I will say that if you told me going into 2016 that the new Star Trek movie would have a plot revolving around things from Enterprise I never would have believed it. The film was better than I expected but it was terrible writing that you fail to explain the villain's backstory until maybe 5 minutes before the final confrontation.

Like why is Jennifer Lawrence earning a bigger paycheck when she has a smaller role than Chris Pratt. Have you no shame, Hollywood?!  On a more serious note, I am curious how much money Andy Garcia got for his short appearance. It probably is a fantastic money:second ratio.

The most amazing thing is that it's the second time that's happened.

I thought into darkness just happened to have a villain with the exact same actor and motivation as enterprise.

I thought Passengers could have been interesting if it turned out to be a thriller where Chris Pratt's character was a psychopath who keeps waking women up, getting bored of them, then killing them and jettisoning their corpses. I kind of just want to see Pratt play a villain. Something other than his usual affable charming doofus schtick.

So a weird humor trend I've noticed popping up in several movies recently is that not only have fart jokes come back with a vengeance, but one type of fart joke in particular has become a reoccurring thing. A character will say something intense or menacing, the room will go quiet and then someone will fart and start apologizing for being a nervous farter. Both Sing and Office Christmas Party do this, off the top of my head, even game of thrones did it earlier this year. What the hell is going on with the farting?

I think GoT did it because Maester Pycell was scared as hell and was going to die. If you laugh you're laughing at a dead character, which is fine, he was poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Ao1ltSy64 I'm not going to watch the other movies you've mentioned so I have no opinion on them or the "trend"
