The "Feature Films" section in a paragraph on Incubus says "[citation needed]" a couple times, including once with reference to Esperantists' derisive attitude towards the cast's mispronunciation of the script. Well, it wasn't just in 1966 that this was the case. In 2005 the recently resurrected film was screened by an art-film house in Austin, Texas, during that year's American Esperanto convention. I was there in the audience along with a couple dozen other Esperanto speakers ("enthusiasts" has a certain NPOV flavor) and yes, we were alternately snickering and guffawing at both Shatner's French-accented Esperanto and also certain amusing discrepancies between the spoken dialogue and the English subtitles, when one of the non-Esperantists in the audience stood up and said loudly, "What's Esperanto for SHUT the fuck UP?!" --Haruo (talk) 04:56, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
