Well, you just said "shithead", too. And now, so did I. You, however, are the one who's being a shithead, and therefore, yes, I tell you to stop.

@Dat: Thanks. At least one sensible and open-minded cinemagoer.
And if anyone critisizes Picard's behavior in Nemesis as being atypical - well what about First Contact? That movie was received oh so well, but where is the difference between FC and Nemesis?
Picard shooting Reman thugs is atypical behavior! Picard shooting Borg the same way is typical behavior?? WTF?
Come on, if you are biased against Nemesis for no real reason then at least be honest enough to admit to it!

There is a slight difference. Picard had a personal vendetta with the Borg, which was strong enough to drive even our beloved paragon of composure to hateful action sequences. That was part of the PLOT. It was his MOTIVATION. See? Integral to the story = much better film.

I agree with Dat in that, yes, the editing left large chunks of gappiness. This is why directors, writers, & editors always need to work together.
A friend of mine is working ona 45-minute screenplay for class & she's having a hard time with it. I told her to go see "Nemesis" even though she's not a Trek fan at all. She did. She said it was awful. Upon that statement, I mentioned that the original filmed script was 3 hours long & that there was nothing that could be edited out that wouldn't leave the movie in shredded tatters. From what I understand, Logan wrote a tight-assed (in the good sense) script, buggy chase not withstanding. But the problem was that it was SO tight that any editing made us go "HUH?"

I don't know, I haven't been any more impressed with the scenes I've heard about which were cut than the ones left in.

Can you please tell me how i am being a shithead by taking offence to someone CALLING me one? Now you are calling me one. This makes no sence to me. I would very well like to know why so I can improve the quality of my posts for all of the Flare community. Thank you for your time.
If you can satisfactorily explain to me how "Shithead." is any less of a contributory post than "fap fap fap fap..... huh?", I may reconsider your status as a shithead.

Shik made a comment 'Unless it's porn.' and I replied saying 'fap fap fap fap' to imitate the sound a male makes when he masturbates, which is a common practice when one views porn. "Fap" is actually quite old internet slang for masturbation.
In example: "I would fap to that..." or "I fapped last night."
It�s neither meant as a derogatory comment or any sort of vulgar name. Especially not one indicating that another�s head is made of feces. Thank you for your considering withdrawing your previous comments and I look forward to future contact regarding this matter.

But I make no sounds when I masturbate. Or when I have sex. None at all really.

I'm fully aware of the definition of "fap". And, since you were already being a bit of a jerk before that post, and someone posted something that disagreed w/ you, and your response to it was a poorly-executed masturbation reference, it certainly seemed like you were being derogatory.

Ultra Magnus, I'll be honest with you. I don't find you to be a very nice person, but rather irritating, and you have given me that impression on many occasions now. And to that effect, I'll be watching you very carefully. Don't cross the line with me.
And Proteus, chill. Please.
