I just don't want to be anywhere around when Gene Roddenberry's ghost comes down from space and blows up the genius who said that having the nokia ring or budweiser classic in the movie was okay.

There are constant references to various books, songs, poems, technologies, and other things from the 19th century and earlier... But refer to something from the 20th or 21st century and everybody says "Sell-Out! Folly! NOOOO!"

Seriously. . . Why is Data playing dress-up as Sherlock Holmes fine, but young Kirk listening to Sabotage in a vintage car is *not* OK? ]]>May 10th 2009 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/And secondly when you make a future fantasy with heroic characters and set it too much in the 'now and tawdry' the fantasy is gone and who wants to see that?

Who paid for all those references? What does Shakespeare or Mozart get out of it? Nobody is paying to push the Mozart "brand" or the Abraham Lincoln "brand". They are referenced because they are important figures in history. Somebody got paid to put "Nokia" in the movie, something that, AFAIK, hasn't been done in Star Trek.]]>May 11th 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/May 11th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/
I hate to break this to you but there is a distinct difference between referencing Shakespeare and downing a "Bud Classic" One is culture and entertainment. The other is a bad beer no matter what century you are in.

Small fact about these lite beers. They came out of WW2 as a means of stretching rations and the request of the military to have a beer that wouldn't totally tank someone if they had one or two. So what people consider good beer is actually watered down piss water.]]>May 11th 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/May 11th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/
I mean, I should have known, I remember the horror that the final episode of Enterprise brought. The definition of epic failure.

And I agree, By the time the Star Trek movie plays, the society should be pretty much non commercial.

Trekkers complaining that Nokia won't be around when Star Trek taking place. Reason enough to not go see the movie?

Before you worry about Nokia, how about the probability of:

1. Humans living through WWIII and rebuilding a society that is not based on commerce
2. Traveling at warp speed
3. Humans having alliances with alien species that we don't know if they even exist today

It's called science FICTION. Since it happens in the future we DON'T KNOW what the world will look like. Obviously, the film took some liberties. However, the original series did exactly the same thing. Does anyone out there believe that Star Trek from the 60's is more authentic to how life will be 300 years from now?]]>May 11th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/Definietely fictionional movie.]]>May 10th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/May 10th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/May 10th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/May 10th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/nokia-cheesiness-featured-in-new-star-trek-movie/May 10th 2009 3:20PM
