"Do You Believe Me Now?" by Jimmy Wayne.

 

I heard this at work, and nearly gasped out loud when he started singing the title line. :P

*Oh HELL no! The writers should be killed!, The next film better break them up, Nada...still not diggin' the smoochfest*

 

Call me crazy, but as a Trekker since the premier of TOS, I was somehow under the impression that Uhura had a huge secret crush on Kirk, and I was unpleasantly surprised by Spock/Uhura. I was really hoping for some Kirk/Uhura (especially when I saw the preview with Kirk & "an unknown female" in bed). :)

 

When I saw them "all kissy-face" in the transporter room, it made me kinda . I'm also wondering what will happen with Spock/Chappel (if anything). Oh well, different timeline/universe, different romances. As I said in another thread, maybe I'll get used to it eventually.

Well, there's one thing I won't need to see again to discuss - or be disgusted by: Spock/Uhura. Seeing them in the transporter room made me want to

 

What I was really hoping for was Kirk/Uhura, since she seemed (to me) to have a bit of a crush on Kirk (in "our" timeline). Oh well. I still liked the movie. :) Who knows? Maybe I'll get used to Spock/Uhura eventually.

 

I haven't discussed it much because of some of the hostility in some posts. That's something I try to avoid, even if it means staying away from threads, or entire sections, for days or weeks.

 

Man oh man, I can't wait for the DVD to come out so I can watch it 2 or 3 times in a row! :)

From an aluminum can for me, because I don't like drinking from plastic bottles, & Caffeine-free Diet Pepsi doesn't come in glass bottles.

I can't believe I forgot about this, but it's another thing that was annoying...

 

Click for Spoiler:

Obvious product placement! I liked the song playing during Kirk's "scenic drive", but the glaringly obvious Nokia product placement was distracting. I don't recall any product placement in other Trek movies.

I spotted that too and rolled my eyes at it. lol

 

 

Ok, even I, who loves this movie with a passion, thought that was silly.

See? We do agree on the movie! lol

 

 

lol at least on one thing anyway

Well we've sort of hijacked the thread.. but on more than one thing lol. Despite what Alterego might think, I liked the movie a whole lot. I just also have that "strict canonist" side of me too lol.

 

No problem, guys! I'm kind of a "strict canonist" myself, but the way things were presented in the movie, I don't have too many issues with the changes.

 

Hmm, I wonder if they'll do product placements for alien products in future movies? Yeah, it's late & I'm getting silly.

That's because very few of them took place on Earth.

 

What is interesting is Nokia stock droped since the movie came out.

 

Good point - something else I didn't think of.

 

That info about Nokia is kinda funny.

For anyone that voted before today, please vote again. The original poll was lost.

 

Just re-voted (5).

I voted yesterday & forgot to say I loved it! I was very surprised by that, since it's a reboot that changes things. One of the reasons it worked for me (besides the fact that it ROCKED!) is that they did a good job (imho) of explaining how & why things would be different from now on.

 

I saw a whopper of a spoiler (that wasn't hidden) a couple of days before I saw the movie...

 

 

...and thought I'd hate it because of that info. Much to my surprise, I understood why it was done (but I still don't like it), and I can get used to it eventually.

 

What's really cool is that now there's 2 versions of the Star Trek franchise (which looks like it'll continue), so we can pick one or the other, or enjoy both. It's a win/win situation.
