watche dKhan again tonight

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I can't remember a time when I haven't seen it. I remember showing it to a younger kid, like 19 recently, and he always kept asking me when the "action" would happen. Me: I remember as a kid really understanding not just the words spoken by the characters, but their meaning. "The needs of the many.." resonated with me asa child, and it continues to do so. The fact that Khan would rather get revenge on Kirk rather than rule the universe also resonated with me.. it was more an act of wounded pride than a realistic set of goals.

The film is like a play, rather sparse, with a slower pace than many films of today. I still find myself being absorbed by its spell, it's respect for the characters, and the impossible decisions that must be faced by all.

Hollywood has tried to reproduce this film in structure mainly, but they can't seem to to realize that a really good stoy means creating a great set of characters and challenging them, that means both heroes and villains. challenging them not with physical obstacles but with ideas that they are not adept at dealing wtih. This film does that for every main character.

It's an excellent action and suspense film. I love it.

 

[Nerdius Maximus]

You should have said "This is where the action starts!" As you booted him in the ass on his way out the door.

 

[Myasishchev]

Did he miss the part where the eels crawled into the guys' heads? Or the part where the Enterprise is taken half to pieces by phaser fire? Or the part with the dead bodies of all the scientists? Or the part where Terrel shoots himself? Or the part where..?

None of those things happened fast enough! It should have been immediate action with no buildup! Explosions! Fistfights! Techno music! This movie NEEDED Michael Bay!

 

[Myasishchev]

All right, I admit it would've been improved by techno music.

Saavik in a push-up bra, washing The Enterprise and just happening to get her top all wet?

Outside the ship, naked except for one of those glass bubble-helmets that cartoon characters used to wear in space!

Michael Bay: "We need a 'wet tits on glass' shot for the trailer, Kirstie."

I wanted to actually see Khan wanking it when he tells Kirk 'he's leaving Kirk, as he left me, as he left her' etc...We only saw one of his hands in that scene and he really sounds hot and bothered.

Someone's deflector shield is up if you catch my drift.

Very amusing.

There IS something orgasmic about Khan's reaction to Kirk's fury in that scene.
