This is why I supported a Tarantino Star Trek, to forever tarnish the brand with violence and language so much that Disney would be afraid to add it to their monolithic catalog of IPs

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 23 points 11 months ago

Don't lie. You just wanna see T'Pol's feet.

Cause that's all that's guaranteed from a Tarantino flick.

"Quinton, why is 30% of the film close up shots of T'Pol rubbing her feet in de-conn?"

[-] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Up until your comment I was really against a Tarantino film.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

"So I can cast myself as the de-conn, of course."

[-] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 7 points 11 months ago

They could always bring back Touchstone to compensate.

[-] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Modern Disney doesn't care. They're releasing Deadpool 3 rated R next year, and Echo in January is TV-MA.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

Disney plus in the UK has that Pam and Tommy show featuring a talking erect penis.

Have fun with that, kiddywinks.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Disney has always released r rated movies. They have specific studio brands for that stuff.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 11 months ago

Disney already owns Pulp Fiction.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm with you, except he wanted to remake Yesterday's Enterprise, and that would have been a travesty.

I used to work as an assistant editor for Fox Channel in Argentina many many years ago. And there was this trailer for a star trek movie that had the name on text of the crew on the trailer and the scriptwriter wrote "Zulu" instead of Sulu in the script (my knowledge about star trek is limited to the memes of this community) so I complied and wrote Zulu on the trailer. Nobody else notice and was aired like that. the next day it aired some guy I have never seen on my life entered my island with my producer and the screenwriter and the guy was furious, asking me why I wrote the name wrong and telling me that they had been receiving calls from all latinamerica saying thay we were fucking stupid and had to pull off the trailer from air. I show him the script as it came to me in the email and the screenwriter facepalmed in shame. They asked me to correct the name and re send the traileds asap. After thay I learned thay the guy was like the director of costumers relationship and the poor screenwriter was demoted and transferred to write the trailer of the cooking channel.

hey nice story! thanks for sharing

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 28 points 11 months ago

JJ Abrams already directed three star trek movies

I mean, I'm not really a fan of them, but it is what it is

[-] FoolishBrainiac@beehaw.org 18 points 11 months ago

*directed two Star Trek movies.

Beyond was directed by Justin Lin which is why it was better than the JJ movies

[-] negativenull@startrek.website 10 points 11 months ago

As well as Star Wars movies

[-] TeenieBopper@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I mean, the first one was a fun popcorn flick. Into Darkness was... Eh, not the worst movie I've ever seen. I can't adequately judge Beyond because it came out about three months after my dad died (who introduced me to Trek and sci-fi in general) and he would have loved the ending.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Beyond isn't worth thinking about.

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

But I honestly love the Bangs and shouting! That sequence was great!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

My dad was a film historian, and there have been so many discoveries and so much movie news he would have loved to know about since he died. I think about that every time something new in the classic movie world comes up.

[-] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

Didn't direct beyond. And it's by far the best of the Kelvin films.

[-] Lucien@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but still, fuck JJ Abrams and his abominations

[-] radix@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Must go faster? She can't take much more of this, Captain. I've got a bad feeling about this.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

Somehow, Khan has returned

[-] Whayle@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

Obviously it would be Scotty, not Sulu!

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Sulu's the one driving the ship, Scotty just hangs out by the engines and whacks them with a wrench occasionally.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 months ago

With a bottle of very old scotch in hand.

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Going above warp 10 is definitely not recommended.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

CBS giving up their baby? Not until it's been milked completely dry.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

If Disney acquired it, it would be because they bought Paramount.

[-] bleistift2@feddit.de 13 points 11 months ago

Disney would never have allowed Kirk to kiss Uhura.

[-] Doug@midwest.social 5 points 11 months ago

You mean the Disney that conservative groups got mad at because two women had a split second "kiss" in a movie, or the Disney that made Song of the South?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

Or the Disney that didn’t let the cops be gay in Gravity Falls, or the Disney that doesn’t let gays in Pixar films, or the Disney that relegated Finn to a minor character for being black

[-] Doug@midwest.social 8 points 11 months ago

Didn't watch Gravity Falls but as far as I knew they were confirmed gay, admittedly in the finale.

There was also a gay cop in Onward

I also don't agree that Finn was a minor character, he was a regular focal point in two movies much to the annoyance of the same conservative groups.

I'm by no means suggesting Disney is anywhere in the neighborhood of acceptable. Gay characters have a tendency to be tiny roles or unpromoted movies (I watch a lot of movies and I hadn't seen anything for Strange World before it released). I'm just saying "never" is probably inaccurate for modern Disney.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

Don't forget the Disney that sent a Terminator after Owl House.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Such a good show but they got a gay relationship and AFAIK it was cancelled for having a plot which the exec thought wouldn’t work in a cartoon

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

First same sex kiss between two main characters in a Disney property. Then "the show doesn't really fit our brand"

it was amidst COVID cuts, sure, but probably an easy win for some exec to axe.

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Um, there was a gay couple in Lightyear. That's a Pixar film.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago
[-] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

This news article does not change the simple fact that there was a gay couple in Lightyear - a Pixar film.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

So Disney has been the Borg this whole time.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Misters Chekov, fire butt torpedoes.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago

Misters Chekov Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up? Because THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER.

[-] Jesus_666@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago

Misters Chekov Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up?

Beverly Crusher would.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Why do we give Crusher so much shit for her ghostly dalliance, but Yar gets off scott free, when she had full on sex with an android that was only a couple months old from his perspective?

And don't tell me that it's because Rick Berman showed up on set in his true form to kill her off.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Nah just the regular force ghost

[-] DontMakeItTim@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Disney is not in a position to be acquiring large properties right now. Maybe Amazon is interested?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago

What, so they can lock it behind the Star Trek Plus channel, just 4.99 a month on top of Amazon Prime.

Now with extra targeted adverts!
