J.J. Abrams Needs To Focus


If you've seen Transformers, you've seen the trailer for the new J.J. Abrams movie that's coming out. (If you haven't, you can watch it here.) The trailer doesn't reveal much about the movie's plot, and the official website isn't of much help either. The best I can tell (and this opinion is shared by others) is that it appears to be some sort of Godzilla movie, which is an...uh, interesting choice if it's true.

Here's my thoughts on the matter: J.J. Abrams needs to stop messing about with crap like this and do two things before he starts on anything else: 1) He needs to finish the last 48 episodes of Lost in a way that won't piss everyone off; and 2) he needs to make the next Star Trek movie. (I'm not a Trekkie, but I do enjoy the movies, and was disheartened to see Paramount completely shelve the franchise.) Once those two things are done, do whatever the hell you want.

Not that he will just work with the balls he's already got in the air, as he hasn't in the past. He'll get dicking around with something new, and all the other stuff will go on the back burner, and, next thing you know, Lost ends with Pamela waking up and finding Bobby alive in the shower, and the whole thing was just a dream.

Or, maybe it will all turn out all right. But I doubt it.
