As much as I disliked "Insurrection", I have to agree, TFF was far worse. I wouldn't buy a DVD, extras or no.
A friend of mine had moved to South Carolina, but had returned home for a few days, right after TFF came out. For once, I hadn't gone on the first day, so my bud said lets go see it, even though he had already seen it in SC. After the movie was over, I turned to him and said, "You paid to see this twice?"

I will, incidently, probably purchase a fancy extra-laden version. But this is because I am nothing but a capitalist puppet. No one should actually do what I do.

Has anyone seen the Fan-MST3K'd version of Star Trek V?

No, is it any good? It'd have to bee really funny to get me to sit through the movie again.

Watched it at a convention back in... 1995? It was quite funny - never had seen MST3K before that - and I don't think again - as it was never shown here.
Some of the jokes were VERY Nerdy - and I actually enjoyed it more for the actual MOVIE. It's Not a BAD movie people. There is FAR worse out there. I just went and saw "Saving Harvard" last week - there were more laughs in TFF. It wasn't HIDEOUS - but it wasn't a good movie either.

No surprise, really. I mean, I'm here listing its multiple and deep faults, and yet I've seen it more than a few times. Perhaps it has something. Perhaps I am a tasteless person. Both are probably likely.

[quietvoice] I quite like the campfire scene actually. [/quietvoice]

I liked TFF well enough, especially because of the great soundtrack (which always is important for me when judging a movie - not that I would base my whole rating on it.)
I really liked Insurrection. I don't understand the arguments against it. But well, it's a matter of personal taste.
I even bought the Director's Edition DVD of TMP although I had always said that the movie sucked. But the extra footage and mass of high-quality bonus materials made me buy it just the same.
I would even buy such a version of TFF, but I guess they will never do it as a) they don't have the material b) not many Trekkers (or anyone else) would buy it

Now, a Special Edition of Insurrection, I would buy.

Something I've always wondered about Insurrection; Was the inside the collector supposed to all blue or did they just run out of money and neglected to composite in a background?

Oh, as far as I know they're releasing a special edition DVD of ST V, just not a reedited/refilmed version.

Call me crazy but I think it's a bit of a scam they've got running here where they release the bare bones version then supprise! They release all the movies again with all the bells and whistles that should have had on them first time round - for a hiked up price too!
The Thing DVD is just a run-of-the-mill release and it's got over 7 hours of extras.
I always thought that because we're paying a premium for DVD over VHS, we got the extras - not as a bonus but to make up for the extra cost.
I knew paramount would do that and I was warning anyone that would listen at the time because I thought it was odd that they were sooo devoid of extras at a time when it was one of DVD's best selling points.
Regarding Trek V, I quite like it in it's orginal ST feel but it does loose pace toward the middle of the movie - why did we need 45mins of Kirk and company walking across God's world? It's not as if they were strolling across amazing alien landscapes. Also, the soundtrack music could've been a bit more action'y' at the battle of paradise city and what was that Spock/horse/nerve pinch in there for? Action just stopped while the horse falls over and the rider just plonks onto the ground and gives up????
It needs re editing.
It's one redeaming feature is that out of all the Kirk and Co movies, Shatners hair looked like it might be real.

45 minutes? In crazy long time world, perhaps. Going by that time scale, the journey through V'Ger must have taken roughly 7 billion years.
And regarding the "Marshmelons" thing, according to the novelisation it was a practical joke McCoy had played on Spock. He knew that Spock would look up campfire traditions, and so got someone to reprogram the database. I don't know if that ever occured in the script or not, but when Spcok says "Marshmelon", McCoy is cleary taking great delight in his mispronounciation. I'm sure he ribbed him about it later.
