Talk:Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Cleanup

I am in the process of cleaning up this article (03 Aug 09). According to Wikipedia, this movie is approximately 132 minutes (just over 2 hours). As per WQ:Limits, that allows this article 11 quotes maximum. I will be as charitable as possible in trying to choose appropriate quotes based on the limits and all the Wikipolicies I have read.

There are now 11 remaining quotes. Anyone, however, who wants to add a quote: be careful when adding quotes, and consider their importance to the film, their quotability outside the film, and their context (eg., does another one of the quotes basically say the same thing). In terms of inherent quotability, this film is actually quite weak. Also, if you add quotes, you must strongly consider appropriately removing another quote. Be especially careful with the dialogue; Try and include only sections of dialogue where the interplay of conversation is concise, meaningful, understandable and relevant--especially not dialogue wherein one of the lines would stand better as a lone quote. Too often on Wikiquote there is dialogue of a mundane conversation (full of speech fillers, like uh-huh, yeah, ummm, etc.) with one line which is quotable.
