Off Topic: Some modern movies.

The movies from my childhood always had and ending where good triumphed over bad or evil. I am seeing more and more movies today where evil wins, that bothers me. May be the directors are trying to deliver some complex message. I know in real life, evil often wins, but when watching a random movie, I don't want to see that end.

Who apparently thinks that the Enterprise engineering spaces brews watered down rice beer, which is why Budweiser got a product placement in the bar scene.

Today's Hollywood, and especially that hack, JJ Abrams, has no clue about Star Trek. Their last escapade illustrated that in no uncertain terms.

I would rather gouge out my eyeballs than see another rape of the Star Trek universe from that idiot, Abrams.

On top of it, like all Hollywood knows these days, it's a reboot of Khan. Does anybody in Hollywood have any imagination?

Apparently not. Especially not ignorant, insipid, stupid, JJ Abrams.

Hey! Hollywood! Let's destroy the Star Trek universe. Good work, boys!
