metadigital Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Can anyone truly act the way William Shatner does, in a convincing fashion? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's only two people I've seen pull off a convincing Shatner. One is Jason Alexander. So he's out. The other is Kevin Pollak. So I guess there...is...NO...one.. able to pull...off such..a ..feat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dunno, Jim Carey does a pretty good version in Ace Ventura ... ^_^ OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Oerwinde Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 "Especially after the last two mediocre to terrible films." Nonsnese. Insurrection was good. And, Nemsis is one of the top 3 ST films. I personally think people overrate The Wrath of Khan. Then again, anything with picard and company goes up by 1 million points in my mind since the acting is 1 million times better than the original ST cast (and the ones afterwards as well). "DS9 or a Voyager movie is what we need." I wouldn't mind a DS9 focused movies. It's no YNG; but it was good. Voyager, however, was simply below average. Sorry; but when your best character is a HOT borg; you know you've lost it. Not to mention how they destroyed the Borg's aura of awesomeness. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bah! Finally someone else who liked Insurrection. And while I liked Nemesis, I don't think it was top 3. My top 3 would be First Contact, Undiscovered Country, and a toss up between Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Volourn Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 "My top 3 would be First Contact, Undiscovered Country, and a toss up between Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home." All good chocies except for Wrath. Seriously, I think if it wasn't for Spocks' over dramatic 'death scene', I don't think Wrath would be so popular. In fact, there are other parts of that film that i like more IIRC. Khan himself, however, was a terrific villain. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

And Khan was the main reason I liked that one. That and the immortal line: "KHAAAAAAAAAAN" The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Alec Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I liked First Contact, Nemesis and the Enterprise series. Hope XI is good!
astr0creep Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I liked Kaaaaahn, and the even numbered movies(2, 4, 6, etc). And I still say Joss Whedon should be an important part of the production of #11. I also dislike when execs milk their cash cows. It's very rarely good. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Dark_Raven Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 ST 2 and 6 were the best of the original cast. First Contact with TNG is their best. A movie about Kirk and Spocks past would be dull. Lets keep it in the modern era (TNG time period). Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Think Firefly in the Star Trek universe. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

That was one the major inspiration for the show, having pirates in a Star Trek universe. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/

But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta

Star Trek was originally suppose to be a western, discovering the new frontier and all. Then it was a western in space, then it became what we know, which is more like a space western(?)... Confusing. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
