I haven't read BE either, but I'd certainly go along with ST being the worst book-to-movie adaptation ever.
Wow. I haven't read ST since childhood, but I really liked the movie.

You
liked it?
As a serious adaptation of the book or as a campy farce in the style of 50's B movies?

Yes, I liked it. I hardly remember the book at all. Mostly as a campy farce.

Is there a Little Mac?
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

And I can't find a picture, but for a about a week in 1999, there was a "Little Mac Land" at Busch Stadium, combining the popularity of Big Mac Land (Which for some reason still exists despite the fact that its namesake has long since retired and been disgraced) and the huge popularity Joe McEwing enjoyed during his rookie year in St. Louis.....

For a brief time there was - it was a single beef patty and a regular sesame-seed bun (rather than the three-layer bun for the Big Mac), with lettuce, pickles, onions, cheese and the special sauce.
