I'm sorry. Is someone forcing you to go? Girlfriend? Cousin? Friend? java? Some nerd who lives across the hall?

Know where I could get some Spock ears between now and Monday?
funny thing, there were about a dozen people dressed up in my theater. all fat, middle aged men - shocker, yet on the imax line which was deep for a show starting 3 hours later, it was a veritible masquerade of nerds dressed to the nines arguing about star trek lore.
i definately felt out of my element.
there was 1 pay for play dude in the crowd. had this hot ass enhanced asian dressed like she was perusing the room for lap dances with this old, fat, bald white dude. definately ordered her online.
viewed it last night...first time i have been inside a movie theatre in over a year.
chris pine is a worthy successor (precursor? see the movie and u will understand my question) to william shatner in the james t. kirk role.
i loved some of the sly, subtle references to the past movies and tv show plots.
the actor who portrayed dr. "bones" mccoy nailed the character. (always wondered how that character got the nickname of "bones"...now i know.)
thoroughly enjoyed it....might even go see it again to see if/what i missed last night.

Karl Urban.
Matt Damon taught him the value of an airbag in The Bourne Supremacy.
He was also the king's son in The Two Towers and Return of the King.
Is that from THE WRATH OF KHAN? Is he gonna insert that worm thingy in his anus?

I thought the Enterprise episodes dealing with Dr. Soong and the augments were interesting.
Space Seed was one of my favorite Star Trek episodes...

and I'll bet you in a couple days you finally admit to yourself it wasn't even decent. It's amazing, no other place in this world can shine up a turd like we can. That movie apparently did real fucking well and I knew from the very moment I saw Harold from 'harold and kumar' in a hollywood stunt fight on the outer hull of a starship, that it was going to huckle down the gullet the biggest, fattest and greasiest horse cock. I'm assuming "harold" was sulu, am I right? Good god........and simon pegg as scottie? are you fucking kidding me? Tell me at least that spock was "alright".........

Saw the Trek movie this afternoon. Not sure how I feel about the revisionist history aspects, but it was a fun ride with lots of carefully-placed references to the TV show and the movie franchise.
I went for the "IMax Experience", my first time. Even though I was back about 1/3 of the way, I thought I was too close to the screen, and sometimes wasn't able to take in all the action at once. In the future I'll know to aim for mid-theater. The projectionist had trouble with dust specks in the projector throughout the film, sometimes the specks looked like space debris floating across the image. At the 1:00 PM showing on a Monday afternoon, most of the customers looked a whole lot like me -- graying, slightly overweight middle-aged white men. But this was the first time in years I've gone to a theater and didn't have to endure any obese loud-talking bitches.

That was pretty fucking funny...
Okay that's funny stuff, but it's not really genre-defining in the way that Python was.
Its the little things that get me. Like how he automatically assumes hes seen him in X-Men.
Another example would be (in a later episode) how Ian McKellen refers to himself as "Sir Ian."

Even though I'm not a Trekie *cough*, I'm still more Trekie than anyone else in this thread... and I have had like no interest in seeing this movie. It's all about "the franchise" now, and not the characters or Roddenberry's vision. Yeah, the original ST cast may be dying, but Stewart and Frakes and Spiner are all still perfectly capable of doing great movies. It's like they took a survey of what the average American likes ITO fancy effects and explosions, then got some young, hip modern cast that average people will "relate" to or some shit.
... reminds me of when DC started releasing a #0 for every single fucking comic they've made for the last 75 years just to increase sales.

1) All about the benjamins yo.
2) Kids growing up today are not watching 60's star trek episodes. And will not care about some star trek crap when older. So it's a way of introducing them to star trek like previous generations have seen. (kinda like talking about v, dune, willow, blade runner, and 16 y/o kids giving you a "what are you talking about old man?" look).
I bet half the people here have never watched a buck rogers episode in their lives!

say what? I answered the "Measure of a Man" episode question of the Next Generation within minutes. I earned my nerd cred...I may not be able to recite seasons and episodes verbatim but I grew up watching syndicated episodes of the original. I can point out flaws in the episodes and don't get me started on how the universe was disrupted by the writers when dealing with the Romulans after "The Balance of Terror."Even though I'm not a Trekie *cough*, I'm still more Trekie than anyone else in this thread... and I have had like no interest in seeing this movie.

After the "Balance of Terror" episode they have been playing fast and loose with the Romulans. In the episode they talk about the war with the Romulans being waged with sublight ships...completely impractical. Even in the episode they still didn't have warp drive. Yet, by the next generation their technology had surpassed the Federation?

