“The Brave” Makeover Debate | Christian Michael

“The Brave” Makeover Debate | Christian Michael:

So I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion about this supposedly anti-feminist “makeover” that Disney gave Merida and one of my blogger friends wrote an awesome post about and I want to share it with you all.

Here’s a couple of points from the post:

______________________

2) The new dress in the image is far more the kind of dress Merida would wear than the stuffy one she had to wear to her betrothal.

3) At the end of the film, Merida was learning greatly how to balance her own tomboyish and rebellious nature with the power of being a lady from her mother. The attire, to me, seems fitting as the marriage of rebellion and class finally come together.

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

“KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!”

- Spock, possibly the worst line of Into Darkness (via new-age-conservative)

I love this scene in The Trouble With Tribbles

MCCOY: What’s the matter, Spock?
SPOCK: There’s something disquieting about these creatures.
MCCOY: Don’t tell me you’ve got a feeling.
SPOCK: Don’t be insulting, Doctor.

A random Star Trek thought

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:44:11 -0700

new-age-conservative:

One of the great things about the most of the Star Trek shows and movies was always the subtle libertarian themes that were so typical of good science fiction. Cheat on the most important test in Starfleet, get an award. Ignore those in power, get a promotion. Everyone knows Romulan ale is illegal, every one drinks it, you ever see anyone even fined for it? Even when the liberal writers tried to make us hate the Ferengi for their pure capitalism, they end up showing us some of the best capitalism has to offer.

That was until J.J. Abrams. Where everyone abides by the rules. Where even showing any creativity in the Kobiashi Maru not only doesn’t get you an award it gets you court marshaled. Where even drinking regular liquor is frowned upon. The new Star Trek didn’t just change the characters, it changed the very thematic core of the show.

Damn you J.J. Abrams. Damn you to the special hell. (Firefly fans know which one I speak of).

Is it worth seeing for Benedict at least? Cause I already don't like JJ's work, didn't like the first Trek movie he made much, and was only going to see this one for Benedict.

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:43:00 -0700

I cheered Benedict on. He was good, but the writing was so bad…it was a waste of a good villain and a great actor.

I was cheering him on when he said he would “walk over your cold corpses” to the Enterprise crew. I wanted him to win because everything else was so bad.

The part at the beginning with the Enterprise underwater was a bit of a cop-out.

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:38:00 -0700

That whole first story arc was stupid, it had nothing do with the plot and there was no point to it. He lost his ship and got it right back 2 seconds later.

... Ouch.

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:28:00 -0700

I’m usually the positive critic of movies I see with new-age-conservative. I find things to like while he rips most movies a new one.

On this one we are in agreement completely, so that tells you how bad it is.

I have to be honest.

My friend asked me who the villain in Into Darkness turned out to be, so I told him that it's Benedict Cumberbatch as Harry Mudd, except secretly working for the Dominion.

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:28:00 -0700

HAHA!

Reasons I didn't like the newest Star Trek movie (the short version)

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:25:36 -0700

First of all, LENS FLARES ARE NOT NEEDED IN EVERY OTHER FRAME!

There, needed to get that off my chest. Abrams needs Lens Flare rehab.

Next up:

The plot makes no sense, the only good scenes are ones that were lifted almost frame by frame and line by line from the old movies, 60% of the scenes do nothing to advance the plot, and there is so much contrived deus ex machina that I wanted to kill the writers.

Also at least 2 (maybe 3) fields of science were completely bastardized or outright ignored. (i.e. my comments during the movie were “Warp engines don’t work that way!”, “Physics doesn’t work that way!”, “Biology doesn’t work that way!”, and “Radiation does not work that way!”)

So not fond of the new Star Trek? I'm only moderately a Trekky, but I had every plan to see it. Had high hopes for Abrams...

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:23:00 -0700

Abrams does great TV series, I’ll give him that. Alias was a favorite of mine in Junior high and High school, but this was a new low for Star Trek films.

It makes the first reboot look almost award worthy.

That's upsetting, I was kinda looking forward to it. So its basically another "Last Airbender"

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:21:00 -0700

I didn’t see Last Airbender, but from what I heard about that…yeah, just about.

The best thing to do when a Star Trek movie lets you down horribly

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:20:44 -0700

watch the Trouble With Tribbles episode.

Either the TOS one or the Deep Space Nine remix.

The people behind ST: ID said they wanted the movie to be able to stand alone while also appealing to the trekkie. With that being noted was the movie good alone?

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:14:00 -0700

It wasn’t even good alone. I went into it trying to watch it as just a stand-alone scifi film as I already knew JJ Abrams wouldn’t make a good Star Trek film based on the first one.

Here's a thought on the latest scandals

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:10:45 -0700

Press these issues and press them hard. This is a “perfect storm” moment for conservatives.

The Tea Party needs to rear it’s head again and get to work on the 2014 elections, these scandals have put us in the perfect place to try to win the senate. If we get a 2/3s majority in the House and Senate we can do GREAT things.

Get to work people, do everything you can to support conservative challengers for Senate seats in your states (or other states if your state is not having to oust any liberals from office) and get them into office.

So I haven’t found you guys a link to the Glenn Beck...

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:06:58 -0700

So I haven’t found you guys a link to the Glenn Beck episode I was in that aired today, but one of my friends took some screenshots. This one is of me answering a question.

Here’s the description my friend wrote:

“I knew without a doubt that I hated you…” Meredith recalling her younger, uninformed years as a liberal.

He’s actually a hero of mine now. He and Andrew Breitbart are two people I credit with me becoming conservative.

Thoughts on Star Trek into the darkness? Do you know the TOS too?

proudgayconservativemainblog — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:04:10 -0700

I was raised on reruns of TOS and TNG. I’m a huge trekkie and let me just tell you… this movie is such a load of shit that it doesn’t deserve the name Star Trek.

This movie makes Star Trek V look good.

Well that was the worst movie I’ve seen all year.

Well that was the worst movie I’ve seen all year.

So cute :) damn I wish we were in a closer proximity, I would definitely ask you out!

You never turn down free alcohol, eh? ;)
