why? because mark hammil's not a fat slob anymore? is that the current state of cinema, where an actor going on the jenny craig diet is all thats required to send us into fan-bliss?

jj should grow a neckbeard and wear a fedora to complete his look.

notice the set in the background. maybe for hyperspace scenes?

No, I like it because he looks like he likes it. He'll do his best and that's good enough for me… for now!

i agree that it's encouraging, but i had faith that mark hammil would not come up short...well...fat. it's JJ abrams who concerns me.

The man's 62 years old, the f*ck kind of unrealistic expectations do you have for his fitness level?

agreed. wait...who are you addressing?

oh i see what happened. the wording of my statement was wide open for interpretation. my bad. lets try this:

I never doubted that mark would succeed at his new healthy lifestyle commitment. my concern has not been focused on that but rather jj's handling of the trilogy.

We'll have to wait and see..

'into darkness', that pile of bantha poodoo, has left me with little hope.

but i suppose we covered this ground already.

Judging by that first screenshot with mickey mouse this movie is certainly going to be just as good as Phantom Menace. Maybe even a little better.

that bad, huh? and i thought i was a pessimist.

To be honest, ST:ID was far from original, a silly story, reference galore etc etc… BUT… despite all that (it's not a great movie) I did find it very well paced and also way more entertaining than any PT movie. So… the worst we can get is a nostalgiafest with endless SW repetitions that at least entertains… It's a step up from the PT either way. 😉

The Trek films were nothing special, but they were fun and entertaining. The PT... was nowhere close to that.

I doubt anyone is retarded enough to think that the sequels will "recapture" the originals... it just can't happen. But if they pull off 'fun and entertaining' instead of 'boring, frustrating, and unbelievably horrendous on every front', then Abrams will have done a good job in my books.

harrison ford has been hospitalized with an injured ankle. i guess JJ is making the old folks run about.

It was "crushed" on set during filming.

It should be alright...

This is a very good perspective. I wish more people were this open-minded. The Star Trek reboot has hardly been anything near "crap."
