Star Trek movie time
See the guy at the left, who's blocking all but part of the head of a taller guy? I'm the taller guy. The two guys in front of me weren't even there for the movie; they were guys I knew from school who happened to be passing by shortly before the Edmonton Journal photographer took a shot of the lineup for the movie premiere. I've tried to make it to all the Star Trek movies on opening day; I was in small towns when Star Trek II and III came out, so I was a bit late for those two.

This time the movie premieres on a Thursday, with no matinees, and I just don't want to deal with the crowds and craziness of an evening show. And I want to see it with Laura; we met not too long after Insurrection came out, so the only Trek movie we've seen together in a movie theatre is Nemesis. So Friday afternoon it is. One day late, but hell, it feels like everyone else has already seen one of the preview showings...

Congratulations on being the taller guy.

Heh. Just always struck me funny, getting on the front page of the newspaper and being unrecognizable. I was a lot more excited about the premiere of TMP than I am about this new movie; sure, I intend to see it ASAP, but I'm feeling pretty blase about it.

Your excitement about TMP was perfectly understandable, seeing as how we were just coming out of The Great Drought, where for years all our Trek needs were being met by Filmation and Bantam.

Being 16 instead of 46 may also have been a factor.

I would've been in Saskatchewan back then, and just dumb enough to not see the movie in the theatres. Can you believe it?
