    Hmm...yeah. You're wrong. Slipcases, movie cash, and bands are being sent back.

    Because they're probably going to send you the case back with the new UPC sticker

    I read it. It doesn't excuse his behavior.

    But it was stated "this will not get fixed". It got fixed. I was talked down to. Disrespectful, but par for the course for this site. "did you do a survey?". Did YOU?

    Who cares? Anyone who knows the movie would have noticed it. I didn't get it until release date.

    It sounded more like someone talking down to Star Trek fans...because apparently that's what happens to us.

    So....let's review. I asked my listeners to not buy the disc. They didn't. Amazon's rating for the disc was down to 43%. That's pretty bad for a tentpole Star Trek film. I'm not implying that the rating went down because of me, but I did make a very large chunk of people aware of this problem...

    Fix coming in a week or two, according to BH. http://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/061616_1345

    I was at a Star Trek convention after Trek V was released where someone in the audience asked why they screwed up so badly on the deck numbers. The answer was that Richard Arnold was on vacation "that week". Even then I knew that was BS because it takes time to design the plaques, get them made...

    OK, I didn't realize where the quote was coming from (it's 3am). Scrooge came out on Blu in 2011 (5 years ago), I didn't think that old release was what Ron was talking about.

    So you're saying this will be broken in the 30-disc set, too? Paramount told you this?

    I just don't see the logic in not fixing it and not offering replacements with the 30-disc box announced yesterday. They can't have a disc with a known error in a giant, expensive box like that, and with II in the box, just send out replacements for people that ask for them. Problem solved.

    Bill Hunt just wrote on FB that he expects Paramount to fix it.

    Yeah, being told "the disc will not be recalled" without even reaching out to Paramount makes me feel like nobody's fighting for this title. Bill Hunt at least got word back from Paramount.

    Then what's the point of being a movie fan and running a site if you're not going to fight for quality control? But if this happened to Close Encounters or Blade Runner, people would be all over it. Hell, Starship Troopers got a fixed disc. It's just sad that when a movie comes out today, that...

    No? "I can picture the people who are complaining trying to watch the movie. Just seething, beet red with bulging eye-balls and steam coming out of their ears like an old cartoon. So pissed off they'll never be able to enjoy the movie, they'll be to busy obsessing over this tiny error." It may...

    Have people become so complacent with errors that they actually MAKE FUN of people now? Is that what this has come to?

    Bill Hunt wrote that Paramount is looking into the problem: "[Editor’s Note: Apparently there’s an incorrect shot of Sulu during the Kobayashi Maru scene on the new Star Trek II BD. Paramount is already looking into it. I’ll post an update as soon as I hear back on it.]"

    I'm still waiting for a proper BTTF audio fix. So far the Blu-Ray and DVD don't match the LD/Film mix (but that's a different thread). As for Star Trek II, the "II" wasn't even on theatrical prints, but that's not as big of a problem as a bad edit.

    It's the principal of it. A prestigious film like Star Trek II should respect a proper edit. Paramount felt it was worth it doing ONLY this movie for the 50th anniversary, so why not do it right? How many movies in the past have been improperly edited? Have we become that complacent?

    Well, you're wrong. Being totally honest here. I've been doing this show for years, and since I've interviewed many influential people in Trek production, I'd say I've earned people listening to me.

    Yes, but how familiar are they with the movie? I would have picked that up in a heartbeat. People DID notice it, and I hardly ever trust reviewers for this very reason. I always think that reviewers should only review what they're intimately familiar with. And the shot just looks stupid. Why...

    Because it's sloppy. How does anyone not notice the same shot in the film twice?

    Well, Ron, I'm about to tell my thousands and thousands of listeners of my Star Trek podcast not to buy it until it's fixed.

    It's a mistake. If you think it's not, I don't know what to tell you. There's also the sound effects when the letters disappear. Why have a plot on screen and then tell Sulu to plot a course? No, this is a screwup and it ticks me off because I got into CGI as a kid because of this movie, so...
