Also when Kirk contacts Kruge earlier (“As we say on Earth, c’est la vie”), his voice comes through quite distorted on the Bird of Prey’s bridge. Either it’s interference from the decaying planet, or Klingon communicators are just garbage.

They make that exact joke on the RiffTrax for TUC.

Cool!
I saw their channel once for a Doctor Who Dalek movie riffing. Wasn't my thing, but now you've piqued my interest.
Pavel Chekov, chief of security in The Motion Picture, doesn't know how hand phasers set to kill will set off the ship's alarms in The Undiscovered Country
Maybe that's a recent advancement? I don't recall alarms going off in TOS.
That was a DS9 episode, the one that introduced the Skreeans (sp?).I vaguely recall an episode ("Darmok"?!) where a high level overview is given, involving pattern matching algorithms and near-instantly translating those - at least for established dialects. New ones would still have to be analyzed and still wouldn't be an instant process (save for power of the plot, of course.
Well, he suffered a brain bleed two movies earlier. Repairing the artery is all well and good, but some damage is unavoidable. I'm surprised it wasn't worse.
In one of the ten showings I attended, it went like this:
"Ladies and gentlemen...the C-In-C"
"MUSIC FACTORY!!!"
Then, the guy says:
"I turn this briefing over to the Federation's special envoy."
Halfway through the walk of the mystery person, some old lady says, really loudly: "Spaaaaaahk!"
My condolences.
I think it was at Nemesis that someone's phone went off during Data's death, or possibly the aftermath. You know, when they movie is trying really hard to make you feel something. (The scene with the gang after Data is gone is actually a good one.) And the person answered it and was TALKING. (Cell phones were new-ish back then.)
They were many rows away but I half considered throwing something at them. It's where you have to ask "Will my scolding this person be a worse distraction from what they are doing?"
I honestly think things have gotten a lot better in the last 10 years, even before Covid. In the mid to late 2000's it seemed like I was getting into some kind of an argument with someone talking every damn time I went to the theater.
Our theater was packed. Or at least full.
Also the seat-kickers. That got really bad in that time period. It may have been mitigated somewhat when they redesigned the theater seats.
Rarely been an issue when I've gone to see a movie of late. But I don't care about seeing it on opening night, and I live in a not particularly populated state.
I went to see the new Avatar last weekend because I was feeling cooped up. Invited friends, though only with a few hours' notice, but went by myself when they didn't respond. I'm tired of holding myself back from doing things I want to do because of other people. There were a few other people in the theater, but plenty of empty seats. I believe I had a row to myself. It was nice.
Opening night is always the best time to see a Trek film. All the fans are there.
The Undiscovered Country was amazing. Everyone always talks about crying at Spock's death or the destruction of the Enterprise. The most emotional I've ever gotten at a Star Trek movie was seeing those signatures.
I'll be talking about seeing Avengers: Endgame on opening day when I'm in the Home. I think my kids will be talking about it when THEY'RE in the Home. (With end credits based on Star Trek VI.)

Yeah, THAT moment was fun with a crowd.
But somehow the main character introductions in Infinity War were even more raucous...
