AMAZING POST! i was about to post on what I ALSO thought was a huge missed opportunity. She should have reverted back to a cat, at least with slit cat-eyes Oh really, I will check out Yankee Doodle Dandy soon thanks for the tip! MAGA! I am the original poster. I found the reference...Picard says humans have discovered that matter and energy are interchangeable - he is explaining to Dr. Moriarty in Elementary My Dear Data episode. They live in time when matter and energy are interchangeable...INTERESTED? Probably look for it this weekend! Will let you know :) ! Thanks for the info! I may make Savages my next watch! :) I like him. Not for Bond but I think he is great. Was that John Carter? Actually I prefer him! Thank you for this thoughtful response. I guess this was promoted as an important thriller and as a film there is spectacle. You get a priviledged "inside look" at what so few get to see. Am I right about that? So naturally, on the one hand I am impressed with the fine filmmaking and details shown - this is interesting. But overall it is wild woke fiction and frankly could easily have been science fiction - why not make the reveal an alien. This makes me question how far removed this institution is from the actual source, even if two millenium in the making. Just FYI, I have been to Rome, and fortunate enough to see and hear Pope John Paul II at St. Peter's Square. I was just about to post the same thing! I was wondering who this lady was and was stunned it was Famke Janssen. I think the filmmakers did not shoot her in the best angles, and perhaps her makeup was off. Well i enjoyed the filmmaking and the performances were great. Is this really an accurate portrayal of the inner workings of something privvy to only a select group? My point is ...who cares?...and these devoted people, so concerned with their ruminations and intrigue...over nothing at all really. It is just humans overly complicating things and in my opinion they are scurring around with pointy hats and garbs and it is much adu about nothing at all. How did you find it? Great to share our enjoyment of this Classic!...let's not forget about the other great Robert Wise musical, The Sound of Music! I have to say that is my favorite musical. Another interesting film, Heretic and the discussion about source material. A bunch of men parading around with pointy hats and coloured smoke...does that have anything to do with original source material? Seems tragic and misguided. Well I am glad you enjoyed it. I don't mean any disrespect. I just don't understand RC at all. I think everything. They are so concerned about choosing the Pope, or not to be the Pope, also in woke Hollywood fashion, in what is supposed to be a shocking twisting a hermophrodite. Overall, so what? They have elaborate buildings, rituals...for what? I think Roman Catholics are far removed from the original God of the Hebrews as can be...as I understand it Judaism's one God or or Yahweh. Overall, I think I pity them. They honestly look like silly, flawed and misguided clowns. I am sorry to disparage a religion but it is hard not to. Great points about Chekov! Well Khan, knows Chekov so he apparently met him or studied the crew manifest in sickbay so Chekov was onboard somehow. If TWOK is your least favorite...which do you consider the best???? I consider TWOK a very close #2 overall. TMP is a cerebral and epic Trek and the best in my books. Consider Wrath of Khan had: A sexy female Vulcan! Kirstie Alley (What nerd did not fall in love with her!) Amazing film score by James Horner One of the first every CGI sequences with Genesis Oh yes I do recall...I was kinda happy I forgot about those scenes - haha Well Chekov may or may not have been on the Enterprise when they first encountered him. This was in Season 1 of TOS and he certainly was not on the bridge crew - maybe on the lower decks working his way up! Walter Koenig aka Chekov joined the show in Seasons 2 and 3. So we can forgive him for not remembering...what is weird is that they didn't know Ceti Alpha V from VI. Yes a weird plot hole. Why not beam everyone up in the Genesis Cave... anyhow a really fun and entertaining movie. Oh thanks for telling me. Great move by Spielberg. I could not watch the "special edition" with the walkie talkies replacing guns and a Roger Rabbit stylized E.T. Haha! I remember those days. With no VCR and limited TV...movies were so much bigger and magical.
