William Shatner keeps the Star Wars Vs. Star Trek flame alive with his declaration that Star Wars was "derivative" of Star Trek -- he emphasized the derivativeness of the movie by repeating, "DERIVATIVE!"
Far be it from me to start a debate on the forum about whether there is any validity to Shatner's statements. I'll just let the Shat talk (with added reading-between-the-lines commentary by me):
"Star Trek...had relationships (UNLIKE STAR WARS!!!) and conflict among the relationships (UNLIKE STAR WARS!!!), and stories that involved humanity (UNLIKE STAR WARS!!!) and philosophical questions (UNLIKE STAR WARS!!!)...Star Wars was (shrugs shoulders dismissively) special effects."
I'm staying out of this debate, but you can watch the whole interview with the Today Show below:
Better question:
ReplyDeleteIf you had to watch one of the following movies in some sort of sick bastard Jigsaw-like life-or-death situation, which would it be: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier or The Phantom Menace?
