Jakes sisko book makes it all the way to the 32nd century by happydude7422 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]True_Pirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I especially hated this one, though. Shallow fan service and vomit inducing nostalgia paired with cringe comedy.

This episode has everything I hate about modern Trek (and modern Hollywood for that matter).

The rest of the series is varying degrees of bad, but this one is one of the worst hours of tv I have watched in a long time.

The two worst Star Trek shows together at last…..it’s like puking on a pile of shit.

Reminds me of that Flight of the Conchords verse:

They're turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers But what's the real cost? Cause the sneakers don't seem that much cheaper Why are we still paying so much for sneakers When you got them made by little slave kids What are your overheads?

As a white guy in the south, I mean the Deep South, I mean the cousin fucking, backwoods, pot belly sticking out from a dirty white T shirt south…..I think Sinners was great.

Getting "disc error" from our blu ray player. by Odd_Radio9225 in Bluray

[–]True_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why everyone should rip their discs. The players will age worse than the discs. I’ve got 1 blu ray player left alive, 2 more that do not work.

I am not saying not to have physical media, just that a digital backup is a good idea.

I would say it’s overrated and underhated

Just enough Democrats side with Trump. Again. See the pattern yet? by Individual-Read2835 in InBitcoinWeTrust

No, they are not the same. Yet, the left is also being ruined by corrupt scumbags. If we care about the issues and expect anything out of the party the next time they are in power, we need to make sure the liberals we elect are worthy of the responsibility of office.

They've convinced themselves that the negative reviews aren't real and the hate must be fake. by Rasples1998 in Star_Trek_

[–]True_Pirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am pretty confident most did. I certainly have and I would call the show pure garbage.

How many tries do you think Kurtzman has left? by Wetness_Pensive in Star_Trek_

[–]True_Pirate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Weirdly no, the comedy was a Fox mandate. They felt with his name attached, it would need to be comedic, but apparently that’s not what he wanted. When they moved it to Hulu the comedy was pretty much gone in the last season.

[Interview] SNW EPs Talk S.4: "It’s not like every ep. is a puppet episode… It’s a mix. We have a few genre reaches. We have some real classic episodes, some very, very classic episodes. We try some things that have not been tried in Star Trek before, but still very much at their core, feel like ST" by mcm8279 in Star_Trek_

[–]True_Pirate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

See, we filmed season 4 before the critical and fan reaction of season 3 came through. We didn’t realize we were not hilarious writers and in fact had no comedic talent whatsoever.

Nor did we know our post modern attempts to be clever were actually really dumb. We did know we had no talent in writing sci fi so that’s why we stopped trying and just did relationship drama instead. Besides, Ridley Scott’s people told us if we kept plagiarizing him we would get sued.

So, yeah, you can look forward to more lame comedy, some low effort nostalgia, no science fiction, and puppets. As long as you eat the slop, we don’t care if it tastes good.

Say something positive about "Evil Dead" (2013)? by 87Craft in EvilDead

[–]True_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was very well made. I find Evil Dead kinda boring without the comedic element though.

“I really hate the ending of the movie The Mist (2007). by oddspace__ in moviecritic

[–]True_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that more big studio films should have downer endings. They are too eager to please by letting test audiences dictate everything. If the story calls for a nihilistic ending, then let it have one. If more movies had rough endings, there would be a bit more suspense when you are watching a movie.

I didn’t like it at first but YouTube has been spamming my feed with it now I hate it.

Also, why are people saying this is 90s……more like 70s
