So with that amazing resume, the powers-that-be at Paramount – who have proven that they no longer have any understanding about their own Star Trek property – decided that Orci would be ideal to bring the next Star Trek film to theaters. I thought things were bad enough when J.J. "I love lens flares more than content" Abrams was in the director's seat. But this time 'round he's strictly producing, so he's called on his go-to guy, Orci. You can read all about it HERE.
Orci and Abrams working out how to crap on yet another Trek movie. |
It should be noted that when Orci was met with criticism of Into Darkness on Trekmovie.com, he maturely replied with this:
"STID has infinetly [sic] more social commentary than Raiders in every Universe, and I say that with Harrison Ford being a friend. You lose credibility big time when you don’t honestly engage with the FUCKING WRITER OF THE MOVIE ASKING YOU AN HONEST QUESTION. You prove the cliche of shitty fans. And rude in the process. So, as Simon Pegg would say: FUCK OFF!"
So Orci's idea of engaging with Star Trek fans is "fuck off". He could have said nothing or he could have been diplomatic. But instead, he went straight to DefCon 1 and the nuclear option.
As long as these clowns are in charge of Trek, I'll never spend a nickel on a ticket or DVD. Paramount has fooled me twice. now. And while I'm not the brightest guy in the room, even I get it after that many slaps. Maybe there will be a Star Trek down the road that doesn't insult our intelligence by telling us that "cold fusion" has something to do with making things really, really cold, or that Khan is LITERALLY Superman with super-strength and the power of flight.
If you liked Star Trek Into Darkness, then good for you, you're entitled to your opinion and you certainly weren't alone. Sometimes we forget that these are just movies and not a cure for cancer.
Though apparently, now you can use Khan's "magic blood" to cure that!

you liked Star Trek Into Darkness, then good for you, you're entitled
to that opinion and you weren't alone. It's good to remember that a
movie is just a distraction from other things in life sometimes - it's
not oxygen.

Abrams has a disturbingly penis-shaped nose.
ReplyDeleteRoberto Orci sounds like a bit of a douche, though what's worse he's apparently a lazy writer (the only reason I can find that magic blood plays a role in not only Star Trek: Into Darkness but The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as well). That being said, he's still producing Star Trek 3, so there's still a chance his suckiness will continue to taint the production.
