We're going to see the Star Trek movie, finally. And I think the below person DEFINITELY deserves to see the movie uninterrupted.
(I'm the tallest one)
I worked really hard on that halloween costume. I got the nose putty for our ears from Taylor Maid in the University Mall. You can't see it, but I also embroidered a little star trek insignia on cross stitch fabric and sewed it onto my sweatshirt. The eyebrows included a liberal use of mom's make up. Sorry mom!
Anyway, that kind of dedication is worth something, right?
Kris hadn't seen any of the old Star Trek movies (or didn't remember them). In fact, he was a star trek scoffer. So me, having been a serious fan in my tween years, but later growing out of it, figured it was something we would never share, and I was ok with that.
But then he said we should watch all the old movies before we went to see the new one. And we did. Kris even borrowed a projector while Kelly was here and we watched three of the movies on the big screen (and by that I mean a big blue bedsheet hanging on the wall). It was awesome. And both Kelly and Kris have been enlightened. So now at least they're not so rude about Star Trek. That's progress.
Anyway, wish us luck that we get to see the whole thing. I'm sure we'll need it!

Fingers are crossed. That picture- you girls look so serious. Char is so intense. Cam? Along for the ride, I think. I'll look for something in my cache of images, too, guessing at the year. I do hope you get to go tonight. Although I have to tell you I'm amazed that some of those movies convinced ANYBODY. How'd the blue sheet work out for you?
you neglected to mention that we watched some original too. They were pretty boring, not as boring as Star Trek I, but they were still pretty self important.
My fingers are crossed, well they will be when I'm done typing. Enjoy your date night!
I want to know if your evening was a success. Remember the time we got called out of the movie because of the water disaster in the upstairs bathroom?
Love you
Dad
Soooo? Did you get to go? Did you have a wonderful uninterrupted evening?
Good thing you explained that picture. I didn't even see the ears, eyebrows etc. Very cute. Of course you have to go to Star Trek after a Halloween like that. I liked the movie so I hope you got to go and you liked it too or more importantly that Kris liked it since he is the hard one to convince.
The pager was quiet! We got to eat and watch the whole movie--it was amazing. We must've really needed it.
Kris didn't get to totally relax because he was wondering the whole time when it was going to start beeping, but it was still good.
We had fun and we both enjoyed the movie. Watching all the old movies first was really good though, it reminded me of lots of stuff, and then Kris caught all the jokes and references and knew the old characters.
I want to see the new movie, but haven't seen any of the old ones. Do I need to in order to enjoy this one?
Hi Beth!
I don't think you _need_ to see the old ones before you go--it would still be fun to see. But I think it makes it a lot more fun to have the background. Kris and I were just talking about it and were glad we took the time to watch the old movies, even though at least one of them is seriously boring. :)
As another Star Trek fan, I have to ask what you thought of the, um, alternative reality aspects of the movie. I was discussing it with Jason's brother because, while we both liked it, we were sort of in shock, saying, "this changes EVERYthing."
I fought my Dad's Trekkie influence on me for awhile, but I've come to embrace it.
Speaking of which, have you seen Trekkies?
I am so glad you were able to enjoy your evening. I had no idea you were a Trekie and yes, I can totally see Kris being pretty anti Star Trek, so I am glad you convinced him otherwise. I will admit, I have never seen (or don't remember) any of the old movies, but I did see this new one and I though it was AWESOME! However, I think that might be all because of Chris Pine...but oh well.
I'm glad you got to see the movie! I remember watching episodes of the next generation in your living room. I remember the sweater, and it was soooo cool. Live long and prosper.
