And they had burned all their models in a fit of pique.

Light and funny? Make it so.

First Contact is still great; and I saw it exactly 15 years ago today.

Bur Ron Perlman & Tom Hardy, Hellboy & Bane? Nope, still not worth it.

Jan Pinkava left Pixar after the dispute. Kudos to Pixar though, DreamWorks or Fox probably would have just pushed it out no matter what.

There was as set of spin off novels that had the main character with the name M'k'n'zy.

And Riker pulled out his joystick.

Also, by this point DS9 and Voyager were still cranking out 44 episodes a year. How much Star Trek can any fan take?

Brent Spiner thought that Brent Spiner was a star. He carries half of First Contact, the highest grossing Star Trek film since TWOK (at that point).

Stewart and Spiner had contracts that guaranteed one could not be on the poster for a TNG movie without the other being on the poster (negotiated after Stewart and Shatner's air brushed face appeared on Generations). For Insurrection neither are on the poster because they couldn't agreed on placement of the Spiner…

Jan Pinkava wrote the first draft, Brad Bird and Jim Capobianco threw out most of that script, and junked most of the animation, and started from scratch. WGA rules mean that Brad Bird gets the screenplay credit, Jan Pinkava kept the story by credit.

The first one fucked with the legacy of the series by (16 year old spoiler) having Jim Phelps be the big bad. I like III more than II.

Similarly "the Apocalypse" is the revelation that reality has been false, it means "lifting the veil", not the end of the world.

And creatively.

Ratatouille wasn't Bird's idea, he had his arm twisted to take over after the original director couldn't please John Lasseter.

My PSH impression is solely based on him wheezing and breathing hard through his nose in M:I III. That and I weight the same as him.

That sounds like a scheme that Warner's might try to make more money from TDKR, every six minutes deposit $20 to see the next six minutes.

" stand in the way of Armageddon" Armageddon is a place, not an event.

She should have got an award for her performance in Confetti; terrible film, lovely bosoms.

It reminded me a little of The Virgin Suicides when Dunst and Hartnett hold hands while watching a film about weather.
