For some reason, I find the fact that Enterprise got ignored for photoshop to be sadly hilarious.

"Nevertheless, we stand behind this film and firmly believe that, in a few years, it will seem just as dated and cornball as previous Star Trek films."



Oh, and "Yes, Gene Roddenberry was the hack who created Star Trek back in the Forties, or something" - damn, kick 'em while they're down, or something.

Yeah, as if they thought the mere mention of the show and its forum is a joke in itself.

That was brilliantly hilarious. Just wonderfully fun. And not without a strong grain of truth.

Press Release

May 5, 2009

Despite the success of the new Star Trek movie, we are aware that many long-time fans are unsatisfied with the film, calling it exciting, cutting edge, and crowd-pleasing. Nevertheless, we stand behind this film and firmly believe that in a few years, it will seem just as dated and cornball as previous Star Trek films. We are still committed to Star Trek’s loyal following, and are confident that as time passes, the special effects become out of date and plot holes reveal themselves, the film will take its rightful place in the canon.

Even as someone who has reservations about this new movie I think this is pretty hilarious and astute.
