STEWART COPELAND

I just saw it in its original language. It's highly entertaining!
Everybody who liked the original series will have fun. Everybody who didn't will still be entertained, because it's modern.
And funny!

Dietmar went off topic! That's a first.

Yay! I'm hoping to get to it next week.

I won't be able to wait until next week. A little leery about Simon Pegg as Scotty, but all indications are that its gonna be great. But I'm eeeeeeeeasy when it comes to Star Trek movie. Exhibit A - I dug Nemesis. Exhibit B - I reeeeally dug Insurrection.

First LA show is in 2 hours 5 minutes.

I won't be there tonight but I am going soon.

I have never missed a ST movie in the theater.

I must be a true Trekkie, Trekker whatever you want to call me, I even saw Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in the theater

For those unfamiliar with the franchise history four words for you:

Directed by William Shatner

Need I say more?

Let's just say he had to fill it with equestrian scenes. No one, I guess, could or had the nerve to say " Hey Bill. know you love horses and all but you are directing a Star Trek movie and......"

Classic Shatner:

One of the cheeseist openings ever for a Sci Fi movie:

The goes on for five minutes about how brillant the opening was:

Only Shatner could write and say this line:

I wanna see it.

Throb, you kill me. You have to love Shatner (no, really, you do).

Of course, you do know the old rule that only the even-numbered Trek films were/are good, right?

I have only one bit of glorious Trekdom to share vid-wise tonight.

94% for all critics on the Tomatometer right now; 90% for Cream of the Crop. Notable negative Cream of the Crop review - Roger Ebert - only 2.5 stars.

Trek's out, Trek's out, Trek's out, Trek's out...

*twitches*

I'm a born and bred Trek geek, and I can't wait for my new fix...hope to get out this evening to see it.

Totally psyched about the great reviews it's been getting...Ebert didn't like the new Trek because of the time travel thing, apparently...whatev.

Love Star Trek. Watched all the tv episodes when I was a kid.....special effects were pretty bad. Once there was an alien that was a plastic garbage bag...but it was great, my brothers and me were totally hooked on it.
Hoping to see it with them if they'll behave themselves.
As for Shatner, he's greatness, and very versatile, and FUNNY. Ever watch Boston Legal? What a hoot he is.
Can't wait to see the "new" Star Trek.

I am excited, although I may not be abel to see until next week.

Love Trek, espcially the cheezy original series.

I use to watch every Saturday morning the animated series!
Looks like the old rule will be broken since this is number 11.
Of course the last Geneation was ten and that was pretty weak.
But best are probably II, IV, VI, and the eighth(can't go wrong with the Borg)

I give Shatner a pass because every year at our local Burbank equestrian center he does a huge event/Horse show. All the proceeds, and the dinner is big bucks for tix, go to programs that work with special needs children that as part of therapy ride horse. This year Nimoy was there as well as the cast of the new movie, and Willie Nelson did a concert.

He’s been doing the event every year for a long time, and many, many kids have benefited from it. The horses they need are of course not cheap and he has done a lot to see these kids and programs get the horses they need.

Plus he is Captain Kirk, what else can you say?

I love that he's friends with Henry Rollins. Were I not sleepless from 4 AM storm warnings I'd find and post the link to a song they recorded that's a real hoot; maybe later.

Gotta go take a nap; Trek tickets for 4 PM! WOOT!

Must report back after the show.
Wooooooooo

No time this weekend but must see it soon!

I love that EVERYONE is talking Star Trek.

Geek is IN

Woooo Hooooo!
