Hello World!

If you're ever in the mood for a good laugh, I suggest you check out 'Druids', which stars Christopher Lambert as the Gaulish leader Vercingétorix. The film is not only woefully historically inaccurate, it also features incredibly poor production design, dreadful synthesised music, appalling editing...you get the picture.

The highlight of has to be Klaus Maria Brandauer's (unintentionally) hilarious performance as Julius Caesar. He spends the entire film delivering ridiculous lines such as "Unleash the cavalry" in a campy 'Carry On' manner with a smug smile on his face.

I really couldn't tell you exactly what happened, except for the fact that there were lots of battles that all seemed to be fought at the same place, the Gaulish women were constantly taking their tops off, and there really weren't very many druids at all. However, I did spot one Gaul wearing an Asterix hat.

Trek Two Years Ago

These were some of the major news items on August 4, 2000:

  • Stewart: Star Trek X Treatment 'Very Impressive'
    During an interview on British radio station 5 Live, Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard) said John Logan's 28-page treatment for Trek X was "very impressive." At this stage, the movie had not yet been given the official go-ahead, but the actor expected it to be greenlit as soon as the first draft was submitted.

  • More Philadelphia Convention Reports
    Voyager pre-production coordinator Lolita Fatjo provided a few Trek tidbits during an appearance at the Slanted Fedora convention in Philadelphia. She said there would never be a DS9 movie after the sets were dismantled and that the next film would feature the TNG cast. However, Fatjo added that DS9 or Voyager cast members could make cameo appearances in the movie.
