Anyone ever seen this movie? Picked up the spec ed last night. Very, very cool, and also very, very frightening as to how "on the head" it is regarding us sci-fi fans in general...well, at least my friends and I!

Yup... LOVE this film and its extremely frightening how accurate it is. I even had a female comic fan experience similar to the main character. Spooky stuff but highly recommended that anyone who posts here check the film out.

My wife is a casual fan of both SW and ST. If either of those is on, she'll watch it, but doesn't get into it to the level that me, my brother/friends do. I told her she would think it (Freen Enterprise) was funny, but then I said that she probably wouldn't get a lot of the jokes, especially with the dialogue snippets and references. Sadly, I never dated anyone who shared my interest in comics/superheroes. The scene where he corrects his soon-to-be-ex girlfriend about the title of Requiem For Methuselah was a riot. You knew he just HAD to correct her, as I would have.

Yeah, the whole arguement about not being able to pay bills but being surrounded by toys, videos and AV equipment hit a little *too* close to home for me... but at least *those* days are long over.

LOL...yes, the days of impulse buying for me are still here but under control for the most part. I've been good lately about asking myself "Do I REALLY need this?"

I've always been in favor of free enterprise. Reduced/eliminated taxation means that a company has more money to invest in itself by hiring more workers or buying more equipment, and that helps to strengthen the economy.

Those responsible for writing this post, have been sacked. We shall continue in a few moments.
...
Paramount and parent company Viacom must have some marketing scheme up their sleeves if they would give away Enterprise for free. I don't know what, but I imagine it will be have to be good, otherwise they wouldn't risk losing that kind of money.
...
Those responsible for writing this post, as well as those for the last round of sackings, have been sacked. At great expense, we have gone out and found a completely new staff.

I haven't seen Free Enterprise, and I'm not sure I'm interested. Never saw Trekkies or Trekkies 2 either. Thanks to an old Sci-Fi show called 'Exposure' I a number of Star Wars fan films on DVD (George Lucas in Love, the first Tripping the Rift, Chasing Carrie Fisher). It was on in 2000.

Yeah, I saw it a while back. I really need to pick up the DVD. Great stuff. But then, how can a film featuring Shatner wanting to do a one-man, musical version of Hamlet be bad?

There is no renewal.
