I watched Zack & Miri Make a ****o the other night.
It was strangely unexciting. I lost all interest after seeing Seth Rogen partly nude.

"Debbie Does Lubbock" was the only prequel I ever saw, and by strict definition, it "sucked".
I saw "State of Play" last night. Pretty entertaining movie. Not sure I fully appreciated the major plot twist at the end. But up until that point, the movie did an excellent job of building interest and suspense. One scene was particularly tense, and one of the best done pieces of suspense I have seen in recent years.
I saw that one twice with my son, but not in 3-D. We won't see it again, though, because the second time around he decided the giant eye robot scared the crap out of him, and tried to crawl between the cushions of the seat. Honestly, I couldn't even remove him from the theater. Fortunately he kind of calmed down and was fine to watch after the initial rising of the robot from the crater.

Okay, so since the survivor game is over, or at least my role in it, I can admit that I finally finished watching the LOTR trilogy for the first time last night. I liked them and would give them a 4 out of 5 stars on my netflix rating but there were quite a few parts that I thought were pretty boring and I lost interest. They were very well done as far as the cinematography and special effects go and the story line was great.

Saw Star Trek last nite (opener in an IMAX) and it was. . .
. . .wait for it. . . .
AWESOMENESS!
Even non-trekkies / scifi revelers would like this movie - characters were spot on too (Ohura significantly hotter though)
Best line - "Damn it Spock, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!"

Glad to hear it is worth it. I'm going tonight with two coworkers (who are male). Hubby said he is uncomfortable with me being out after midnight with 2 guys, but that I can go as long as I go straight home after. And I just KNOW he'll make me pay for it all weekend by being a miserable.... ummm....a ... hole. But screw him, I wanna go. The digital theater around me only has two show times today and the 9:45pm one is the only one we can make, so it's not that late.

I know, it was SICK! RIDICULOUS! [insert negative adjective that actually implies awesomeness here] - they did trivia before the show where correct answers got you a t-shirt, they gave t-shirts to folks who dressed up (surprisingly pretty mild, at least at 7 pm show), they had a news camera running around doing spot interviews, it was alot of geek fun!

There's an IMAX here in the local furniture shop a few miles down the road. Sounds weird but yeah it really is part of a furniture shop. No one I know has any interest in seeing it, so I will probably go check it out solo one night after work next week when my wife is doing pig surgery and won't be home until late anyway. Tickets are only $10.50 for the IMAX, which is really no different than a regular theatre.
So EM, were there a lot of 30-something guys who live in Mom's basement dressed up like Klingons for opening night? I saw all the Star Wars prequels at the midnight premieres and the dork factor was pretty high.

We didn't go to the opening night of Star Trek for fear of encountering Trekkies.
I love me some Star Trek, and in this one John Cho plays Sulu and Simon Pegg (who I adore) plays Scotty. I'm dragging Mr. Bug to see it next weekend despite his protests.

There were some 'comic-book guy' lookin' people, some of who had printed out trivia sheets from the 'net just to try to score t-shirts (cheaters!) - there was one pretty good Spock i saw, right down to the pointed ears & long-sleeve blue uniform shirt & black pants. But mostly, just people having misc Trek insignia t-shirts or stupid stuff like "Beam me up Scotty" shirts. It seemed to me most of the crowd was 20-something yr olds wanting to see what Trek is all about, as was the long *** line of folks for the next showing - It was probably more of a mixed crowd than that - just the younguns were rowdier maybe. This was in Grand Rapids (pop ~200,000), so other towns might have a bigger or more skewed freaks-n-geeks quotient :tardbang:

My folks went to see it yesterday. I called my Mom in the evening to say Happy Mother's Day and they were gushing over it. And these are people who watched the original series as young adults in the 60s. So I figured if anyone would be critical of it, it'd be people like them. They said not only is the story excellent, but the characters are true to form without being imitations of the originals.
She said she found Karl Urban as McCoy to be particularly good.
I think as far as physical resemblance, Quinto is a dead ringer for a young Spock. So its weird when he speaks and doesn't have Nimoy's deep, gravelly voice.
