Star Trek, Tarantino-style

I would like to point out that Tarentino is not the problem,. Abrams is.

Let's face facts Tarentino has won Academy Awards and Bafta awards for the writing of his films. And he directed Christoph Waltz who won the Academy Award twice for films that Tarentino directed.

His stuff makes money and gets good critical response.

Tarentino would be no wear without the acting talent of Willis, Travolta, Jackson, and Thurman

'No wear' ?

Is that an autocorrect on a phone ?

 

You missed Michael Bowen, James Parks, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel and Michael Madsen.  It only goes to prove that he has a good eye for the acting talent to use.

I went back in time to fix it.

 

Tarentino is too violent.  Too bad the guy who directed Sergeant Deadhead isn't around.

I'm against this and any other Trek properties just because I want the whining to stop.  Tarentino is too violent.  Abrams is too lens flare-y.  The new Klingons are ridiculous.  The old Klingons are ridiculous.  Chris Pine as Kirk is the worst.  Captain Archer is the worst.  Captain Janeway is the worst.  Shatner's hairpiece is the worst.

 

Seriously after all the complaining you'd think people would be willing to give a new director a shot.  Tarentino films are hardly more violent than most action movies; the only difference is that he doesn't gloss over or glorify it.  He also has a gift for dialogue and character driven plots.  I'd want to find out more before fully supporting the effort, but I wouldn't instantly rule out a Tarantino Trek.

I dunno, I think Q is very talented, and he Knows genre though I do get the giggles: "OK! We're the away team, so code names from here on out out!" "You! you're mister pink" Spock" Why do I have to be mister pink?" "The red shirt guy, no disresepect Cavavano, gets to be Mr. Red....:winkgrin:
