Saw Star Trek

[valis2]

I'm not a Trek fan, but it was enjoyable.

In the bathroom afterward, the woman next to me informed me that Leonard Nimoy is her husband.

Um. Seriously?

I answered, "I'll bet that's news to him."

lol!!

YAY!! That's a *fantastic* answer!

It's so rare that I think of the right thing to say, and so quickly! hee! She laughed, too. ;)

Damn that Astral Plane.

There are just so many weddings there! Who has time to send gifts anymore? heh.

Herr Tanzer is a hardcore Trekker. We're seeing this for our anniversary this week. I'm seriously hoping for a skinny geek character to make it worth my while. Was Spock hot? ;)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Spock was very nice indeed. But honestly, I didn't really get excited by anybody. Though Kirk has lovely eyes.

However, everyone I know who likes Trek really liked this movie, so you're probably in for a treat!

And--new icon? Mmm. Nick.

[little-tristan.livejournal.com]

Yes, I call this one Nick of the living dead. When I first captured it I was going to let it go as not pretty enough, but sometimes you want that zombie look. :)

So Trek has wives on the astral plane too! Wow, who knew? LOL!

[marginaliana]

Hahaha I came in here to make an astral plane reference, too! LOL!

Great minds think alike! ;-)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

YES!! That is exactly what I was thinking as well! LOL!!

AHAHAHA win.

Also, it's enjoyable, then? Good to know! I'm getting taken to it this afternoon, but I've never watched the show or cared much about sci-fi. If it's full of in-jokes and plots I'll never understand, I better get a large popcorn to keep me happy. :D

Yeah, I'm certain there are in-jokes that I missed, being as I'm really not engaged at all by Trek and I've watched very little of it.

I would give it a solid B. Maybe almost a B+. It was interesting enough, but you could see that they were really trying to satisfy the fans. They gave each main character a bit of screentime, and for me, it felt like they were trying to fit all of the fan faves in. Still, I did like it, and there were a few good lines and such.

However, I wasn't interested in the characters very much, nor did I have that *RAWR* moment with anybody. Except maybe Karl Urban.

Overall, I have to say that I wouldn't see it again. Still, it was a pleasant way to pass a couple hours! Great special effects, btw.

LOL! It's good to know that the HP fandom doesn't own all the crazy!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hahaha!

I was so surprised, too. I mean, nobody was in costume, it was an older crowd, and there was no overt geekery happening that I could see, honestly.

I'm still amused. ;)

Whoa. Did you get to talk about his fine photography of large women? :P

[valis2.livejournal.com]

bwahahha! No, I didn't, unfortunately. But, being a large woman herself, I think she's probably quite approving of it. lol!
