Ditto... I quite like ST:TMP these days. It's more of a "pure" sci-fi movie than most of the others that came after it. As an aside... that movie cost an insane amount of money. $40M when it was first made. There was an interesting tidbit of info in one of the interviews on the Blu-ray extras. The Paramount execs were discussing who would direct the second movie, and one of them asked the question "Can he do it for less than 40 @#$@% million dollars?" ST:II cost something like $4M. Interestingly, many of the sets that drove up the cost of the movie were recycled in the later Trek movies as well as ST:TNG and the subsequent TV shows. Getting back to the subject of sports... I used to gripe about people getting into sports as much as they do, but I think they have their place. I also don't mind them when it's people spending their own money on them, for much the same reason that was presented below. People are free to spend their leisure how they see fit. I do think that the claims that they generate revenue for academia is spurious however. ________________________________ From: Cameron Kaiser <spectre at floodgap.com> To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Sent: Mon, December 20, 2010 2:02:12 PM Subject: Star Trek: The Motion Sickness was Re: Sports! was Re: Service bureaus was Re: Tek 4051 firmware listing was Re: are you still reading this? Actually, I liked it after Robert Wise cut out a lot of the fat. The director's cut is much more liveable than the original theatrical release. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type. ----
