“Star Trek’s bridge is so cool, it makes the Apple Store look uncool.”
i09 has a sneak preview of this week’s Star Trek focused Entertainment Weekly issue, and there’s a little trash talk being thrown around between director JJ Abrams (a long tie Mac user) and the Apple Store.
Many, many, many people have been spouting off about the Bridge’s make over, and according to Abrams its correlation to the Apple store has been made before, but the updates including handlebar access for turbulence were implemented to reduce the cheese factor from the late show.
“People would joke, ‘Where’s the Genius Bar?”’ says Abrams, somewhat defensively. ”To me, the bridge is so cool, it makes the Apple Store look uncool.”
Obviously Apple is not going to let that jab slide. Look for Steve to add photon torpedoes to the stores in time for the Holidays.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Kensei for the tip!
jj abrams wanted the bridge to look as realistic as possible. more set design – less CG. and it’s looking good. here’s hoping the next star trek movie won’t be a star drek.
I’m excited for what looks like the shortest skirts ever in the Star Trek franchise.
Go start a Star Trek Blog. This post sucks! There is so much going on with Apple products and this is the post. (I do like Star Trek but here? Come on. What a stretch!)
What Alex said.
Also, I think that they finally got the uniforms right.
I’m really looking forward to this movie.
I’m with Kelly. Can you please start another blog that I can read when I want related to subjects I like that I feel compelled to respond to even when I don’t care?
Much appreciated.
R,
Maybe you and Kelly should start a blog. And get married.
