What if Star Trek XI isn't the greatest film of all time?

[Cary L. Brown]

Well, if this film isn't not only the greatest FILM of all time, but in fact the single most pivotal role in all of human (or non-human, for that matter) history... I think that mass suicide is the only alternative, don't you?

The only real question is just what form this suicide should take.

I'm leaning towards putting out massive quantities of Jonestown Kool-aid in Kirk's (that's SHATNER Kirk, not Pine Kirk) "Saurian Brandy" bottles.

Whataya say?

Whataya say?

Tranya. It has to be tranya.

And I hope they relish it as much as I.

 

[ITL]

Well, I'm planning on a combination of drowning in my own tears and choking on a sammich. I have no idea what sammich, mind you. Something tasty, anyway.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Almost guaranteed, it won't be the greatest film ever made. Just take a moment to think about what a list of those contenders would be, from like a century of cinema.

At best, it'll be better than anyone expected. At worst, well... it'll be sandwiched inbetween The Final Frontier and Nemesis, at the bottom of the list.

With but one statement, you have negated the core of my being.


Seriously, if this sucks the pipe, I'll still be more disappointed by the SW prequel trilogy. And life will go on...

 

[Jon1701]

Of course you do.

Why would I ever make up something that is so obviously true?

What I remember is an advertisement about the film stating that it was supposed to be about the Romulans, but nothing more was said. When I saw this movie, sure Romulans were in it but they were not the main plot which is what I thought it was supposed to be.

"Star Trek X: It's all about the Romulans"

And the crowd goes wild!

Why they were even in Nemesis is a mystery to me. They had little or nothing to do with the plot.

Shinzon could have been cloned by the Quackzillions, the Gloktorspackians or the nobdobblobdians for all that it mattered.

Have you ever seen the BBC series "Spaced?" (which isn't a Sci-fi show, despite the insinuation from the title)

There's a GREAT bit in the second series on this very topic. Simon Pegg may not be my ideal image of Scotty, but he's a funny sumovabich who GETS IT.

(The image of him lighting the funeral pyre on Endor with all his Star Wars stuff made me spit out my drink!)

My bad.

Why they were even in Nemesis is a mystery to me. They had little or nothing to do with the random & disjointed sequences that occurred sporadically throughout the movie that had no relation to the scenes that preceded or followed it.

*Pendantry Alert*

Spaced wasn't a BBC series - it was a Channel 4 series. Although it did air on BBC America...

Ahh... Now I completely understand.

Hilarious!

I may have to check that show out. (Even though it has a black guy as the lead.)

 

[ITL]

Oh, you should - it's utterly wonderful. (The Region 1 release has just been err...released, BTW)

 

[Jon1701]

The episode with "The Empire Strikes Back" ending is the closest to brilliance I've seen in a long time, and for those of you thinking I've spoiled it - you'll forget it by the time you watch it and you won't see it coming.

The raving episode with "The A-Team" theme was pretty good too.

You can go and try it out first and let it know how it all works out.

Nice.


* "Plot? What plot?"

 

[Jon1701]

Slightly off-topic but I'll post it as its Simon Pegg related.

Footage of Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright flushing a cake down a toilet

It really picks up at around 3:15.

And there's also the clip of Tim putting a customer right about TPM...

If it's not the greatest movie ever I say "Let's launch all our nukes and turn the whole Earth into a radioactive ball of ash and glass!"

Somebody just ruined the ending for "Battlestar Galactica."