That's what Worf said in "Trials and Tribble-ations"...
Okay, fine. I'll concede to your Trekieness WRT TOS. I maintain my Trekieness WRT TNG. I know little of TOS. We can flip over Voyager and DS9.
And, of course, it goes without saying: Enterprise sucked.
Calmly we walk through this April's day,
Metropolitan poetry here and there,
In the park sit pauper and rentier,
The screaming children, the motor-car
Fugitive about us, running away,
Between the worker and the millionaire
Number provides all distances,
It is Nineteen Thirty-Seven now,
Many great dears are taken away,
What will become of you and me
(This is the school in which we learn...)
Besides the photo and the memory?
(...that time is the fire in which we burn.)
(This is the school in which we learn...)
What is the self amid this blaze?
What am I now that I was then
Which I shall suffer and act again,
The theodicy I wrote in my high school days
Restored all life from infancy,
The children shouting are bright as they run
(This is the school in which they learn...)
Ravished entirely in their passing play!
(...that time is the fire in which they burn.)
Avid its rush, that reeling blaze!
Where is my father and Eleanor?
Not where are they now, dead seven years,
But what they were then?
No more? No more?
From Nineteen-Fourteen to the present day,
Bert Spira and Rhoda consume, consume
Not where they are now (where are they now?)
But what they were then, both beautiful;
Each minute bursts in the burning room,
The great globe reels in the solar fire,
Spinning the trivial and unique away.
(How all things flash! How all things flare!)
What am I now that I was then?
May memory restore again and again
The smallest color of the smallest day:
Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn.

I watched many of the original episodes as a kid. Saw lots of TNG as well (I won't say every single episode because I never made it a point to do so). Stewart was great imo. DS9 was good. Voyager, less so...never got into it Enterprise? Meh. If I want to see Scott Bakula, I'll hit up some Quantum Leap, which I also saw a lot of...and enjoyed.

I never liked DS9, so when Voyager came out I barely gave it notice. I think I watched one episode and concluded that Janeway was no picard. Now however, after catching the full run on spike........I have to say that voyager ended up being the better show than even TNG. Yes, Picard is still the best captain and Data is still the best character in Star Trek history...... but overall voyager was a better show and captain janeway really grows on you the more you watch. And of course seven was the most ridiculously hot female.....lol

Flame, nothing surpasses TNG.
you're allowing the greatness of picard to cloud your judgement. Voyage had a much more cohesive story line. THe Delta quadrant was just a more interesting place I guess.
Frakes alone >>> the entire crew of Voyager!!!

oh please, chakotay would have to patiently wait to kick his ass till Ryker finished hucking down the twinkies. Chakotay was a warrior, Ryker was a starfleet pussy. He was twice Picards size yet it was Picard holding his own against Klingons in hand to hand combat. Picard was the D to the O to the double G.........Ryker was his cuttie, no more.

Riker is far more prestigious, better looking, tougher, more pimp, and moreover highly desired by Star Fleet. Let me know when (if) Chakotay makes even a captain position. He had a fun adventure through some unknown areas, but his experience is far more limited than Riker's. Chakotay will never captain the Federation flagship; he'll be luckey to "command" the mess hall. His record wouldn't even permit him to sit on his ass at Starfleet Command.

those "fun adventures" ended up with the destruction of the borg.......for being part of that Chakotay makes admiral at the very least and Janeway becomes, well, whatever they would call the "president" of starfleet. Ryker could bring chakotay his coffee, so it's not a total wash for the old boy. All the voyager crew could practically write their own paychecks in starfleet. Plus Seven is multitudes>than troi, and who's hitting that again??......................uh yeah, Chakotay!! I mean just this fact alone makes chakotay>than ryker. Not that I wouldn't pound Marina Sirtis though........I mean yeah, I so would. But Seven was just ridiculous.......

I have to agree with Rnch, always loved Kirk as a captain and admiral. I was really resistant to TNG but Picard, Riker, and Data eventually grow on you. Despised DS9, couldn't get into Voyager. Never watched much Enterprise, Scott Bakula was a BAD CHOICE. He completely shut me off to the show.
Chakotay was the subject of the movie "Eating Raoul". Getting killed and eaten by Paul Martel and his wife is a lot to overcome, no wonder he got a tattoo on his face.
As far as trekkie cred goes, how many of you saw every episode when they were originally broadcast Thursday nights on NBC, 1966-1969? C'mon, raise your hands. Just me? I thought so.

as cool as lightsabers are, they will get pwned by frequency rotating phasers. They may stop silly little laser bursts, but concentrated phaser fire from a trained starfleet officer pwn's.
i had always wondered how dr. "bones" mccoy got his nickname...now i know.
Before the movie, it was much simpler than that. "Bones" is short for "sawbones", a common nickname for doctors. It's an Olde West thing, part of Roddenberry's "cowboys in space" concept that he used in order to sell the show to the network.
One is excluded if one was not born until a couple decades later.
Did I mention that I saw "2001 A Space Odyssey" at the theater in its first run, too?
