No, they really need to make a Star Wars movie with Jackie Chan as a Jedi. ;7 ;7 ;7

They should make a movie about courtmatialling Picard. Lets look at some data:

Enterprise 1701 - 20 Years + until destruction over Genesis
Enterprise 1701 A - All the way up until the B (Or was it the end of Undiscovered Country? Since crew being retired?)
Enterprise 1701 B - Pretty bloody long, long enough to get shoved in a museum and replaced with an Ambassor class :ick
Enterprise 1701 C - Meh, fair enough this one got its arse kicked
Enterprise 1701 D - 7 Years. :blah:
Enterprise 1701 E - 3 movies (from what I gather)

Now, the 1701 was possibly the most technologically inept vessel in the skies, but she lasted 20 years, and the E was the most powerful starfleet vessel in the fleet, and she lasted 3 movies. :wtf:

1701 crashed into a planet... even if bits survived, they'd have probably been destroyed by the Genesis effect...

Yes I meant E, but I won't mention the fact that DG is combining to differnet enterprises that I wasn't talking about.

D crashed, Original self destructed. And D was after the Genesis device, and it was also destroyed on an entirly different planet.

Fact of the matter is that nowadays, Hollywood's opinion of the American Public is such that unless something is blown apart spectacularly within a certain period of time from it's beginnings, people lose interest. Bah, humbug!

But let's be honest here - most of the time it's true.

I disagree - all the nice explosions (heck, they even invented new ones!) in SW:EP II didn't make it a good, well-liked movie. And there are plenty of good movies that have no explosions - and heck, if you count chic-flicks as movies,most of 'em don't even have any action scenes! :p

Quite frankly, sir, you may shove that up your arse. 1701 crashed in to the Genesis planet, after the self destruct had destroyed half the saucer section.

But I see your point about the initial confusion - I've not seen Nemesis, see? Speaking of which, it's out at the end of the week over here... methinks I have a cunning plan ;7

In the name of all things holy I abjure you, let it die!  Can't you see the misery this thread is in?  It wants to die.  It wants to meet its maker (oh wait, that'd be me...).  It wants to go to its eternal rest and enjoy the quiet peace and fulfillment of a departed thread.  Please, let it go now.  Have mercy.

Yeah, maybe. But almost every movie needs at least one explosion. Let's take Red Dragon for example... :)

Hmm... Two Towers had, IIRC, had two explosions (when the wto bombs went off), whilst Fellowship had none. No wait, I tell a lie - Feloowship had Gandalf's fireworks. Hmm... the point I was going to make just evaporated. Ho hum.

More importantly, I have just stuck the end of my finger in to my processor fan, and as a result my finger is experiencing a great deal of localised but quite intense pain, and there is more blood on my keyboard keys than can possibly be considered 'normal'... ow, my poor figgin...
