Cheeky fuckers! Kirk unit, Spock unit and MCoy Unit don't sing 'Row your Boat' in TMP!

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I like Star Trek:The Motion Picture.

[Dalty]

So do I.

[Dalty]

I tolerate Trek V. I also think Nemesis is better than people think.

[Dalty]

And have a soft spot for Generations.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

The thing that really bothers me about Nemesis is that Picard's Mini-Me clone looks nothing like him.

Boy, is that Hardy tiny.

[Dalty]

He's bald. When it comes to baldies, that is all it takes to make us virtually identical !

[Dalty]

If there is one thing I know, it's baldness!

Me, and Mark Strong.

[Quasar]

If I haven't mentioned it before, I think Star Trek VI is terrible.

[Dalty]

I like the hero pose they all pull at the end, with Scotty and Sulu with their legs up, at Camp Kittomer.

I'll read that as long as it doesn't crack Wise.

[Dalty]

I don't think so.

[Dalty]

I had no idea there was a Directors Cut of TMP.

To Amazon!!!

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I like the Director's Cut. It's now what I think of when I think of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

[Dalty]

So worth the BluRay and an evening with a bottle of wine and my new indecently large TV?

[Quasar]

I haven't seen ST: TMP since I saw it in theaters. I remember liking it them. Will have to check out the DC. ADD IT TO THE SYNC WATCH LIST!

So worth the BluRay and an evening with a bottle of wine and my new indecently large TV?

It's worth it--especially since buying a Blu-ray and a bottle of wine wouldn't call for the removal of more than a coin or two from one of your many, many bags of money.

Blockbuster at the bottom of my street closed.

The liquor store next door didn't.

I like Star Trek:The Motion Picture.

It's not one of the best, but I don't think it warrants the "curse of the odd numbers" designation like V does. Now I, sweethearts, am old enough to have seen TMP when it came out in the theaters. I primarily remember my dad, who introduced me to Trek and who is a huge space program fan, whispering "I know what vger is" after the second or third time they mentioned it.

Of course, when my offspring reached the appropriate age, I introduced him to classic Trek and Next Gen, along with the corresponding movies. The thing I remember about rewatching TMP for the first times in ages is the first time the Enterprise appears on screen, in a shot that seems to last forever but is probably only a couple of minutes. My son was laughing, but I told him he had to remember the context: Trek fans hadn't had new Trek in almost ten years, and that shot of the Enterprise was like p0rn to them.

[Dalty]

The Enterprise is a character in its own right.

[Space Tycoon]

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is probably the closest representation of what Trek was supposed to have been. Peaceable human exploration of the universe. Not necessarily pacifist, but peace-seeking.

It reminds us that there was once a time when not every sf movie had to end in a bloody shootout, or fistfight, or some such orgy of destruction.

Some should, of course, and more power to them. But not all.

[Dalty]

Did you just mention space orgies?

[Space Tycoon]

I suppose I did.
