However, I can usually write in complete and correctly spelled sentences). I also agree with a lot of what The_Tom says, though I do think Paramount counts on Star Trek fans, in general, and not just hard-core fanboys, to see any Star Trek movie at least once. That number of people would probably payback a good portion of a Star Trek movie's budget, so Paramount might be figuring they can try to make the movie more appealing to the general public, knowing that the fan base will see it anyway (and, again, cover a good portion of their costs, which is helpful if the general public chooses not to see the movie). Now, that does not mean Paramount decided to make a movie fanboys will be jerking off to in the front row, but even making a Star Trek movie more "Star Wars-ish" could cost some of the essential elements of Star Trek, and its movies, which tend to be, in my humble opinion, a bit deeper and more intellectual than its Saturday serial inspired cousin.* Also, I believe I have read Rick Berman saying "Star Trek: Nemesis" was only budgeted $65,000,000 instead of the $75,000,000-$80,000,000 the last two movies received. Did it end up getting more? *I realize some people, like Joseph Cambell (sp?), believe Star Wars to be the "new myth," filled with deep philisophical meaning, but the general public seems to view it as light-hearted fluff, which is why I implied making a Star Trek movie more "Star Wars-ish" would make it seem less intellectual to that public.
