Woofer, I knew that what you meant was that what you thought was the opposite of what the filmmakers wanted. I was clarifying why I agree with you, but also trying to shed a little more light on their reasoning, for candy and Coz.
Chaos theory is the scientific school which holds that minute variations lead to drastic change, which is to say that a relatively minor incident can cause far-reaching changes. I'm not sure if all of it is true, but it is based on reason.
Anyway, my point was that, while we may not know the specific reasons, the exact chain of cause and effect, that led toSpoiler: 06-13-2009 07:18 AMcandy:blush:whoops - my secrets outSpoiler: 06-13-2009 08:47 AMWooferQuote:Very true. My best friend got her PhD in chaos theory - yes to your interpretation of it.
And yes to everything you said in your spoiler box. 06-13-2009 08:48 AMWoofer 08-11-2009 09:51 AMturtlexDVD release announced for November 17th, 2009.

Here’s a marketing partnership done right: Enterprise Rent-A-Car has released their first commercial featuring their Star Trek partnership, and it’s perfect.
In the ad, employees beam up, offer the Starship Enterprise for rental (and get asked about mileage), practice their Klingon, and “yes” the Vulcans over the phone. One of them even walks into a cloaked ship. Ouch! (“Sheila, you HAVE to turn off the cloaking device”!)
The ad is called “Business Is Going Boldly,” and features the phrase “Until We Can Beam You Up, We’ll Pick You Up.” In additional to commercials, you’ll see signage with the slogan on it on airport shuttles in NYC and Philadelphia, plus various other locations.
We have to give them credit for this one. We’ve seen some terrible ads from Rocket Mortgage, which include an unfortunate shot of a Vulcan handing over his dirty laundry to his wife, and a more creative ad from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, focusing on new technology. But Enterprise Rent-A-Car wins for being the most creative as well as the funniest.
Watch the clip below, and let us know what you think. Pick-up in the Beta Quadrant!

I missed it and have to wait until Tuesday. 09-08-2016 04:58 AMmaeI'm not sure why you think it's out on Tuesday. I just checked Amazon and there is no date listed. It would be a very quick turnaround as it came out July 22. 09-08-2016 05:21 AMMerlin1958Oops, you're right. Civil War comes out Tuesday. No date for Beyond as yet. 09-08-2016 05:25 AMmaeI would highly recommend seeing it tonight if it's still playing around you. 09-08-2016 05:32 AMMerlin1958It's been gone here for two weeks. I hesitated and blam!!! lol 09-09-2016 05:12 AMpathoftheturtleWhat did they replace it with? I know it wasn't doing real brisk business nationally, but few movies are this year. Seems like not holding out at least until the anniversary was a waste of free marketing. 09-09-2016 05:34 AMJeanMike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
