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."

  1. REVEALED : $lashdot is running IIS! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    In light of the new URL convention for $lashdot (SECTION.$lashdot.org where SECTION can be apple, ask, ..., etc.) which looks suspiciously MS IIS-like, I just queried Netcraft to find out what type of server the site is running. The results were astonishing!

    The site ask.$lashdot.org is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Windows 2000.

    ... same with $lashdot.org, apple.$lashdot.org, yro.$lashdot.org, tacosnot.$lashdot.org, and jonkatzcatholicpriest.$lashdot.org. CmdrTaco and company have SOLD THEIR SOULS to the EVIL EMPIRE!! MICROSOFT HAS WON!! It is entirely likely that they have been bought by Mr. Gates and company. This end result was predicted here [$lashdot.org].

    Propz to all crapflooders........

  2. Betazed Weddings by synaptic · · Score: 0, Troll

    In the beginning of the movie, Will and Deanna are to be married and as everyone knows from the episode where Troi's mother gets married on ST:TNG, the participants in Betazed weddings are nude.

    So the whole movie, we're waiting to see how much better plastic surgery has become in the 24th century as Troi has grown a full two bust sizes since the beginning of TNG. Instead, we get stuck looking at the shiny heads and crooked teeth of Picard and his evil clone.

    Star Trek writers, listen up: more nudity, sex, and explosions, in that order and you'll have a box office success. Some Klingon orgies would guarantee at least a few more movies. And stop with the 'holier-than-thou' moral of the story in these movies. Go out and explore shit.. go where no man has gone before and bag one for the team, eh?

    No, but you can get assfucked by a gay orangutan. I bet you are jacking off thinking of that right now you friggin' son of a bitch.

    ... who gives a flying fsck why any movie with a title like "Star*????*" fails?

    Maybe it's because the sorry-ass fans of such movie franchise finally got kicked out of their mom's basement at the tender age of 30-40 and now cannot afford a $10 movie ticket?
