While we’re on the subject of Ms. Eve; As red blooded heterosexual man I was fairly pleased to see an attractive young lady in her bra and pants. As a film critic I can’t think of one single thing that the scene added to the plot. And as a 21st Century human being I found it gratuitous and a touch exploitative.
And who can't enjoy a little gratuitous exploitative cheesecake now and then?
Don’t really care about the movie, personally. The only thing I’m truly interested in this year is Ender’s Game, coming out November 1st. After that, there’s various other sci-fi movies.
Star Trek always has pretty women in the series. It’s integral to the franchise. In a nutshell, that’s who you’re fighting for. Roddenbery didn’t paint a gal on the side of the Enterprise, he put a bunch of em inside it.
Already read the spoilers for it. I’d wait to see it on dvd anyway.
Ender’s Game movie? Awesome... or awful? We can only hope.
It’s directed by Gavin Hood, who also directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which I thought is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. So yeah, I’m quite worried at how badly the movie could be butchered by him.
Yaaawwwnnnnnnnn........scratching my JJ hole......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I don't get that sentence, global communication was already old when my Welsh fiance called her parents in Swansea to tell them who shot JR so that they would know in advance, in 1980.
More on the El Paso born Gene Roddenberry.
“In the Air Force, from 1941 to 1945, he piloted a B-17 Flying Fortress on 89 missions, including Guadalcanal and Bougainvillea. Among his several decorations were the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. As a pilot for Pan American after the war, Roddenberry crashed his plane in the Syrian desert. Only eight of the flight’s 46 passengers survived.
He joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1949, where he obtained the rank of sergeant and was department spokesman and speachwriter for Chief William H. Parker. While with LAPD, Roddenberry began writing and selling scripts for television productions, including “Dragnet,” “Naked City,” “The U.S. Steel Hour,” and “Goodyear Theater.”
He left LAPD in 1953 to pursue screenwriting full time. Within a just a few years, Roddenberry won an Emmy as head writer for “Have Gun, Will Travel.” The series was a western in which Richard Boone played Paladin, a different kind of cowboy good guy who wore black, got paid to do his good deeds despite an independent streak in his thoughts and actions, and contempt for his rich employers.
From 1960 to 1964, Roddenberry produced “The Lieutenant,” which is said to have inspired the classic toy, “G.I. Joe.” His greatest fame, however, comes from his creation of the classic TV series, “Star Trek.”
As a fan of science-fiction, Roddenberry saw similarities between space explorers and American pioneers. He envisioned a science-fiction series for television that, like the westerns he wrote, would have continuing characters. At the time he conceived it in 1963, this would have been a first for TV. Based on the popular show, “Wagon Train,” Roddenberry called it a “wagon train to the stars,” or a “star trek.”
The 1st pic looks like they’re doing a remake of “Blade Runner.” Too bad this isn’t a real Trek movie.
I agree. One of the worst movies ever..and not even the bootleg version of it could save the wretch.
It’s such a good movie that it gave him a headache.
Can’t beat that!
One tires of Freepers who criticize movies they haven’t seen, while proudly declaring they haven’t “wasted their money” on a film since Hatari!
The first one was great and this sounds darn good.
Is there anything more pathetic than a modern man who has to give 3 varying reactions to seeing a woman in her underwear, to cover all his politically correct bases?
When the audiance starts to doze off show a liitle skin, it works most of the time.
I’ll wait until its free.
