“In a universe full of crappy Star Trek movies, the best one in decades had nothing to do with Star Trek ... but also everything to do with Star Trek.”

@jegga It's remarkable how good that was - a broad concept spoof like that could easily have been awful. They even used the villian's costume in a later Star Trek series.
I’ve always thought what made it even more remarkable was the heart; this was a spoof that had sensitive human moments in it where you actually cared about the fate of the characters.

That’s one of the big points of the doco , when Tim Allen has to tell the dying alien he’s an actor. I won’t spoil it but it’s pretty awesome

I’d mentioned earlier I was originally dragged to see the film, mostly reluctant because the star was Tim Allen, and I wasn’t a fan. But from the moment he’s nursing a hangover in the back of the limo, I was on board for the ride, and I’ve been a fan of his ever since simply on the strength of the movie, where I thought he was pitch-perfect and the equal of some tremendously gifted actors In that cast.

good choice.
We do Princess Bride each year on Valentines day.
Grandson: Has it got any sports in it?
Grandfather: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles!
Grandson: Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try and stay awake.
Grandfather: [sarcastically] Oh, well, thank you. That's very kind of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming. -

recommended to a mate at work. He watched it, and came back in and said neither he nor his GF liked it. Cue extensive verbals from about 20 people sitting around him about how wrong he was (I didn't need to weigh in).
It's a dead set classic.
you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means
