ah, but they should...  the greatest of all star trek movies,
where the titans of histrionics shatner and montalban face off 
for the second time.  they are going to release a deluxe edition
DVD on august 6, 2002.

TWOK also contains the famous "genesis effect," an example of early 
CGI by Lucasfilm, made back when such things were very rare and 
very expensive.  the sequence consisted of 1620 frames, each of
which took up to 5 hours of computations to produce on the
state-of-the-art UNIX machines of the time.
