"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

Back in college a white girl taught herself to speak Klingon. Shit was hilarious. We spent half the class asking her how to say shit and she was grunting and snorting. People were like “why not learn Spanish or some shit you can use?”

She’s prolly a millionaire from selling Klingon audio books.

Anyway, are Klingons basicall niggers with no home training? The last movie felt kinda racist.

I think originally they were supposed to represent Latinos or maybe Muslims(?) but by the time of the first movie they are clearly more of a stand in for more African black and brown people

Dorf brought the brother to it.

in the series yes maybe more Mongolian? but by the first movie they were way more brown

I appreciate the man's ability to craft scenes and pacing, but fuck Quentin Tarantino.
I actually sat through the Hateful Eight and counted how many "niggers" I heard, I'm pretty sure it was over 50. *(60 according to this article http://www.houstonchronicle.com/local/gray-matters/article/Tarantino-and-the-n-word-Why-I-hated-The-6735878.php)

And putting aside the word, do we really think that man can tell a Star Trek story from a Starfleet or Federation perspective? All that man does it revenge and antihero plots.

than 60

Bastard, monkey, darkie, and many other derogatory terms were readily available around that time.
It's lazy writing and a favorite go to and likely a-historical considering it's Tarentino.

Also in the film one of the men is familiar with him, one is purporting to be a mexican, and one is purporting to be a british nobleman ... all of them use the term just as much if not more than the confederate in the flick.

I disagree with your statement.

The film is set at the end of of the Civil War right? The word had not lost popularity by that time seeing as how M Twain was a big fan and wrote his works 20 years later and Agatha Christie (a brit) would use the word in a famous book title almost 70 years later in England.

I think that between 1856-1858 the word would have been commonly used among most. Especially whites.

This isn't defense of Tarantino

But his hard lead in to make it as common as the word "the"

but it wouldn't surprise me either

I think the dopest new franchise would be to do a series where Starfleet and the federation are the bad guys.

Basically, Firefly set in the Starfleet universe.

Would you see an X-Men movie from the perspective of the brotherhood of mutants?
Would you see an Avengers flick from the perspective of the C'Thari?
Hollywood needs its heroes to be the stars.
The closest thing you get to what you're proposing is this Venom flick which somehow won't include Spiderman and that's only being done to retain the rights to certain characters.

your next movie based on his idea.

Just saying if it's a movie based on QT's idea, it's safe to say it will probably be a different take from what we have already seen.

Not upcoming quarter and release dates.
In other words ... you're giving more consideration than Hollywood does to anything.
The Star Trek property made big noise on diversity and exclusivity and a new show, then moved that entire mess of a product to an app service that nobody has
Additionally they keep fucking up the timeline.

Are you saying that QT is NOT going to do a different take from all the other movies in the franchise? Or the studio won't let him?

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Star Trek’ Will Be R-Rated: ‘The Revenant’s Mark L. Smith Frontrunner Scribe

EXCLUSIVE: After Deadline this week revealed that Quentin Tarantino pitched a Star Trek film to JJ Abrams and Paramount, the whole thing is moving at warp speed. Tarantino met for hours in a writers room with Mark L. Smith, Lindsey Beer, and Drew Pearce. They kicked around ideas and one of them will get the job. I’m hearing the frontrunner is Smith, who wrote The Revenant. The film will most certainly go where no Star Trek has gone before: Tarantino has required it to be R rated, and Paramount and Abrams agreed to that condition. Most mega budget tent poles restrict the film to a PG-13 rating in an effort to maximize the audience. That was the reason that Guillermo Del Toro’s $150 million At The Mountains of Madness didn’t go forward at Universal, even though Tom Cruise was ready to star. The exception to this rule was Fox’s Deadpool, but that film started out with modest ambitions before it caught on and became the biggest R rated film ever.

That rating was crucially important to Tarantino, who hopes to direct this Star Trek and who has helmed R rated films his entire career. Imagine how this could open storytelling lanes, or even what the banter on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise might be, if you conjure up memories of the conversations between Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, or the banter at the diner between robbers before the heist gone wrong that triggered the action in Reservoir Dogs.

Smith is best known for writing the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu-directed The Revenant and subsequently overhauled Overlord, the WWII thriller that Abrams’ Bad Robot is producing for Paramount. Pearce’s script credits include Iron Man 3, Sherlock Holmes 3, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and the TV series Runaway TV; he just directed his script Hotel Artemis; Beer’s credits are mostly upcoming, and include the Doug Liman-directed Chaos Walking, as well as Godzilla Vs. Kong, Masters of the Universe, Barbarella and Dungeons and Dragons, all big scale stuff.

They will lock one of the three quickly (if there is a front runner, it might be Smith), and the film will be scripted based on Tarantino’s idea while Tarantino is filming his next film about the Manson summer of 1969, which got set at Sony and has I, Tonya‘s Margot Robbie poised to play Sharon Tate, and Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt all having met with the filmmaker about roles.
