i quite enjoyed his reboot of star trek. It had the fun of the old series without eny of the po-faced pompus self importance of the follow-ups.

It was rather fluffy though.


If they can stay true to the feel, chuck in a little dark side spirit, lose as much cgi as possible, then things will be ok.


Sadly the prequels managed to kill off that childhood part of me that worshiped those films, and in the cold light of day even the originals are basically just champion the wonder horse in space.


But they could smear some paper in a toilet bowl, then take the script down to Chipping Norton Am Dram society and it'd still be a better than the prequels.

Regarding the new films... not much to say which hasn't been said before, the casting of the original trio is the worst kept secret in the history of cinema. But hopefully the new films will be better than the prequels, which shouldn't be hard because the plots, scripts, acting, and visuals were truly abysmal.


Abrams is probably a decent choice... even if the films turn out to be simply enjoyable popcorn-fodder, that's fine with me - let's not kid ourselves that the original trilogy was anything more.


John Boyega... congrats to the guy, hope he makes the most of the opportunity.

I'd add to that: the stupid CGI tinkering and re-releasing of the originals - and withdrawl of the original cinematic release versions from general sale and tv outings (thanks, George - you know best).


Then there's the ceaseless, unending merchandising and marketing, beginning innocently enough with my Star Wars pencil case in 1978 and culminating in Yoda featuring in a recent Vodaphone commercial. Enough already!


They're kids films anyway. I'll watch them again one day, just like I'll eat a 'refresher' every now and again - for the same sort of hit.


With you both on the Trekkie reboot though. Just goes to show.. it can be done..

The new Star Trek films have both been pretty cool.


I was willing to forgive episodes 1 & 2 if 3 had been as awesome as it could have been, but no, it was absolute shit.


New ones could be good, but being Disney they'll probably throw a couple of musical numbers in there just to really fuck it up.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
