I'm Just Wondering... why it costs so much for us to examine ourselves?
The movie Star Trek came out last week, it is totally 10/10 movie for me (disclosure: I saw the first Star Trek episode broadcast, and have been hooked ever since). I have always loved how Star Trek was (and is) a platform for looking at our culture, race and relationships... as well as culture, war, racism, role of technology, etc...
Basic facts: the new movie Star Trek runs 126 minutes. The movie finally cost (as is being reported in the Hollywood blogs) $160 million dollars (Paramount reported initial budget of 120)... so, FYI, that is 1.269 million dollars PER MINUTE...
Think of that when the wierd scene takes place where the young Kirk is running across the screen on the ice planet...
SO... it takes 1.269 a minute to collectively do some self-examination and dream ourselves into a better future.
(Yeah, I know, Paramount will make a Billion on this movie in the next year...)
Anyway... bolding going where no one has gone before.... cbaj
