The New Star Trek Movie Is A Total San Francisco FAIL!

Says this nerd.

Haha. This makes me laugh. I love this guy. So mad. The day after the HD trailer for Star Trek was posted on the Apple website he applied to get a PhD in Buildings. I do think that YouTube user neilvarney00 makes a really strong counter-point, though:

So true. Alot can happen and change in 300 years. Boom goes the mind-amite. Later, zennie62, who made the video, joins the thread to bring up another pretty important topic:

Is it too bright, guys? The interior design? In the spaceship?

Obviously, I am only teasing this guy because the fact that I will never care about anything even half as much as he cares about three frames in a teaser trailer, not even my children, fills me with an existential dread more terrifying than the night screams of a thousand ring-wraiths. (Via io9.)

Gabe, you're not going to care about our children this much?

Excuse me while I revise my Gabe Fan Fiction. Cause I Can Make It Up, too.

Your fan-fiction relationship with Gabe is interfering with my fan-fiction relationship with Gabe. I don't mind if he doesn't love the kids. Stay with me Gabe!

Actually I think San Francisco has shorter buildings (and always will) because it is sitting on top of an earthquake-prone bed of silt but hoooooly shit, what grace6697 said.

I agree that this is an extremely implausible projection of future architecture 300 years from now. Much more implausible than aliens looking and behaving identical to us but with pointy ears, and instantaneous matter transportation. Give me back every dollar I have ever spent on this franchise (I have spent no dollars ever on this franchise).

"As a Trekker" = best qualifying statement EVER. (Because it's still best to go by Trekker when Trekkie is still just TOO hurtful a slur.)

He should have pointed out the real elephant in the room. Oakland will obviously be a Klingon enclave in 300 years.

If I know San Francisco, and I do, her people will rise up in defiance of this film and ultimately destroy it.

If Michael Bay is allowed to move the Eiffel Tower from one side of the Seine to the other, JJ can make up a new skyline for future SF.

What is accurate is that in 300 years is that the new Bay Bridge still won't be built.
