Sententia Mortuus
I knew I hated Star Trek: Nemesis, but I didn't know why I hated it until The Onion AV Club explained it. In the director's commentary on the DVD,
Baird's offhanded and repeated dismissal of pre-established Star Trek canon—characters, design, relationships, backstory, previous Trek films—strongly implies a fatal contempt for the series. He brightens noticeably when describing the parts of the film he got to design from scratch, or redesign to override previous series installments. Baird devotes a bare word or two of praise to actors Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner, but mostly seems to regard them as props amid his more interesting sets and computerized cameras. Judging from an awkward reference to "Patrick and Brent and... Worf," he doesn't even necessarily remember their names.
In short: Those weren't real Romulans, just like I've been saying!

Speaking of movies, I just saw Philip Seymour Hoffman as "Capote," another excellent performance by a terrific actor. Well worth seeing. - Critic (isn't everyone?)
