Star Trek: The Swanking - Page 2

As you might expect, I already have plans and tickets. Not the crazy midnight show, but a respectable Friday night 8:05 pm, at the Village in Westwood, one of the last big-screen, standalone theaters in Southern California.

Yes, it's the 8th. Um, birthdays in multiples.

But anyone's welcome to join me for that. A friend of mine, Bryan Lee, is an extra as a Starfleet Cadet, featured prominently in the recent trailer. So I'm hoping his footage remains in the film.

If there's a more, let's face it, OC-based screening for LoT over the weekend, I might be up for that. I heart Star Trek. Um, yeah, I watched the originals ... when they originally aired. I'm.That.Old.

There seems to be a decent amount of theaters showing the film on Thursday, May 7, and I already have plans to see it that evening with a group of people in San Diego. I'm a big Star Trek fan--and not a Trekker or Trekkie by any means--but I'll be dressing up for this one (with a uniform and stuff I bought from Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas before it closed).

What the frell is up with a movie "opening" on the 8th having not just midnight shows on what is commonly thought of as the 7th, but 10 pm and now 7pm shows actually on the 7th.

Shenanigans!!

I will be attending a matinee showing of said movie in my beloved Glendale cinema. I am really looking forward to it, even though I was never much of a fan. To my thinking, Star Trek: The Voyage Home was the last truly great Trek film.

OK, GD, the "Instruction Manuals for the USS Enterprise" on that page are simply LOL funny for Star Trek fans, especially bits like:

• Red Shirt Care Instructions: "Exercise Caution - It is not known if Red Shirts can be beamed up. While beam-down is 100% successful, the return trip remains untested."

• The "Command Decisions" flow chart was extremely witty, as one could imagine scenarios or scenes from various Star Trek episodes.

Thanks for posting the link, which I'll be sharing with many other ST enthusiasts. OK, maybe I'm a bigger Trek fan than I admit.

I haven't worked up to excited, but based on early response I am no longer feel a mix of dread and obligation.
