Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

"Not a big fan of 70s-90s..."

<Rendezvous With Rama> is somewhat adult in tone but might be a good entrance into that realm when ready. No age-restricted themes that I recall.

"We're in airplane purgatory"

So the imperial unit system at some point *officially* became based on the metric, right? An inch was redefined as 2.54cm exactly.
