Aw geez, not this @#$@ again
With New!Trek upon us, the ugliest rivalry since the Yankees and the Red Sox could flare up again. First to light a fire and throw in some kerosene is our old buddy Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty in the flick. Pegg is famously a PT basher but now he thinks SW has no integrity!! From an interview with New York Timeout's website:
Star Trek, in the end, seems to have won the war, because it maintained its integrity, and now the effects are catching up as well. So you sort of get your Star Trek cake and eat it, too. I'm sure Star Wars fans around the world will want to kill me for saying that, and see me as a traitor, because I've always been a very outspoken fan of Star Wars, but I've never been publicly keen on the new ones.
It makes you want to look up at the ceiling and yell, "KHAAAAAAN!!!" Integrity? WTF is he talking about? Lucas made the movies he wanted to make, not kowtowing to fanboy nation or movie critics or internet dweebs. That's integrity.
Please tell me again why do people at Lucasfilm suck up to this guy?

(Anonymous) 2009-05-07 06:27 am (UTC)(link)Made sure that each and every effects shot in LOTR was completely practical, as Saint Peter would have nothing to do with the "laziness" of CGI. This principle also applies to his King Kong remake.
"Star Trek, in the end, seems to have won the war, because it maintained its integrity, and now the effects are catching up as well"
Remember kids, CGI in the SW Prequels = lazy filmmaking with no integrity
CGI in everything else = OMG SO F**KING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and Mr. Pegg? Go ahead and keep pissing on modern SW; I'm sure you'll get that job writing for the T.V. series. And another thing - why oh why do so many hardcore bashers have such a martyr complex? "Well, I know people will HATE and ATTACK me for saying this, but my opinion simply MUST be heard, as unpopular as I know it will be..." Of course, these are the same people who will claim that everyone hates the prequels, and only a "small, cult audience" actually considers them good movies....
