The new Star Trek movie

[Loveshack]

Silver Surfer = perfect male body; with the added bonus of not having that creepy dangly thing between the legs.

That certainly would have made for a very different comic.

It has the Mr. Potatohead quality about it. Like Evolution, God, Odin, etc created man and went: "It needs something... I just stick this there." BLOP!
Kinda like when your neighbor adds a tool shed and doesn't factor in the aesthetics. Yeah it's functional but it's a eyesore. 

I learn more about the way women think from this board than anywhere else.  Like how you all hate sex.

I like sex, I just think the penis looks odd.

*nods*

I just think the penis looks odd.

The leading reason that I will never be gay and why I can't enjoy guy on girl porn.

I can't speak for the rest of the movie-going public, but when I see something so blatantly obvious shoehorned into a film, I am personally insulted that the advertising industry thinks so little of me as a consumer that they honestly expect me to be swayed by such thoughtless, blatant, and poorly-contrived advertising.  It makes me want to go out of my way to not buy their products because I don't want to give money to people who have essentially called me a slack-jawed hick by way of the methods they use to try to entice me.  I really feel bad for anyone who watched that movie and sincerely thought to themselves, "I want that there tell-O-phone like that one that there Cap'n Kirk feller' used!  H'yuk!"

Derail here, but you don't understand advertising/marketing at all.

Sorry, but the "do they really think I'll be swayed??" argument is a big pet peeve of mine. As if it were really that simplistic.

Oh that's not it at all. We like sex but IT looks like it was designed after the fact. It doesn't have a good feng shui feel to it.

Kinda like mismatched furniture. Sure the Plaid Laz-E-Boy is comfy but it looks odd in the middle of the room.

In my experience, most women do. 

gotta like the UV wimmens posting that they like sex :devilish: :devilish: :devilish:

That's why you buy a slipcover for it.  (Preferably one that glows in the dark!)

Finally saw this today (gotta love a theater to yourself). Loved it.

Not going to get into the product placement (except to say I'd MUCH rather see them order a name brand beer than say "gimme a beer" - as if there's only one kind - which is entirely unrealistic.)

But anyway, I thought it was great the way they played with the future, and can now move forward unimpeded, while still respecting what "was" (or in this case, "will be"). I wasn't bothered by the more "military" and "action" aspect (I'm assuming that's what LS meant by the Starship Troopers comparison). Star Trek has been moving in that direction a looong time (for example, "military rank" played a MUCH bigger part in TNG than it did in TOS - and DS9 definitely took Trek "action" to a new level in the later seasons).

At first, the Uhura/Spock thing bugged me some, but then I realize by the end that it clearly put the exclamation point on the "same, but different" aspect they were going for. Nicely done.

Easily the best Trek movie since Kahn.
