Thanks for letting us know you have no idea what you're talking about. Reporter's failures had nothing to do with them baing paid too much. Yeah, they screwed up, but in a completely different way and for different reasons than bankers. Thanks for playing, enjoy the home game.
This is a poorly written, self-contradictary article. You claim it made way for countless other SF and then deny it led to Star Wars. Why? Just 'cause. You fail to take into account the era in which it was created, you baldly state that it didn't cause an uproar in the South and give no evidence that that is true.
You should stick to reviewing the arthouse movies that no-one but you will ever see. At least then you can seem like you have some idea of what you're talking about.
You can not keep on hitting the wealthy.
That is funny coming right after
Unfortunately, many never understood this.
You don't understand it. "The wealthy" aren't being "hit". There's a cap at a little over 100K.
You're flat out wrong and in so many ways it isn't worth trying to respond point by point.
You know, I had a long point by point response for you, but it is full of spoilers and yours were bad enough for a movie that just came out. I'll simply state my conclusion. You were looking for things to dislike and you weren't paying attention.
Before dope and after
So when's your dividing line? What about the 70s when they "were all on speed"? What kind of a variable are you using to depreciate the improvements in medicine and diet? The improvements in training and travel? Vitamins? Rules changes? Equpiment improvements? Integration? Night games?
You're projecting. You seriously misinterpret the society of Star Trek.
That core you speak of is still there, just surrounded by the effects.
Have you seen the movie? Bones is hardly neglected, he has tons to do and is integral to the plot. You have to remember, the relationships are just forming in this movie while on the original series they were assumed to have been crewmates for awhile. Of course you won't have exactly the same chemistries yet. To have him any more involved in the movie, you'd end up with "Bones McCoy", a futuristic version of Quincy.
I've seen the movie three times now. I've seen it with people who are already Trek fans and people who've never cared much for it. I've seen it with people in their 20s, 40s and 60s. Everyone has loved this movie. I'd say it is the best Trek movie yet.
When Zacharek says "the actors so comfortably slip into the outlines of the show's original characters, capturing their essence instead of just impersonating them", this is exactly how I've been describing the movie to people. They understand the essence of the show and capture it beautifully. There are plenty of nods to the original show, especially in the sound effects used, but they never go overboard with it.
The film will give us the back story of the original series, and show how its three principles got themselves onto what might be (along with Noah’s Ark and the Titanic) the most famous vehicle in history: the starship Enterprise.
I'm sorry, but no. It doesn't. That's not the film, perhaps you should wait and see it before you start talking about the story. I've seen it and isn't what you think it is.
I voted for Nader.
Wow, you just keep revealing yourself to be less and less sane. And stupid. You voted for Nader? Now THAT is the sign of a gullible fool.
Oooh, sarcasm, never encountered that before. As for your claims of I have marched in civil rights demonstrations, I have been teargassed chasing Nazis out of DC, I was with the Impeachment Coalition for Reagan, Bush and Meese, I routinely demand that Obama or Pelosi Impeach Bush
I'm sure it is no more true than the rest of the crap you followed it up with. You're both a liar and an imbicille. You're delusional, racist and simply not very clever. I'm sure you'll have fun believing every conspiracy theory that comes along and I pity you for that a bit. Clearly you aren't smart enough to tell reality from this nonsense. It is a shame the internet makes it easier for you to yell this nonsense beyond the traditional streetcorned with your "The End Is Nigh" sign your ilk would normally carry.
Your understanding of economics couldn't fill a thimble.
about your designs on my money
There's no way your money is even under consideration here. Statistically it is highly unlikely that you make enough to fall into that category.
Of course, you picked as your screen name the name of a terrible president who helped start the Great Depression, so you aren't exactly demonstrating rational thought.
Still no birth certificate
Sure, except for the one that was shown. But, of course, you reject that because you're not right in the head. No matter what he showed you'd have a problem with it. You might just want to admit you're racist and a Republican asshole who'd be screaming to impeach any Democrat even though you were Oh, so quiet while the criminal Bush was in power.
I'm guessing you woke up, did your thing, fired up the computer, went to Salon, clicked on the letters to this story, and just shook your head at the crazies. Fun way to start the day, huh?
In essence, yes. And there was far too much crazy to respond to each.
You know, you could save a lot of time by just stating that you're a racist and anti-semite. Then you could get back to writing slashfic about you and Goering.
Please, just start hitting random keys and post the results, it'd make more sense than what you're posting now.
women are OVERREPRESENTED NOW in colleges as a percentage of the population bucinor
They really aren't.
