Had a bit of a movie marathon.
This weekend, I finally watched the second through fourth Star Trek movies.
I enjoyed The Wrath Of Khan well enough, until we got to the end, and then I just flipped my shit, because seriously? Spock is my favorite, and I just kept yelling at my brother throughout the last five minutes about how that was so much shit, and that could not possibly have really happened, wtf.
So then I spent the next day stewing over it, and eventually figured out that this would be where the katra thing that I keep seeing all over the fandom would fit into the storyline. And then I was kind of okay enough to watch The Search For Spock, which I did enjoy. Though that one scene between Saavik and little!Spock, on the matter of pon farr and Vulcan finger-kissing, made me feel distinctly squeamish. But yeah, anyway, the ending left me feeling much happier than the last one!
Of course, after that, my brother convinced me to watch The Voyage Home, because it was so utterly ridiculous. He informed me that mom hated this movie, but wouldn't tell me anything else about it. So I just figured, eh, what the hell? And omg, that was the most hilarious crack I have sat through in quite a while. XD When the probe started emitting that noise, it was like a lightbulb switched off in my head, and I shouted "WHAT THE FUCK, IS THIS THE WHALES MOVIE?!" - which sent Owen into a laughing fit, and mom heard me from upstairs and added her two cents about omg that is such an awful movie WHY ARE YOU WATCHING IT?? LAWLZ. But yes, holy crap, I just could not get over how low budget (STARFLEET PERSONNEL WANDERING AROUND SAN FRAN IN THE 80'S, WUT) and cheesy it was. I don't think I've laughed that much during a movie pretty much ever. Just... everything was so utterly ridiculous, with Spock communing with the whales, and that Super Disguise!Bandana of his, and Scotty and Bones dicking around at the engineering plant, and that entire debacle at the hospital. Bones' attitude towards 20th Century medicine is just so great. XD This is now my go-to movie for when I need a laugh, srsly.
