Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer Analysis – Someone Wants Vengeance

Let’s start with the voice over, which is provide by the film’s villain (played by Benedict Cumberbatch):

You think your world is safe? It is an illusion. A comforting lie told to protect you. Enjoy these final moments of peace for I have returned to have my vengeance.

….

So shall we begin?

Firstly, this voice over appears to confirm that “vengeance” is a theme of the film. As reported by TrekMovie.com “Star Trek: Vengeance” was considered as a possible title for the film. Secondly, he is saying he has…

Christopher Nolan on ‘Man of Steel’

Christopher Nolan on ‘Man of Steel’
Indie Wire: The Playlist

“It’s very much Zack’s film and I think people are going to love what he’s done,” he continued. “I think it’s really remarkable to take on that character. Superman is a completely different character than Batman. So you can’t in anyway use the same template. But David Goyer had this, I thought, brilliant way to make Superman relatable and relevant for his audience. Zack has built on that and I think it’s incredible what he’s putting together. He’s got a lot of finishing to do on that. Superman is the biggest comic book character of them all and he needs the biggest possible movie version…

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2 Theater Event

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2 Theater Event

Nothing has warmed this nerd’s heart in the last couple of months quite as much as the Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2 Theater Event. It was with much glee and enjoyment that I sat in the theater this past Thursday night and watched the Enterprise D and her crew soar around the cosmos in HD.

Behind the Scenes

First up was a behind the scenes look at the remastering process. To sum up, it’s a long and tedious process. This is not quite the same as remastering Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS) in HD. It’s sort of funny how things work out, but even though the technology used…

The Man of Steel in Cuffs?

The Man of Steel in Cuffs?
HeyUGuys

The first teaser trailers hit back in the summer, and were nothing short of immense. And with the full-length trailer expected to be attached to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, we’ve now got a brilliant new poster for the epic blockbuster.

With two trailers that I’m really looking forward to — this being one of them — debuting in front of The Hobbit, and of course the attraction of The Hobbit itself, I’m sorely tempted to do the midnight premier thing (won’t that be a zoo?).

Anyway, what’s with these crazy cuffs? Who puts the Man of Steel in cuffs? Can’t he just snap them. What on…

‘Fringe’ Finale Gets a Title

‘Fringe’ Finale Gets a Title
Matt Webb Mitovich - TV Line

The cast and producers of Fox’s Fringe gathered at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver on Saturday night to celebrate the Warner Bros. TV series’ 100th — and final — episode. And now we have a title for that ultimate hour.

“It is called ‘An Enemy of Fate,’” series boss J.H. Wyman shared with TVLine on the red carpet.

...

“It’s definitely the biggest season finale we’ve ever had,” Wyman promised. “It’s the most expensive…. It’s massive, really big. I wanted to go out like, ‘Wow, how did they do that?’”

Fringe begins it’s final run on December 7. This gives me a mixture of…

How ‘Thor’ Should have Ended

How ‘Thor’ Should have Ended

I know this has been online for a while, but I don’t always keep up with the “How it Should Have Ended” videos like I should — I mean really, I should keep up with them because I don’t think I’ve seen one yet that wasn’t hysterical. It’s espeically hysterical on movies that had you scratching your head already, like Thor did for me.

 

‘Revenge of the Sith’ as Great Work of Art

‘Revenge of the Sith’ as Great Work of Art
Bleeding Cool

Yes, the long finale of Revenge of the Sith has more inherent artistic value, emotional power, and global impact than anything by the artists you name. It’s because the art world has flat-lined and become an echo chamber of received opinion and toxic over-praise. It’s like the emperor’s new clothes—people are too intimidated to admit what they secretly think or what they might think with their blinders off.

Uh, what?!?

Lucas called this fierce fight [at the climax of Sith] between Anakin Skywalker and his Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi “the turning point of the whole series.” Fire…

How ‘Looper’ Should Have Ended

The guys over at How It Should Have Ended have done it again. They think perhaps Looper should have ended differently than it did.

Also, there might be some other time-traveling guests in this epsiode.

Have fun!

I’ll pass, thanks.
