Lauren WeinsteinOne day I'll write up why some of the notable problems with the first "Star Trek" film ("Star Trek: The Motion Picture" - ST:TMP - 1979) were fallout from a battle directly involving UNIX, that I was caught in the middle of ...
Michael Gemar@lauren Please!
mtconleyuk@lauren Well, that would certainly be interesting.
Jonathan Doughty@lauren a write up destined to go viral
Karl Auerbach@lauren Please do. I've heard third person hearsay about this, but never from a credible primary source like you.
Greg Whitehead@lauren WUT? I’m sorry, you can’t just put that out there and not give us some more details. I just read the Wikipedia article and it looks like the production was a total clusterfuck (iOS did NOT offer to autocomplete that, LOL) but there was no mention of UNIX. I mean, given the V’Ger thing it’s no surprise, but still
@grwster The term used in the industry is "troubled production" but yeah. I need to get my thoughts on this together if I want to keep it all in the proper sequence. There are indeed aspects of the story that I've never seen written up anywhere, probably because they'd be of more interest to computer nerds than film nerds per se. It was quite a saga.
Scott Sauyet@lauren You big tease! 🙂
Jeff Zugale - Z Factory@lauren yeeeeeesssssssssssss plz 😁👍👍
