This year’s Video of the Year VMA nominees are Drake’s “God’s Plan,” Camila Cabello’s “Havana,” the Carters’ “Apes***,” Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry,” likely winner Childish Gambino’s “This Is America,” and Bruno Mars and Cardi B’s “Finesse.” We will probably forget about all of these nominees halfway through Cardi’s opening performance.Ĭome on, does anyone even remember that Missy Elliott’s “Work It” was named Video of the Year 15 years ago, the year that Madonna swapped spit with Britney? Or that Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” picked up top honors five years ago, the year of Miley and Robin Thicke’s Twerkgate scandal? Sadly, between Madonna’s floor-rolling, Kanye’s speech-interrupting, Gaga’s meat-dressing, Beyoncé’s baby-bumping, and Miley’s foam-fingering, the artists who actually win Moonmen (or Moonpersons, as they are now known) at the MTV Video Music Awards are usually quickly forgotten.
I do have some reservations but am leaning more toward a positive outlook.The Cars’ “You Might Think” was the big winner at the first-ever VMAs.
Rihanna sledgehammer music video budget movie#
No one here can predict if the movie will be good or not. Why would she risk adding her name to a project that will surely fail? For a internationally known and successful pop singer to put her name on a project usually indicates the opposite. I can understand why some may scoff at the idea of having a pop singer’s name attached to Star Trek in some way, but it’s all good.Īlso, I think some believe that adding her to the soundtrack indicates that the movie is a dud or “not so good” at the very least. Everyone else gets this kind of treatment but us. I think Trekkies don’t know what to think of this because we aren’t used to this kind of attention/treatment. It was Star Trek Beyond, but I’d not heard this song before so I was confused for a minute. I was watching videos on Youtube when a familiar trailer popped up before a video. Starting fresh in an alternate universe? Really? When what we ended up with is essentially a LAZY rehash and retelling of the original show.
JJ Abrams is a compulsive liar and a talentless hack. And I would certainly not consider Rihanna, a dirt bike and that painfully bad Uhura line, a step in the right direction. In order to become a little more than mindless popcorn entertainment, the JJ Trek movies will also need a big turnaround. After 2 movies and a disappointing trailer for the third movie, I doubt JJ Trek ever will. TNG eventually won me over by evolving into a quality show, offering a good balance of food for thought and basic entertainment.
I, as well as many others, gave a chance to both. Their loss.īut using the initial rebuttal of TNG in comparison with the rebuttal of the mindless wham bam JJ trek is offensive and borderline insolent. I agree that some hardcore TOS fans never gave TNG a chance. The final stretch of season 3 is when TNG really took off as a great show. The turnaround was Season 3 with the arrival of Marvin Rush and a new look to the show, as well as with the arrival of Michael Piller and a new team of writers. The song is expected to appear during the movie’s end credits no date on when it’ll be available to download, but we’ll keep you 2 was an improvement from Season 1, but still not very good. Eagle-eyed fans spotted it in a banner ad on iTunes last night, and the news has been making its way across Twitter and Instagram all morning. Rihanna’s been talking about “Sledgehammer” since 2014, but the song is making its debut on the Beyond soundtrack. She was also a famous face that popped up on the screen giving Trek some love, during the Beyond fan event last month (her segment starts at about 0:39). “I’ve always been obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together,” she told Women’s Wear Daily. They range in price from $840 to $1950, so they’re not for the uncommitted. We’ve heard songs in the movies before (The Beastie Boys, Steppenwolf) but this is the first time a pop song has been officially a soundtrack single.Īnd who better than Rihanna? An avowed Star Trek fan, she collaborated with Dior last month on a line of “futuristic, reflective” sunglasses, inspired by Geordi La Forge’s VISOR. Rihanna fan sites are abuzz this morning with the news that the pop star is contributing a single called “Sledgehammer” to the Star Trek Beyond soundtrack, a first for the franchise.
