It's a rental

On: Rick Berman Doesn't Know Why Nemesis Tanked

It tanked because movie goers are conditioned to expect that Star Trek movies are "rentals" and not movies that require the full, wide-screen cinema experience. Make an excellent movie and the word-of-mouth will draw in crowds. Yes, I saw it in a theatre, and the 10 or so other people I heard murmuring after the show said words to the affect of, "I could have waited" (for it to appear on video).

1. Hoover Dam
2. Golden Gate Bridge

One man's ramblings and extraneous details are another man's facts that help create context.
