Thank you OP. Thank you for proving once again the idiocy of fanboyism.
This movie is going to be a spectacular event, a testament to the visual arts technology of our age, and an action film the equal of the Matrix or Die Hard. But no, you can't just sit back an enjoy it, because you're rooted in the belief that a crappy Mid-60s TV show shall never be surpassed.
Reality check Uncomparative... William Shatner was perhaps the very WORST actor in the original Star Trek, a man who's only talents are in just how untalented his is, and how serious he takes himself despite that fact. And the original Enterprise was an undetailed hunk of plastic and foam suspended by poorly masked wire. That JJ Abrams and Paramount are working to update this old relic is a good thing, because TOS sucks so horribly as a show, but the story is worth saving.
You think we should boycott a perfectly good film just because you believe nobody should tamper with your old show. This is why I fucking hate fanboys. Them making this movie doesn't suddenly make your DVDs of TOS disappear. JJ Abrams using Chris Pine as Kirk doesn't supernaturally replace all of Shatner's scenes with the new actor, nor will your discs suddenly show the Enterprise as a well-rendered 3D model instead of that ivory/tan hunk of plastic. You get to keep your original series, so let us have our new material. Our new Star Trek does not deprive you of your old one.
Abrams and Paramount go to such absurd lengths to please the fanboys, preserving the story and look, but do you appreciate it? No. You sit on the internet and *****, and ask people to boycott a film because it doesn't please you. Well nothing can ever please a fanboy, so shut the hell up and let the rest of us enjoy the fucking show!
