[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] You do know that the movie studio execs have more to say about trailer contents than the director, right? If you want to be remotely fair, you'd have to compare it to other trailers in the same genre. For instance, I hated 50% of the trailer for "First Contact" (you're travelers on some kind of star trek!), and Sunshine felt really hammy (stupid "Lux Aeterna" music spam), while becoming my favorite little indie gem of that year. Every Lucasfilm-movie trailer ever has been a jumbled mess of sounds and flashes because they like their Ben Burtt and John Williams too much and must shove everything in at once, but not all Lucasfilm movies have sucked, I think you'd agree. No one's denying that this new movie's key demographic is the high school/college age span, and we're not going to see any decapitations or spurting arteries in this picture (which makes me wonder how the hell "The Undiscovered Country" got off the ground. "Get Chang!"-*aaghagharlb*), but somehow I've found that [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY_gVRTYdyI]even smelly PG-10 movies can work sometimes.[/URL] I've always thought that Kirk's reputation as a "swashbuckler" in TOS was exaggerated, I saw him more often sitting in the chair and brood than taking risks. But in "ST: TMP" he was a rabid belligerent nutjob the whole first half-hour. If I'd make a cadet out of [i]that guy[/i], I'd make someone with piss and vinegar coming out the ears too. And again, this trailer is picking out four Kirk-highlights from a 2 hour movie. Van, you're using the word "angst" a lot in conjunction with new Kirk. As far as I know, angsty kids of the Linkin Park-type are usually without influence, self-esteem or resolve in their family/school/tabernacle, they're whiny victims (like Gladiator-Commodus or Padawan Anakin). Generation Y-ME. I think the word you're looking for is "cocky", which would fit a young Kirk pretty well. Obviously the symbolic element of the motorbike is meant to make us think about Brando and James Dean, mavericks and all that, but it doesn't have to mean Kirk cuts his arms and dreams of kicking the school jocks' asses. But of course, I suppose you'd [URL=http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/205/Pissant.jpg]rather have this cadet in charge.[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
