A misread line that may bring in the Awesome.


I was reading a preview of the upcoming Star Trek film, and misread the line "a fun hollywood blockbuster romp" as "a fun Bollywood blockbuster romp".  And it occurred to me that this is the direction that the new Star Trek franchise really needs to go in.  After all, there's no place else for it to go.

At this point Star Trek, or really any blockbuster SF film, could only be improved by having all the colorfully dressed cast sing and dance.  Can you imagine how the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" would be improved if only we had the soldiers and scientists dancing rings in around Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, in front of the big silvery CGI sphere?  It would be spectacular.

And I could go eat at my favorite Indian buffet and watch it on the big screens.  Double win!
