalactic tail between those times! hahaha

Yes, it does to a point. And screwing with it has never led to much success, as shown by the pitiful ratings Enterprise got. After people got over the titilation of a hot Vulcan babe being slathered with gel in the decontamination booth, the series kind of petered out.

I sware to God if Superman has a giant spider in it, I will kill have to kill some...

Years ago when they first started to work on a new Superman story the creative consultant they brought on board was the fat dude who wrote and directed Clerks. I recently watched an HBO special of some of his speaking engagements and I have to say that he is one funny dude with some really interesting stories. One such story was about this producer who wanted giant spiders in superman. The superman gig fell through but this same produce went on to produce the abissmal Will Smith movie Wild Wild West. And guess what, it had a giant metal spider.

So who knows what kind of movie Superman will turn out to be. I am suprised that Superman wasn't made out to be a black gay man who grew up hating his father in an anti-social geo-political family.

I do have a question though, why is it that the Gay community always tries to promote that super hero's such as Superman, Batman, and such are gay? Superman is NOT gay, and while the Adam West version of Batman might be open to interpitation, the most recent Batman movie clearly proves that Batman is not gay. (They got us on Robin though, theres no getting away from that one.)

Spiderman is also not gay, strange and quite possibly a virgin, but most definatly not gay.

But back onto topic about Star Trek. If they do go ahead and make this "new" movie, as they are indicating they are planning to do, then all hope for a successful restart of the franchise is in question. Quite frankly they dropped the ball with Enterprise and UPN. (Don't get me started on UPN.)

Enterprise proved that there was no fan interest in a pre-TOS series or movie. Yet here we are, reading about some dumb *** yuppy produce trying to make what is essincially a pre-TOS series with TOS characters. This is without a doubt, one of the dummest dip**** things any one in hollywood has ever concieved of and the fact that they are seemingly going ahead with this project just proves that hollywood, especially Paramount Pictures, is way the hell out of touch with those who would be, and quite possibly are, its target audiance. WE DON'T WANT A REMAKE OF TOS! Give us something new, not something old made into something new.

So... let them produce the movie, let them fail horribly at it, and let them learn their lesson because of the few hundred million or more dollars they lost. Not like we lose anything.
