The onion movie WAS instantly dated.

That's our Riker, all right… you can see the wheels spinning, calculating just how much action he's going to get whenever he gets around to hooking back up with Troi.

I might be getting a bit speculative here, but here's my take on that theory - in TWoK, Saavik mentions that she's "Energizing Defense fields" when they got to yellow alert, and there's a grapic showing the a circular pattern around the center of the saucer. So it would seem that the bridge is protected by a smaller,…

Damn, that's some sobering shit right there. I'm glad he was able to overcome such a horrible childhood.

I'll come to the defense of TMP (atleast the recent director's cut, which removes the technical / pacing problems inherent in the theatrical versions and allows the story to come to the forefront). It was a legit attempt at a thoughtful, intriguing Sci-fi movie. and in that regard, it largely suceeds. It's simply not…

No doubt. For all the tackiness, If I could live there on my salary, I'd be moving in tommorow. I don't think I'd quite call it a McMansion, as they've got a pretty nice yard, with landscaping, pool, etc. I always invisioned McMansion to refer to those huge houses with about 10 ft of yard around them.
C'mon Gphatty,…

No, the series really gets going pretty quickly right from the first episode - Clearly you're the problem.

I've gotta say, I fuckin love austrailan's use of profanity (that and the drinking*) I don't think I've ever met an australian that wasn't cool as hell to hang out with for those reasons alone.

For Shame!

+1 for Ren and Stimpy. Perhaps "Space Madness" or "Untamed World"

@random - I like your interpretation there. It's interesting to think that Spock's kinda had it in the back of his head all this time that he's been putting everyone else in that situation, but he's never been tested himself. So ever since the academy he's been carrying around a combination of logical curiosity and…

If I never hear dialogue to the effect of "that baby you're carrying is humanity's only chance for survival / redemption. etc." it'll be too soon. I hear "Children of Men" did this fairly well, but other than that It's probably been since T1 that it hasn't been completely hackneyed.

I think they're just sticking with the "Bruce Almighty" interpretation of God's power - he can influence events but not free will (hence only posessing those with low willpower).

+5 internets to JimmyC. Verhoeven or one of the writers had previously owned a Pontiac 6000 and wanted to get in a not-so-subtle dig at GM's early '80's quality control.

That line always made me want a Blaupunkt stereo in my car. eventually I bought one, primarily becuase they were one of the few manufacturers making Car MD players at the time. But I still had that in the back of my head for some reason.

Heeeeellllllllpppp Meeeeeeee….

And may Davis's Reign be long lived! The Broncos need all the help they can get in the AFC West.

I say love to hate him. Kinda like Al Davis - as a Broncos fan I'll probably be a bit sad when he goes (that's assuming he's not already dead). You've gotta have a few larger-than-life assholes in any given sport just to make it interesting.

A definite oversight on behalf of AVClubbers.

@pig - I'll cop to using the Southpark episode as an explanation for why I dislike FG, but it's mostly just that they did a better job of explaining how I felt all along. I could never quite put my finger on what rubbed me the wrong way about FG. My freinds always told me how good it was, and a lot of the gags really…
