I don't get it. What is so special about this?
@scrapplejoe: I like mine as much as ever, but then I travel a lot for work. If I didn't live on the road I maybe I would feel differently.
Seriously, this could be pretty awesome.
My first thought upon seeing this photo is to shoot angry birds at it.
Four hour battery=Dealbreaker
Now, if VLC could be integrated with Dropbox that would be fantastic.
@ThaLza: The Roots have been around since the early 90's and Ms. Grey is 21. Genius.
@StratfordX: Thank you thank you thank you! I can't tell you how much I have longed for the prestigious Troll Award. And congratulations back to you for having the authority to say so. Oh, and thank you for the mental health diagnosis, I will start medicating right way.
I was discussing this review as it fits in a larger context. I usually think of a troll as someone who posts a comment completely off-topic, or stuff like "stfu u r a looser poopyhead."
One could make an argument that posting a reply to a comment thread that only insults the original commenter (um, calling them a troll and autistic?) would also be a sufficient qualifier of trollism.
God forbid someone having a contrary opinion.
@thevarrior: Dude, I used the word "highbrow" as a joke. I'm honestly not trying to be pretentious, I just want to see better movies. It would be nice if other critics and moviegoers demanded better movies too, but whatever. If you enjoyed the movie, good for you. I wish you the very best.
@johnnyichiban: I'm not that biggest Kurosawa fan in the world, but he did make some good movies. Let me guess, Kurosawa was the only Criterion director you could think of. I'm just engaging a debate on the merits of contemporary movies, if you disagree that's fine. If you think I'm elitist, whatever, perhaps you have a point. Why exactly am I a moron for articulating an opinion?
@Pope John Peeps II: Yeah, I am quite certain that these so called "critics" are watching it differently than I am. After "The Dark Knight" and "Star Trek" I think I have learned my lesson when it comes to listening to them. It's fine; I will save money by queuing up Criterion movies on Netflix and watching the kind of movies I like from the comfort of my home. I keep hoping for a new, decent science fiction or comic book movie to be made, but I've given up. "2001" "Blade Runner" and a few others are all I get I guess.
@Pope John Peeps II: Science? Ha! That's funny. I wasn't speaking of "right and wrong" I was talking about taste and opinion. You may disagree, and a majority of people may disagree, but that is not going to invalidate my point. So much of what is popular (movies, TV shows, music, politics) is of such low quality that I don't give too much credence to popularity. I know my taste is usually contrary to most. At times, yes, it gives me a false sense of superiority (something I honestly would rather not foster) but it usually just makes me depressed that so many people enjoy such garbage. And Star Trek really did suck. Maybe ten years from now you will see in again and know that. By the way, I'm not a "Trekkie."
What I don't understand is how the new Star Trek POS got rave reviews yet this is getting shredded by the critics. By their description, it sounds like the same movie to me. Overblown special effects with no plot, bad acting, bad dialogue, one-dimensional characters, and an uninspired score. Yep, that was the Star Trek I saw.
@AaliyahCharybdis: No, some of us just didn't like the movie. Call it snobbery if you want to, but garbage is garbage. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm sure you'll love "Transformers" as well.
@aboriginal: Oh, I am very clear on why I hated it. I'm not a Trekkie, at all, and could give a shit about the "continuity." I hated it because it was a bad movie. Bad writing, shot framing, editing, acting, and score. Not even the special effects impressed me with its complete lack of style. Most people wanted a stupid "whizz, bang, bow" movie and that is what they got.
I really don't understand what is wrong with people and their taste in movies. It sucked. It sucked as a stand alone movie, and it sucked compared to anything else in the Star Trek franchise. It was a bad movie full of CGI bullshit and caricatures of old characters. The likes of Roland Emmerich, JJ Abrams, and Micheal Bay have taken modern cinema to new lows, and few people seem to even notice.
@spiritkittykat: That is what I find sad. We are so inundated with adversing that we barely even notice anymore. I find it sad that we so lack in imagination that (as opposed to the original series or the other movies) we can no longer envision a universe without money, corporate logos, and the police state. Product placement cheapens anything we would like to call art.
@BigFatPussyCat: The cotton gin led to the expansion of slavery.
GM wheat? Are you kidding?
Pasterurization led to the extreme overuse of dairy in our society, with effects to our health and planet.

Technology has led to rampant overpopulation, from which epidemics such as polio emerge.
@Roklimber: I will grant you validity regarding the misuse of science (I could get into more details as to why I disagree, but this is a sci-fi blog, whatever) but you think religion is simple because you behold it as such. I am not even a religious person, but I find the study of religion fascinating BECAUSE of its depth. Yes, there are many simple minded, fundamentalist zealots out there, but if you use them to dismiss ALL religious thought you are committing a fallacy.
