Can't wait to boldy go where a million other geeks will have already gone before

Lookee what I got today!

It's just as cool on the other side.

I'm going to collect all four!  Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and Nero.  I'll have to eat four Whopper Jr Value Meals to get them though.  Ugh.  I'm already sorry about today's.  Oh well.  The things we Star Trek geeks do for love, and, yeah, I admit it, I'm a Star Trek geek, and I'm excited about the movie.  I was trying to remember the last movie I was looking forward to as much, and then it dawned on me.

The Voyage Home.

I wish I could go tonight, but I have to wait until Sunday.  The Mannion guys and I are taking the blonde to the matinee for Mother's Day.

Yes, this is something she wants.

She's a Star Trek geek too.

If you're one, and you have to wait to go to the movie too, here's something that might help tide you over.  Actually, this is a pretty good introduction for anyone who isn't a longtime fan who will be going to the movie.  It's a video essay from film critic and blogger Matt Zoller Seitz:

I expect some people are going to think that Matt went a little overboard by bringing Birth of a Nation and Imitation of Life into it.  More discerning types will think he went too far in including Leonard Nimoy singing "Everybody's Talking" and "Where Is Love?"

Personally, I think Matt only went wrong in not including this:

Or maybe not.

"I'll have to eat four Whopper Jr Value Meals to get them though."

No; you have to BUY for WJVM. Eating them is optional.

Fascinating!

I have never been to a movie where in the middle of the action I had the urge to walk out at the height of my reverie so that I could return at some later date to pick up and never have the movie end.

I never want this to end, and that's true even after I'm dead.

Oh and BTW I'm off to Burger King tomorrow.
