thats a large part of it .. also ... it's just ...different.. not just anti slick american ... it's something that just feels, smells, tastes different .. and hell yeah - we're starved for that .. well - some of north americans are. as far as the british cliches go ... I would imagine that most of the north americans who've never been there and who have only been exposed to the UK via films and telly :p have no idea that these things are cliche at all ! cor !

Exactly - you probably think we're all stammering oafs like Hugh Grant.
Just look at the damage Helex Baxendale did for us when she appeared in Friends, all posh, prim and frumpy. English birds aren't like that... at least none of mine are. :)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Let me start off by saying that I am certainly not a "trekkie", and after watching this I think "trekkies" may be just a bit odd in the head. As a child I was a rabid fan of Next Generation, however this is my "first contact" with Star Trek in at least 7-8 years. Though this film certainly had some very good moments, I think you'd have to be a fan to truly enjoy it. The plot plods along at a snails pace, repeating itself and making me think the director wanted to cut as little as possible. Every scene went on much, much too long in my opinion, Id say the film could have been 45 minutes shorter and still just as good. With a few exceptions, the actors were awful. Every stereotype about Shatner is completely true, and I found myself in hysterics after some of his totally monotone delivery. His "acting" aside, his character just plain wasn't likable. From the first few minutes it convinces you not to like him as he acts like a total jerk, for lack of a better term. There was one good character though whom I wish would have been used more: Dr "Bones" McCoy. His dry and sarcastic attitude was hilarious and a breath of fresh air amongst a cast that takes themselves far to seriously. One thing that it did have going for it were the effects. As much as I disliked this film, I cant think of a single bad thing to say about the effects; they were phenomenal! Too bad it didn't have much else going for it... Overall, if you're not a big "trekkie", Id avoid this like the plague. If you are a "trekkie"...I suppose you must not like this review much, eh? 4.5/10

I thought MOST of the star trek films were pretty shithouse, and the first one was VERY slow and boring.
I only really liked #2, and the um...the one with the klingons (one of the last of the original crew movies), and generations. The two after generations were "ok", but the last one was pretty damn pathetic.
