that's not roddenberry being cute. he literally thought that would be a powerful, compelling movie, and argued strenuously in favor of it. and when the studio rightfully kicked him off the throne and made The Wrath of Khan, Gene then spent the next five or six years hawking the same drat pitch over and over again, meanwhile building up a massive resentment complex about losing control which would later explode into a shitstorm of dysfunctionality, paranoia, accusation, and just general viciousness that somehow didn't completely implode TNG production

wrath of kahn is great, but the thing about first contact is that it's a decently good action movie, just not a good star trek movie

it shits on continuity and character development from the series, but 99.99% of people don't notice that and would not give 2 fucks anyways

my ranking of best treks is: 1) whale trek; 2) abrams trek; 3) first contact; 4) kaaaaahn; 5-whatever) cant remember cause they're total poo poo

gene was basically incompetent after about 1988 or so and his lawyer ran star trek until paramount got rick berman involved. he started buying into what everyone said about him being a utopian visionary in the 1970s when he couldn't get away from star trek and gave all kinds of talks and pitches about star trek's utopian future. that's where all the TNG "everyone is perfect and loves each other" garbage came from

gene banged every girl on the set of tos and probably a lot of them on the set of tng.

legend has it that gene was once banging his secretary in his office when his wife knocked on the front door of his office and his mistress knocked on the window.

legend also has it that one of the producers came across gene crying at his desk during tos. when he asked what was wrong, gene said "I CAN ONLY HAVE SEX THREE TIMES A DAY" and started sobbing.

You cannot write in science fiction (...) without realizing that sexual equality is as basic as any other kind of equality. This does not mean that in future pictures I will ever stop using women as sex objects, as I will not, but to be fair we have always used and will be continuing to use males as sex objects, too. As a matter of fact, when I was younger and much more agile I've been used as a sex object myself; I think it's great fun.

Dear Jeff,

I happened to see the Channel 7 TV program "Hooray For Hollywood" tonight with the segment on BLADE RUNNER. (Well, to be honest, I didn't happen to see it; someone tipped me off that BLADE RUNNER was going to be a part of the show, and to be sure to watch.) Jeff, after looking --and especially after listening to Harrison Ford discuss the film-- I came to the conclusion that this indeed is not science fiction; it is not fantasy; it is exactly what Harrison said: futurism. The impact of BLADE RUNNER is simply going to be overwhelming, both on the public and on creative people -- and, I believe, on science fiction as a field. Since I have been writing and selling science fiction works for thirty years, this is a matter of some importance to me. In all candor I must say that our field has gradually and steadily been deteriorating for the last few years. Nothing that we have done, individually or collectively, matches BLADE RUNNER. This is not escapism; it is super realism, so gritty and detailed and authentic and goddam convincing that, well, after the segment I found my normal present-day "reality" pallid by comparison. What I am saying is that all of you collectively may have created a unique new form of graphic, artistic expression, never before seen. And, I think, BLADE RUNNER is going to revolutionize our conceptions of what science fiction is and, more, can be.

Let me sum it up this way. Science fiction has slowly and ineluctably settled into a monotonous death: it has become inbred, derivative, stale. Suddenly you people have come in, some of the greatest talents currently in existence, and now we have a new life, a new start. As for my own role in the BLADE RUNNER project, I can only say that I did not know that a work of mine or a set of ideas of mine could be escalated into such stunning dimensions. My life and creative work are justified and completed by BLADE RUNNER. Thank you..and it is going to be one hell of a commercial success. It will prove invincible.

Cordially,

Philip K. Dick

Philip K. Dick is so great

there were some girls gene failed to score with, per herb solow.

he wasn't crying, he asked someone if something was wrong with him b/c he could only do it three times a day.
