Things that Big Dumb Object most wants this week:
Star Trek, yet again. An interview with JJ Abrams in The Sunday Times has given me even more hope that I’ll like the new Star Trek film. In it he says:
The thing about Star Trek is, I was never really a big fan of it . . . it always felt like someone else’s show,” declares the director JJ Abrams. “The characters you’re always expected to care about in the series, I never found a way into.”
“Part of the fun of it was taking something that never really appealed to me,” says Abrams, “and making a version that would.”
Which sounds good to me, because Star Trek has never been my thing either. I am firmly from the Star Wars generation, missing the Original Star Trek and then being put off the The Next Generation by the incessant techno-babble and annoying characters. But everything I’ve seen of the new film sounds good.
