J.J. Abram'sSTAR TREK INTO DARKNESS |

Oh, I Get It! STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS is supposed to be ... a parody! You know, like SCARY MOVIE.
Well, nothing succeeds like success! And when something is surprisingly successful (like the BATMAN franchise), others who feel they have something a little less than noteworthy, want to emulate the success of others.
In no time, the law of diminishing returns squelches the Come-Late-lys, but the first one or two bandwagon jumpers tend to have a good ride! ...mewstly.
On another note, I'm talking about STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS. I dared to call it a parody? I DARED?!? I haven't even seen it! Of all the unmitigated hubris! Where do I get off? Well, I'll start from last year. Back in late 2012, more than a few people noticed (and some made fun of), the first STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS poster,
for awesomely looking like the poster for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.
Then with the release of advance stills, people started commenting on Zachary Quinto's, Spock's spacesuit (his Space Spocksuit?),
reminiscent of a cross between Steampunk-style 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and TRON: LEGACY (the all important Disney factor!).
And in case any of us missed it, then we got still more stills, with Chris Pine's Captain Kirk looking decidedly TRON-ish.
And now we have the latest STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS poster of the Starship Enterprise...
pulling an IRON MAN 3?
Oh, Come on! Who do you think yer kidding, J.J. Abrams? Gedoudaheah! The Dark Knight influence on the new Star Trek poster
