I just watched it for the first time, as someone who really doesn't care about Star Trek. I've watched quite a few episodes, but I'm not really a "fan", so to speak. But Wrath of Khan is, objectively, a great movie.

No Country for Old Me

This semi-autobiographical film follows Stephen Rosenfeld (John Malkovich), an aging Jewish man whose final wish is to see Israel for the first time. And when he is kicked out of America after old photos of him peeing on JFK at a White House keg party are released, Israel is his last hope. Will they let him in, or will he be stuck floating in international waters...forever?

And Robert de Nero plays Netanyahu.

Trey's promise of a Walken story has launched Batman Returns into the top 6, narrowly nudging out Unforgiven, the candidate that he promised his support to! Things must be tense over at Unforgiven HQ right about now...

The gentleman will answer the question!

The Seven Commentaries of Glory. I like that idea. Like they'll be put in a special glass case someday, to be admired by guests.

The official website for the film, 500millionfriends.com, has the screenplay available for free download. That's where I got it from.

That is my new religious belief system.

Trey will have to weigh in, but I don't see the win going to anything but Harry Potter or Planet of the Apes.

Funny that Teague mentioned a 3D David Fincher film, as he's shooting his next movie, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, in 3D. That film will also be mostly underwater, so it'll be even darker!

When Avatar came out, I argued strongly that those actors shouldn't have been eligible for Oscars. But the more I think about it, the more I line up with the opposite side. Serkis was right there on set, acting with his costars. It really isn't different from the Elephant Man example. By the way, Franco recently wrote a piece for Entertainment Weekly explaining why Serkis should be eligible, and I could've sworn that he had listened to this episode beforehand, as he made some of the exact same arguments. I think he even referenced The Elephant Man.

Unfortunately for Fincher, he chose to adapt a book that is extremely flawed. I think that I enjoyed the film so much because I could focus less on the plot and more on Fincher's direction.
