Dood, I bet you were just about to slit your wrists over that...  Seriously, though: for Worf to give such a positive review for a Trek flick is saying a lot. It's as good as he says. Went to go see it again, and it was just as much fun. ------------------------------ "It breaks my heart, but I am almost certain that raaaid will get the Nobel Prize in physics before we get the Avenger in PF." -- Zeus-cat |

Can't you understand the concept of grandiose themes, like in an opera for example?

Actually, how about we dump sequels for a while and have a film about Erich Hartmann...

I saw Star Trek tonite and yes, it was good. I really enjoyed it. I watched the characters unfold and appear one by one. It was a well- made tribute and alot of fun. Fascinating. That green chick was hot and LT Uhura was a babe too. I can't believe Spock and her had a thing going on. I didnt like the Chekov dude, but Dr McCoy was good. "Dammit I'm a doctor not a physicist". It was good that they really paid tribute to the TV series clear back to the pilot episode by including Cpt Pike in the story very much so as well as putting him in the wheel chair that also stemmed from another 60s episode where he was handicapped and in a wheel chair type of device and he could only respond yes or no to questions by activating a light on his encasement that he was rolling around in. It is a re-watcher and I think I will buy the dvd. I give it 4.9 stars. They could have left the transporter effects more like the old days atleast a little. (Intersting thing for me; We watched the movie at a drive-in theater for only five bucks for the car load. The theater is so close to our house that we were still able to listen to the closing-credit music on the radio when we pulled into our driveway at home.)  |

Hartman, Bader, Black Sheep, Flying Tigers.. Knocke.. and Knocke wrote a very good book... that would make a great movie.. Sakai.. I'd love to see a film about Eugene Bullard.. now that would be a story.. Here you have a kid who runs away from home in the segregated south at 16, joins the circus, stows away on a ship and goes to France.. becomes a professional boxer, joins the French Foriegn Legion.. sees action.. gets wounded, while convalescing sees a plane overhead and decides he wants to try that... learns to fly, flies for the French in WWI earning a few medals for valor.. after the war he becomes a night club owner.. where he rubs elbows with the likes of Josephine Baker and Ernest Hemingway.. then the Nazis come.. and after lending some assistance to the resistance is smuggled out of France by the underground because the Nazis were looking for him (He couldn't hide long.. a 6"+ black man in Paris) where he comes back home and encounters the same racism that was there when he left.. he eventually became an elevator operator at 30 Rock I think... for NBC where Jack Parr who had been riding his elevator for years discovered his past and had him on the show. |

Makes you wonder why we get 'idealized' interpretations in films like flyboys when the real thing can't be matched...
