The Titanic was an example of what should be called Cockyisms. (The beliefe that one is better or their product is better than it truly is.) in this case, Unsinkable...and we all know how THAT turned out!

DVD encryption, DRM and now Net Censorship...the tighter the grip, the faster they will lose control.

To this I ask....
What about Batman? When they rebooted and made Batman Begins, we heard it all!
"THIS IS SHITE, It sucks, It will blow! Did you see the Batmobile? It's not even a proper car!"
Yet, it rocked the box office, got stellar reviews and was a damned good movie. Now, with the sequel, they're saying that it's potentially the best Batman Duology (maybe trilogy? Who knows!) Ever made next to LotR.
Reboots are what they are, a reinvention of the wheel for that story. I will, however offer up an explanation to the Kirk watching a spaceship being built. The Enterprise was the FIRST constitution class ship ever built but it was nowhere near the LAST. The Intrepid, The Excalibur, etc. Also, the superstructure would have had to have been build on earth at the time as their level of technology was still not far from Enterprise level....and the NX series were started on the ground before being tractored up....I've decended to geek speak. Someone stop me.
Relax people. JJ has yet to have done a horrible movie (MI:2 aside...everyone needs to do a paycheque movie once in a while.) Let's give him the leway he needs and praise all the powers that be that he isn't a Uwe Boll.
