I know it's all the rage these days to criticize JJ for his abuse of lens flares in Star Trek, but that's just a drop in the bucket.

His real crime is creating projects with hundreds of subplots that see any resolution and completely distract from the main story.

A Micronauts movie?? Baron Karza rules!

JJ Abrams is the good news.

Why would you say JJ Abrams is bad news, subby? I like his work

What's a micronaut?

Zombieland might have been worse than Wedding Crashers. fark, at least I made it through Wedding Crashers.

Will it involve sentient lizards whose minds have been uploaded into machinery?

I think it was all the rage about 2 years ago

I went to the eye doctor yesterday and driving home with semi-dilated eyes it felt like I was in the latest Star Trek movie. Lens flare everywhere.

Johnny Knoxville for Bug.
Rosario Dawson for Celicia.
Laurence Fishburne for Prometheus.

And, of course, Hugo Weaving for Baron Karza.

with all the shiat being turned out by Hollywood these days I don't really have an issue getting over a few lens flares. Its not like he is Brett Ratner, McG or seizure inducing Paul Greengrass.

Okay. I'm almost 29. Is it from my childhood as well? Did I watch too much Nickelodeon as a kid?

Still not any closer to understanding what a micronaut is... Are they like astronauts but super small and search small places?

I'm amazed that people are so oblivious to the actual CONTENT of some criticisms. What, pray tell, gave you the slightest clue that I hate anything about JJ's films simply because they are popular?

Did you miss the part where I said it was about the lens flare? Do you not understand that perhaps some of us actually find it PAINFUL to watch that much bright light being shined directly in to our faces?

I still have a suitcase full of Micronauts in my parents' attic. I see the value of them going up.

HIs point was that if you're so hung up on "lens flare" your real issue is that you simply are a contrarian. It's minor and it's a special effect. Who cares other than haters? No one.

It's not minor. It actually hurts my eyes, and I am not the only one. It's an extremely legitimate criticism.

Shut the hell up pussy. Please, be scientific. How exactly did your eyes get hurt? Are your retina scarred?

All you have is unfounded hyperbole. You're a pathetic contrarian like so many others on fark.

Shaky cams also give you motion sickness right?

They actually DO, asshole. As does 3-d. Does it make me throw up? No, but it makes me feel like I'm going to. This ACTUALLY HAPPENS. My "scientific basis" comes from observation and experience.

go jerk off to your movies some more, JJ, meanwhile those of us who dislike them will continue to criticize them for REAL reasons.

they do affect some folks in that way yes. Two people vomitted during the screening of "Cloverfield" I attended...and I doubt it was due to the plot holes or cloying interpersonal "drama" of the hipster yuppie larva protagonists.

anyways... I'd be inteterested to see what direction they take a Micronauts film... would they use the old Marvel run, or with the DDP arc by Scott Wherle? maybe a bit of both?

I really enjoyed Wherles take on the universe...even if only short lived.

I had to google "Micronaut." Huh.

This guy was the shiat.

CSB time: My Mom bought Force Commander + Oberon for me and Baron Karza + Andromeda for my little brother so we'd have dueling centaurs to play with. My brother who must have been 4 or 5 at the time never made it home with Andromeda. Presumably having tossed it out the back window of our Buick, thus inspiring the implementation of the "No opening toys in the car on the way home" rule that remained in place until we outgrew action figures.

El Freak: I didn't even notice the lens flares in the last ST movie until the whiny pussies started flapping their labia about them. From what I can tell they're mostly butthurt "trekkies" who just cannot stand that now there's something Star Trek-related that even non-trekkies like, so they look for any minor criticism they can find and blow it way out of proportion. Grow the hell up and leave the basement every now and then.

The problem with this thread is that you assholes are being just so INSULTING. Most of us have no problem with the popularity of the new star trek movie. That isn't even the issue.

When I said JJ lovers were human garbage, I was kidding.

Lens Flare! (new window)

Just in case you're wondering, I'm simply laughing at you. The idea of snowflakes whose eyes hurt from 3D, lense flares, and shaky cams is simply to pathetic not to mock.

I mean, if you're that physically weak, why are you even going to those movies?

Again, you're simply a contrarian with anger issues. You're a pussy therefore anyone who isn't is wrong and everything should be adapted for your physical imparity. Pathetic. Do yourself a favor and vote with your dollar and keep your pedantic criticisms out of here.

They were discontinued in 1980.

not exactly... production stopped in 1984, then resumed again in 1999 and is still going solid. I LOVE my Microman Batman, Gatachman figures.

Do you remember the name of the playset that had the little transport capsules that moved through the tubes using a fan? I had one of those.

I still have one. I have the ship (broken) and some of the old comics. I saved them for my kids.

Diogenes: I don't recall there being much structure to the "story" when they were introduced in the mid 70s

It was a Marvel comic, I think the toys came afterward, maybe the other way around. I had a subscription for three or four years, the story was pretty far out.

Toys came first. Hasbro commissioned Marvel to create the original story.
