Floyd's Web Review:
www.khaaan.com
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is the quintessential space opera of the 1980s, far beneath the epic status of Star Wars, yet far above the inaneness of any Corman production. There was nothing like popping an ABC-edited copy of this thing in the VCR and watching it with a big bowl of popcorn and Totino's frozen pizza (after being unfrozen). And of course, the melodramatic acting of Shatner as he taunted Khan, played by Ricardo Montelban, and the scarcastic bickering of Spock and McCoy.
This website encapsulates the emotion of that movie in a roughly ten-second Flash animation.

"far beneath"--Paenut, you're killen' me. I could understand, "not quite to the level of" or perhaps "a different genre from," but not "far beneath." That's just wrong. Shatner's worthy of more than a profane "far beneath." He's our friend, that Shatner fella. And he's really good with the chicks too. But maybe you didn't know that, and that's why there's not a Mrs. Paenut.

First of all, jonny5 (if that IS your real name), it's still waaaaay up there. It's also the best of all the Star Trek movies (I still cringe at Generations). And maybe if you had Shatner in your movies there might have been a Short Circuit 3. (And there's not a Mrs. Paenut because some supermodels don't use their last name.)
