(btw, i'm being very very sarcastic….i saw this [look an MTV exclusive no less!] one still from the movie [or is it possibly a 'posed' shot?] and thought i could just HEAR the…static-ness, the lifelessness of it…it just feels 'ug')
Don't know if I qualify as a trekie, but I've enjoyed Star Trek in most of its incarnations, particularly the next generation.
I was always struck by the impressive photography on Generations too, it sets it apart from the others in that respect. Gets me thinking that there must be other examples out there of cinematic artistry in films that you wouldn't expect to have that quality to them..but I can't think of any right at the moment – too tired and too busy!
Ditto with Kiley's comment, glad you're in the land of the living once again – you had us worried there for a mo.
I've seen the stills now, but am reserving judgement. I never got into Lost but thought that JJ Abrams produced by far the most exciting installment of the Mission Impossible series. Also throughly enjoyed Colverfield too.
Did you realise that your video cuts out before you've finished? Maybe your sickness is to blame!
What I liked about M:I 3 was the fact that it added a dimension of human peril. After the 'I'll count to 10' pre-credits intro I was hooked on the first viewing, and a lot of that tension was maintained on a second viewing. I also appreciated how they tried to explain the ridiculous face mask device that Woo introduced in M:I 2 And how great to leave the final face off to the girl rather than Tom!
Philip Seymour Hoffman is great at playing the “arrogant bully”-type character (as I'll describe it), thus making him a great villain in this movie. This attitude he brings to the role seems to be carried over from “Punch Drunk Love” – another character of his that I enjoyed.
And Jett probably didn't realize it – who knows how bad his eyesight may be, along with the rest of body shutting down due to his old age!

[...] However the film itself might turn out, the new Trek picture is shaping up to a triumph of production design, (though I’m not too sure about the iBridge; but that is balanced out by those fantastic looming structures seen in the hazy distance of the Iowa horizon). [...]

Another string to your Bow Jet hope your well Del Strain Comedian-Writer,hope your Exibition and book are going well awe the best Del.
You can tell just by looking at the cast that this is going to look like a “made-for-tv” movie about Star Trek. Sort of like “90210″ in space.
I like the idea of the movie, but you're right, it has the stench of failure written all over it.
Hey Del – nice to hear from ya! To see Del in action go here: http://www.constantcomedy.com/Video.aspx?id=326
