We find William Shatner with a huge bug up his ass as he gives one of the biggest "I couldn't give a shit" interviews of his lifetime.

How come in the picture of Shatner all of the background from about his eyes up is out of focus?They blurred the faces of the people in the background...
and to this day I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone call him on it.Because.. no one else noticed any similarity? I have both films and can't remember hearing Jerry Goldsmith's poignant 'Baku' theme in that Wesley Snipes actioner, or his famous Trek theme for that matter. If you're talking about incidental bits of action music, maybe.
John Williams has been borrowing bits and bobs from his past scores since the early seventies, nothing wrong with that.
ps. James Horner's two Trek scores were superb.

Whist watching The Voyage Home I kept being reminded of badly animated Hobbits.....did Leonard Nimoy have this in mind when he asked Rosenman to do the score? Or did he want the score to accentuate the film? Is it that hard to be original?
I have both films and can't remember hearing Jerry Goldsmith's poignant 'Baku' theme in that Wesley Snipes actioner, or his famous Trek theme for that matter. If you're talking about incidental bits of action music, maybe.Yes, Goldsmith basically re-used his 6-note "US Marshalls" theme for the main action motif in "ST: Insurrection". But what's wrong with that? You can clearly make out bits of "The Mummy" and "Deep Rising" in "ST: Nemesis" too. Again, so what? And if you listen REALLY hard enough, his original Klingon theme bares more than a passing resemblance to the brass fanfare in "The Wind And The Lion" (1975) written four years earlier. AND if you REALLY fancy a challenge see if you can catch the birth of his ST:TMP theme in "Wild Rovers" (1971).
It's called a development of musical ideas and is cool to hear when you follow a composer's work closely (as I have done with Goldsmith). It is totally different to Horner's cut-and-paste jobs. I love Horner too though, bless him!
As for Leonard Rosenman... well almost EVERYTHING he's ever written sounds like LOTR (IMHO) so don't hold Trek IV against him!
Can't wait for this DVD... it just shipped from Amazon!

The opening shots on Vulcan suffer from
flesh tones looking a bit too orange.I'm pretty sure that was intentional. I believe the natural light on that planet is more orange, possibly due to that sun being older and thus more orange.
I don't recall, maybe someone else does...At the end of ST:III, the Vulcan scenes, were they more orange-toned then, too?
