The WORST is the rebooted TOS movies. Looks like they are wearing pajamas. ST09/Into Darkness/Beyond
Best will always be TOS. Even tho they were the cheapest costumes they were the best. There was actual design. Only problem is that women's panties are visible. And the men's shoes were a little.....strange...lol Kind hard to dress up like TOS.
TNG/DS9/Voyager/Enterprise....etc....all their costumes were of the time.....I only felt with TOS we were really in the future....maybe the boots for the men were for safety...and short skirts are for women so they can feel sexy ???? But yeah I stand by my choice TOS was the best.
You make a good point. But the whole prime directive was more of a political message about letting other countries develop with out being corrupted. It's like when a kid goes threw a trauma that they are not ready for and their development is messed up. They are scarred for life and they are damaged. No offence to these victims/survivors. We've all gone threw stuff, but obviously when you are a kid it's 1000x worse.
IMO Trek was about moral lessons not really scifi. But yeah it would be nice if for example the US would go into developing nations and help them advance so that they don't fall into the hands of something worse (extreme religion/terrorists/etc....)
I mean we all 'stand on the shoulders of giants' we are as advanced as we are only because of what people did before us. Would be nice if we could bring other people up to speed. BUT there are problems going 0 to 60 is risky. Would be better if they let people develop naturally. I mean by all means go undercover and find the few souls that are WAY ahead of their time (Socrates/ancient scientists/etc.). I'm sure that they will easily assimilate to advanced things.
But in reality these people are few and far between. I mean look even now....people are still racist/sexist/discriminatory/anti-Semitic/anti-foreigner/etc....we can barely get some men to see women as human beings.....we have a long way to go.....
I read this was was immediately struck by the sexism. You know, WOMEN use the site too....
"I can assure you the decision to close the boards was a good one." -Not really. It's an attack on free speech and basic human rights. I mean they can do whatever the f they want, but it was really shady and evil to take out HUMAN INTERACTION no matter how negative you think it is.
"Most people that used those boards were sad fucks with no lives and we didn't want to condone people leading such a boring life that all they cared about were movies and online forums." -So I guess people can't be multi-faceted. Most people work a COUPLE jobs these days. Have a COUPLE hobbies, and sure, some are more passionate about some then others....who are you to decide what we are passionate about? Oh yeah corporate greedy people that are controlling. Also GREAT job on INSULTING your customers base. You know the hand that feeds, the one's writing your checks.
"I suggest you morons thats -spelling error lol- watch movies and go on forums get out more and maybe get some pussy. I have slept with over 100 women since Christmas. How? Because I dont -forgot the ' lol- watch movies and spend all day on message boards. You can all kiss my ass cus -spelling- we're gonna close this board down too." -AGAIN women use this site too you sexist chauvinist PIG....should the women go out and get some D? OH YEAH and you FORGOT the Asexuals who do not want sex at all......
Jeez almost happy that imdb shut down their boards if this post is true I never want to go to that site ever again if it's turning into an ignorant cesspool.....
This is good we should patronize more independent sites like this, so that the big hulking ones like imdb fall and crumble, remember you are only as strong as your customers. And this imdb board shut down was a big FU to your users......don't bite the hand that feeds......
I just hate that she had too much surgery, she looked fine in transformers. But now she looks like a 40yo divorcee on the 'real housewives'
you gotta know when to stop and back away
when your face can't even move it's a problem when you are an actor that has to emote things.....*sigh* but i forget that this show is on fox, a channel that is sexist af
I think I found it on a TV show board on imdb. I think it was The Big Bang Theory. It was a good idea to tell people there. It is one of the most active imdb boards I have ever seen. It's active even when the show is on break lol
A couple unfortunate reasons IMO:
1. We are living in an increasingly PC world where anything and everything is considered hate speech and/or bullying. Someone saying a movie was bad somehow equates to it being evil. Huh? Really don't like when they censor people for no reason. Someone dislikes something whoopdeedo! WHO CARES? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. The more we shut people up, the more we contribute to group think. What I LOVED about IMDB board was that you could say ANYTHING. I would come there for the only place you could really talk about movies/tv. To REALLY find out what people thought about things. I guess too many people got but hurt......grow up people
2. It was costly. Servers cost, and for them to host so many discussions was eating at their budget. Just like how you tube got rid of a lot of comments. Some videos the comments are straight up turned off. Businesses want to focus on what makes them $$$$. You Tube is officially a business not a thing of the people any more. Not want it was founded for. To share videos. And some ads would play to pay for the site. Capitalism....everyone has their price
3. Maybe there was some issue with the credit cards/lawsuit. In order to even use the boards you had to give your cellphone number or a credit card. Perhaps this was a lawsuit waiting to happen or already happened.....????
4. Possible pressure from companies. Now that imdb is rubbing elbows officially with hollywood, they have to cow tow and bow down to them. That means getting rid of pesky people (the general public) that are critical of them. AGAIN, grow up. The more you are against people TALKING about you the more you will be made fun of. The best celebs are the ones that laugh at this stuff. The one's that are like "THOU SHALT NOT EVEN speak or me or make eye-contact" careers fizzle out fast mostly. What director wants to work with said idiots?
I mean imo I think IMDB is really making a mistake. A lot of people traffic imdb to check the boards. To see what people are talking about. I see them taking a sharp drop in traffic. Maybe putting the boards up after seeing the error of their ways. Advertising people my not like it..... I mean really you mostly use IMDB to see a bit of info about a movie then leave. What KEEPS you there are the boards imo.
