 Hey, that new Star Trek movie is awesome. I was skeptical, but I enjoyed every minute of it. The cast is excellent, the story is great, and it moves like a house on fire. It was criticized by a lot of hardcore fans for being a break with tradition, but it hit me, in the first five minutes of the movie, that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I thought it was true to the things that make Star Trek enjoyable, but it also asked for very little patience from the viewer, and didn't go entirely overboard with fanservice. I highly recommend it.

I had the pleasure of watching it last night with Rebekah,* who is both a movie buff and a trekkie, so I couldn't have picked a better Statler to my Waldorf.
