The Long Road

07/05/2003 Archived Entry: "STX"

Patrick Stewart recently said that he'll never do another Star Trek movie again. Nemesis was one the worst Trek films ever, it's sad to think that it was the last one with good 'ol Captain Picard in it.

You know why Nemesis failed so miserably (besides being a bad film)? It's because the marketing people didn't come up with a catchy acronym for it!! Being the tenth trek film they could have really milked that by using the always popular letter X too! Think how much cooler "STX" sounds than "Star Trek: Nemesis".

es (dramatic pause), tee (dramatic pause), EX. That would very surely enthral audiences!

STX reads like "Sticks"... who'd like to see that?

"hey mom, can i go downtown to see sticks?"

HAHA, I hope you all know I'm being sarcastic with STX...I HATE it when movie studios FORCE acronyms on us.
