Very funny GEN review

What can we say? All true, but you know, a Snickers Bar has absolutely no value or benefit, but I love them, too.
 
Great stuff. I think I'm going to watch that movie again and see what else I can find.
 
Sorry, but I found the review to be very unfunny. If he was going for a Picard voice, he missed by a mile.

Every other sentence throwing in the phrase "Because it sucked" is about as funny as throwing in "I'm sitting in a chair."
 
I think the creator of the clips was trying to recreate a voice cross between Jack Cafferty of CNN, Michael Moore, and Nixon. In terms of his critiques, I agree with most of them. I found the clip about Deanna driving the ship funny but not really her character's fault for crashing the ship. What could she do? He starts off about how the 23rd century cast dragged down the movie, he was wrong. He may have been right (had he made the argument) that Scotty showing up should have been a no go. According to TNG's own canon, Scotty was stuck in a transporter buffer and indisposed for the next 75 years. They were the bright spot. I had never thought much about the time it would take for Soran's rocket to reach the Veridian sun. I had known previously about Riker's failure to destroy a bird of prey that was no match for the Enterprise. It was pathetic that he let an obsolete piece of junk blast the Fed Flagship. Lastly, how come he couldn't scan for human life signs on Veridian III?
 
I loved the voice he used!
I also liked his way of phrasing things..." Geordi...now I wanna put the emotion chip in the brain."

I agree with most everything he said too. Picard gets Kirk just because he needs help punching Soren in the face! He pretty much nailed it there.

:lol: I love that breaking sound effect he inserts over Picard when he finds the artifact, then just throws it aside and leaves it there.

Very funny vid!
 
I think the voice he was doing sounds like Adam's impression of Jamie on Mythbusters.
 
I loved it! The guy's hilarious! One of my favorite parts is when he starts going off on a tangent and the next clip cuts him short. :lol:

As someone who likes Generations, I can say he's absolutely right about all of the flaws, plotholes, etc., they're everywhere in that movie. Even when I first saw the movie I was wondering how the rocket reaches the sun in 5 seconds, and the light from the star reaches Veridian III seconds later. One of many, many contrivances. That being said, I still like the movie.

Favorite quotes:

"So the script for Generations reads like my dead wife wrote it. And my dead wife didn't know much about Star Trek. Now she don't know much about anything."

"Can you imagine Guinan running around on a bridge punching Malcolm McDonald?"

"It's only a matter of time, before the animals get to hi-"
