I've always been a fan of robots, and Number 5 may be my favorite.
I absolutely love robots. My friends think I'm insane coz I wanna buy a Sony AIBO robot dog (which are in the thousands to purchase). Not that I have a couple thousand to spend on a toy...

When I was a kid, I used to make a Number 5 out of lego. He looked pretty good actually. :smile:

lol! I was considering listing all my favorite Star Trek films, but I couldn't be bothered trying to remember all the numbers and correct names... heh.

Thanx for doing it for me! :wink:

(although I would have excluded Insurrection, wasn't real enthused with that one - good, not great, more like a looooong episode - and I haven't yet seen Nemesis *shame* :embarrassed:)
.
well, I wasn't really counting all of these as favorite movies. Just listing the Star Trek movies in order of y own personal preference. I didn't vare too much for Insurrection either, but Nemesis is a bit like Generations.

Oh, and Star Trek II and IV are out of order on my list. Change them, reverse them. thank you.

  • Any Don Knotts movie

Don Knotts is jsut wonderfully funny.

I love Don Knotts! I agree, he's hilarious. He was in a bunch of Disney movies. How can you go wrong with Don Knotts and a VW bug? :big_grin:

Ever see Shakiest Gun in the West? That's with Don Knotts, and that's what my signature is from.

Another great one is The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.

ST Generations is soooo much better than ST Nemesis. Nemesis is very slow-moving in some parts; I was literally starting to shut my eyes in the theater. Don't get me wrong -- the film is still pretty good, the villian is one of Star Trek's finest, the battle scenes out in space are "awesome," and tthe ending is somewhat emotional. It just doesn't go very smoothly.

Whereas Generations has the Nexus, a truly awesome concept IMO. Plus, it has Kirk and Picard :smile:. The final scene with Kirk is, to me, one of those defining moments in Star Trek; and the monologue he makes earlier about not letting them take you away from the captain's chair is great: emotional and, at the same time, epitomizes what Star Trek is all about.

Insurrection is alright. Not the greatest, but it is a story that keeps the audience involved. There are some awesome action scenes; and, in what has become a norm in Star Trek, several great gags. The main reason that it didn't perform well in theaters, I think, is because the movie has the feel of an episode, and not a full-length feature. I admit: I didn't like this movie very much at first. But, over the years, it has grown on me. And now, I think it's pretty good. Yes, it may have the feel of a Star Trek made-for-tv movie (such as "All Good Things" or "Endgame"); but this doesn't automatically make it bad. Hey: I love "Endgame" and "All Good Things"! Thus, I do like Insurrection. I just dis-regard the fact that it's a theatrical release :big_grin:

As for movies coming up, there are quite a few I'm looking forward to with much anticipation: Brother Bear (Which will probably be the test to see if Eisner & Co get rid of the final batch of 2-D animators or not :mad: ), The Alamo, Garfield, Spongebob, Scooby Doo 2, Runaway Jury, Silvia, and Mystic River.

I'm really looking forward to Brother Bear. My brother seems rather unenthused about it for some reason; I think the cub annoys him. He'll probably go see it with me anyway, though. :big_grin:

It looks great, but time will tell how it fares with audiences. If it doesn't do well, it'll probably be farewell to handdrawn Disney animation as we know it.

Which is sad.
