Rick Berman Doesn't Know Why Nemesis Tanked

Steve Krutzler writes "Star Trek producer Rick Berman broke his silence today on the debacle that was the North American box office for STAR TREK NEMESIS. The film grossed $18.5 million in its opening weekend in mid-December, the lowest of any TREK bow, and its current domestic total stands below even that of the much-lambasted STAR TREK V. Read more at TrekWeb. Berman says he doesn't know why the movie failed and the future of more TREK movies is uncertain."

    Unfortunately, it isn't just Hollywood. You have wackos everywhere in that state. The movie stars are the most visible, but they are just a small part or your wacko infestation. Of course the in-your-face homosexuals have to be mentioned, but also the rampantly communist college students who can't think for themselves are also a major issue.

    That being said, I liked the area when I was stationed there in the military. Riding my bicycle around San Fran, Napa, Sonoma, or driving to the country bars in Sacramento and Vallejo, and Denim and Diamonds wherever that was. But that was 10 years ago now. It is a nice memory, but I wouldn't want to live there.

    Yes, I agree. Berman fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

    He started a land war in Asia????

    "and by the time we got around to the first two, we couldn't find the third at a decent theatre"

    Aah... I think I see your mistake! Next time, try a CINEMA.

    It's Überdorks. Can't figure out how to do umlauts on you Linux box?

    That ^H^H^H construct has been around at least as long as, well, computers. I remember back in '82 with the PDP1170 running RSTS/e...
