Star Trek Into Darkness (Pre-release)

Paramount is bound and determined to show me spoilers that I'm trying to avoid. The new poster shows me more than I want to know!

Spoiler warning for those who (like me) haven't analyzed the trailers frame by frame to determine what each thing means:

Dude, I haven't seen a trailer where it's attacking the Enterprise like in the poster. I purposely haven't read the analyses of the trailers to understand what each frame means because I don't want to know. A spoiler is in the eye of the beholder.

Dude, if you don't want to be spoiled, don't look at anything that might be about the movie!

Dude, that's my whole point! I DO avoid looking at things that might give stuff away. But I love movie posters and someone innocently sent me the new one, and BAM, I now know about a big-ass starship gunning down the Enterprise because they show it in one of the most public of marketing tools – the movie poster – which is tough to avoid unless you live under a rock. I don't.
 
So when the trailer comes on TV showing that big ship shooting crap at the Enterprise what do you do do, run from the room? That's pretty funny actually.

And yet you threw caution to the wind to jump into a 107 page thread discussing the movie in great detail to lodge a complaint about the image on a poster that has somehow impacted your efforts to remain unspoiled as to the content of the film..... :facepalm

Dude, that ship is in the trailer, hardly a spoiler.

Someone that doesn't want spoilers don't watch trailers. So yes a poster showing something BIG from the movie is definitely a spoiler.
Stupid trailers these days show the whole film.... if you watch a trailer then there's no purpose going to the theater, because you've already seen it.
 
That's good.

I thought you would have more sense than to question De's recollections or mines.

Again, all I know is what De told me.

Even in the late 70's there were all sorts of mis-info being put out and most of it was due to bad memorys even then.

Gene on the other hand was a funny guy.

I only met him twice and he was always nice to me but man some of the storys that sadly are true showed another side to him

I did, and without reading the other 106 pages, too. Since this is the STID thread, it seemed the only game in town.

Well I hope to hell you don't read the post direct above yours as giguring out what he is talking about isn't too hard and is the ultimate spoiler.

...of course, I'm also not the guy name dropping a dead guy and trying to pass off hearsay as fact. I'm sticking by the Wiki article that has links to published books that were fact checked.
 
I'm not a fan of the new Star Trek, but even I have to assume that the larger ship behind the Enterprise in that poster could be a symbolic thing. I mean, I remember an ad from Star Trek: The Motion Picture had a little Enterprise, with large heads of Kirk, Spock, Ilia, etc. behind it. That did not mean that these people were super-large or anything! :p Why wouldn't that be the case here?
 
I thought you were smarter than that!

So you believe EVERTHING Wiki has on it? :lol

Regardless De has been quoted in print on what he told me so looks like you have some homework to do! :D

As far as me name dropping a dead guy if having friendships with some of the Original cast upsets you, that is a petty behavoir you will have to get over yourself! :lol :lol :lol

I don't think I'm the guy who needs to get over himself. Based on the two sources of information available to me, I've made my choice. The anonymous guy going by the name Apollo, who likes to name drop dead people and boasts about friendships (which upsets me? Um, get over yourself).

...or a Wiki article with links to back it up? I'm well aware of Wikipedia's inadequacies and it's often false information. But, I can also claim to be personal friends with anyone from anywhere. You're an anonymous person on the RPF - the same forum that has banned people for falsifying information and has had more than one or two folks claiming to be "famous" people. I don't know the authors or their reputation; I do accept Simon & Shuster as a reputable publisher that would fact check.

That said, there's no saying Mr. Kelley knew the full story of what happened behind the scenes when he was present. He could've been told anything by a producer, by a studio exec or anything. At his age, it's very possible he's forgotten things or he recalls them differently.

I'm not calling anyone a liar, I'm merely making the best judgement based on the facts presented to me. But, I'm also not the one beating my chest on the internet name dropping dead people or boasting about friendships with cast members. :behave

Either way, this has gotten way off track and we should move back to the latest movie... where, IMO Karl Urban has a darn good job so far. ...and I told him so when he had dinner at my house last night. :facepalm
