Great White: Shortfin Mako: The Mako is 'leaner' and its teeth are shaped a little different, but from a distance above the water, they'd look a lot alike, as long as the mako was at least 10 feet long or so. Was the shark fat? Like thicker than what would probably be proportional? If it was, then it was probably a GW, not a mako. |

I'll give it another go but I just didn't care for it for some reason. And I love the whale one quite a bit. 1 is the best, for me. V-ger was the best antagonist. Just a cool concept.

Though I did like the V-ger idea, but the movie was too slow, and everyone in it was kind of stilted. The whale one wasn't good. It was fun for about 20 minutes then it just got kind of silly. |

I feel like I need to stick up for Nemesis somewhat here, if only for the climax battle between the Enterprise, the Scimitar, and two next gen Romulan battleships. Yes, the dune buggy scene was cringe, yes the psi-rape was disturbing, but that final battle was worth it. And I thought young Tom Hardy did great as the villain.

I guess I'm one of the few that really liked Star Trek: The Motion Picture, especially the 40th Anniversary Edition, which featured some new scenes.
I liked it even better decades later after realizing that the world in which Voyager became V'ger was the homeworld of the Borg, obviously before they assimilated V'ger but the Borg nonetheless. |

It's better than V and Insurrection. The scene where Scotty gives Kirk the tour of the ship is great. That's about all I can say about it. |

I watched the Special Edition on one of the streaming channels in the past few years and came to appreciate the movie for what it was for the time. But with the inclusion of what would become the Borg made the movie much better overall for me. Plus, there's that "Nostalgia Factor" at play because I really liked the movie from the first time I saw it in 1979 at the Glenwood. I only soured on it later, especially after The Wrath of Khan.

What's funny is that I used to chat with Shatner in the early 90's because he frequented a bar that was called Residuals, which was less than a 1 minute walk from my apartment at the time and I never once thought to chat about Trek with him. They had Karaoke Sundays and Shatner was a blast because he'd get up and do is "Beatnik" thing, which was hilariously entertaining. I know he's gotten a bad rap over the years from his other Star Trek actors but I've run into him too many times to count and he was always kind, witty, humorous and generous with his time. I sat next to him and his family at Jerry's Famous Deli on Ventura one Sunday morning and he treated everyone with great respect. He's certainly not one of that pampered divas that treats people like garbage. Insurrection was just unwatchable. I've tried to watch it over the years but I just find F. Murray Abraham's performance to be almost comical in its presentation. |

Great story about Shatner. I've really gotten sick of all the other actors bagging on him for shit that he did decades ago, especially Takei. Is there anything that guy isn't butthurt about? The way he whines about everything reminds me of what you once said about Henley; how nobody who has enjoyed so much success has any right to be so miserable.
