That's My Favorite Guy!
So, a few weeks back The BFF and I found this great coney place we had never tried before. It was kind of funny though, because that week we had spent at least three hours on the phone talking to each other and then two more hours that afternoon when she came down and then two more hours at dinner and we never ran out of things to say. It’s

After I saw the first reboot, I stood up in the theater as the credits started to roll and shouted 'What the hell was that?!'. This time, I managed to keep my mouth shut, but probably only because I wanted to cry.
The thing is, they're great movies. They really are. They're just not Star Trek. Hey, JJ Abrams? There's no such thing as a 'warp stream'. And if there is now, then your new universe is stupid! Also, why the hell did you need your warp drive back online to fire your thrusters? One has nothing to do with the other ( ... )

Which is probably why I liked it and you didn't. I mean, I watched Star Trek when I was younger and it was on the TV - (my dad was a huge fan so it was on our TV a lot though myself I preferred TNG to the original) - but I wasn't fannish about it. It wasn't 'my show', you know. So I am able to enjoy the reboots as just a fun afternoon at the movie that hit all the things I look for in a good movie.
And I have very little memory of the original Khan movie - (aside from, "Wow, Kirk and Spock are really good friends, aren't they, Dad?") - which probably helped immensely towards my enjoyment.
... Heh, okay, I guess I can talk about it :)LOL, feel free ( ... )

Really? What else is coming out beside, uh, Iron Man 3 (done), Star Trek and Thor. (is Thor during the summer?) I can't think of anything I am overly excited about until the new Hunger Games comes out, though I am definitely looking forward to Thor.
My advice on the new Star Trek is...if you liked the first reboot (you did, right?), go see this one. If you are a hardcore Trekkie (you aren't, are you?) just skip it because apparently it is sacreligious.

I'm a pretty big TOS fan, but I very much enjoyed the first reboot movie. I don't actually think of it as a reboot so much as an AU (I mean, it really IS an AU, so...). I'm sure I'll be fine with the version of Khan's story that they give me, even if (as according to some) all of Kirk's coolness is handed to Spock instead. We'll see.

Hansel & Gretel was fun! It wasn't overly stellar storytelling or anything but it was exactly what it promoted itself as - fun with hotties.
I kind of want to see The End, which is basically Seth Rogen and his boys in a movie about a group of friends who find out the world is ending and try to decide what to do with their last night on Earth. It makes me think of like what me and my fangirl friends would do if we found out the world was ending and we just decided to like hang out and chill with each other.
Now You See Me.
Hmmm, sounds familiar. What is that about?

YES! If people get too picky with the differences in the world I will often yell at them, "Alternate Universe!!" like a crazy person. Idk that much about the original Trek anyways to nitpick myself but even so...Alternate Universe, handwave.
