I have a friend who spent some time in Japan and who has a Japanese girlfriend; they went together and loved it, especially since they both speak Japanese and therefore have a different perspective on the Japanese dialogue. The same is true of when my bro and I went to see Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Because he speaks Spanish, he found much more fun in the dialogue than I did, though we both enjoyed it.

The odd/even numbered theory has been slapped around for ages. I break 'em down as follows:
ST:TMP--greatly improved in the director's edition, but still cursed by the bigger=better mentality
ST2:TWOK--the best ST movie ever. Period.
ST3:TSFS--the best odd-numbered movie, but not as good as any of the even-numbered movies
ST4:TVH--the most populist of the series, and also the funniest. The ST movie to show to your friends who claim to hate ST
ST5:TFF--the WORST ST movie, bar none; Shatner should NEVER be allowed to direct again. EVER!
ST6:TUC--the movie that should have ended the original ST franchise, and for all intents and purposes did. A fine piece of work
ST:G--not bad--for a TV movie; as a feature, it's lacking, but still not as bad as ST5
ST:FC--the best of the NextGen films; Frakes proves his ability as a feature director, which leads to another theory: the 2nd-officer-as-director theory.
ST:I--Frakes falls prey to the odd-numbered curse, but still turns in a passable entry. Better than Generations, but not by much.
ST:N--must confess, haven't seen it.

Now, back on topic. The only way I really see a SW series working is if it's done for one of the premium cable outlets; not because of content, but because of how commercials tend to destroy the rhythm of the SW oeuvre.

Huh? The OT was originally mixed in either Dolby Stereo Optical or Dolby 6-Track magnetic (for 70mm presentations). DTS wasn't used until 1993, with the first wide release being Jurassic Park.

Ginger Snaps is a fairly recent series of werewolf flicks produced in Canada. In the first film, Ginger is attacked by a werewolf and begins to exhibit werewolf-like characteristics herself in a kind of puberty/sexual awakening-type bent. In the second film, Ginger's younger sister is also beginning to exhibit the characterstics and is injecting wolfsbane to keep it under control. Because of her track marks, she's assumed to be a junkie and winds up in a mental hospital for delinquent teens, whereupon she discovers that the original werewolf who infected her sister is coming for her, not to kill her, but to mate. The 3rd film is already in the can and is a prequel taking place 100 years ago. Here's more info: CineSchlock-O-Rama
