I know it's not entirely out of keeping, he rode something motorcycley in the first movie, but the growl of a tw-stroke engine in that context just sets my teeth on edge. dpreimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905531259256800022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-65609498716466779472016-07-09T00:14:27.639-04:002016-07-09T00:14:27.639-04:00an interesting link.

"The first Star Trek series was characterised by a lack of money so they became these philosophical little morality plays, necessity was totally the mother of invention. Doug and I wanted to enable it to be what it has to be on a commercial stage these days, but fill it with stuff from the beginning."<br /><br />But then the very next paragraph fills me with dread:<br /><br />They also had to factor in director Justin Lin of the The Fast and the Furious franchise. "Justin came with ideas… you know, it's his film," Pegg says. "He had certain set pieces he wanted, so we had to build the narrative around those events. This often hobbles big blockbusters because you have these prevised sequences writers have to crowbar into a story, to try and join the dots between massive set pieces."<br /><br />...that...that sounds a lot like a movie that's really going to suck.Joel Swagmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948746083822200906noreply@blogger.com
