Most unrealistic part of the movie, and by god I'm including TIME TRAVEL, is that Scotty would be both dismissive of and insanely good at keyboarding text entry and use of a 1980s computer. Either he'd be pissed off because because there was no way to use this antique, or he'd be delighted at the chance to use his historical reenactment skills.
This is a very good point. The only possible retcon I could come up with for this is if starfleet had a required core curriculum course in ancient technologies that Scotty hated but also got an A+ in because he’s Scotty.
Outraged, but unable to change this because Starfleet won’t allow him to alter the officially licensed hardware, Scotty pretends this computer doesn’t exist, in the hopes of it one day breaking down so badly Starfleet will let him replace it with something he made himself.
He's already replaced it, but has to keep the HW and remain proficient with it, in case Starfleet shows up for an inspection and he has to swap back to using it
It does if you scroll down a bit. Not my fault someone actually made a movie called "One with the Whales". It use to be that only Star Trek 4 would come up with that search.
I think Star Trek 5 was my third theater experience. Grandmother took me which is weird bc I don't remember her watching, but my mom was obsessed with ST:TNG. But I remember IV being on TV back then.
Where are your nuclear wessels?
Nu-cle-ar wessel!
Double dumb ass on you!
Colorful metaphors
I think it's in Alameda
Transparent. Aluminum.

Oh the amount of gold pressed latinum for the long term support of Windows 3.11
I think he was just trolling. It would be a classical comedy form by that era.
But it was damn funny regardless!:-P
Every time I open a terminal window I say these words in Jimmy Doohan's voice
I can hear this
Ah, a keyboard. How quaint.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall during that movie pitch.
If you had been a fly on the wall, you would have seen the lines on the table...
I'm sorry but which movie is this I'm very vurious.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Made mid '80's.
Thanks!! I've been meaning to watch Star Trek I'm familier with some of the lore, should do that at some point.
If you are going all the way back, movie wise, you can start at Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan as the first one is not the strongest.
2, 3 and 4 make a good trilogy.
Noted thanks!! I shall check them out.
Wait, you've never seen any Trek movie or episode? How in the world did you find your way here?
Star trek and Linux are the Lemmy bread and butter
I sort by active and jus scroll all day when shits compiling or something.
It's like they let ANYBODY in!
it's lemmy bro 🤣
They reused those for the Gremlins 2 pitch.
Transparent Aluminum is a thing!
Yeah, we call it sapphire.
I don't
What do you call it then?
My people cannot make the sound with these floppy human mouths
What movie?
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
The one with the whales.
Lmao fuck off with lmgtfy. You didn't even manage to get the right answer in the search results.
It's a joke. Calm down.
Meh, I got a chuckle especially since the search didn't show the Star Wars movie in question. 😉
Yeah it's just a shame it didn't work
It’s “the one about the whales” not “with”. It gives the right first result if you change that.

The lmao implies calm since you asked for my two cents
The first movie I took my then newly born son to. It was loud as fuck. He slept through it. What a great kid he was.
I think Star Trek 5 was my third theater experience. Grandmother took me which is weird bc I don't remember her watching, but my mom was obsessed with ST:TNG. But I remember IV being on TV back then.
Were you holding him or was he in a carrier?
Carrier
