Having grown up watching the original series (before it went into re-runs, yea showing my age again) there was no way that I was going to miss this movie on opening weekend and it didn’t disappoint!
JJ Abrams having not been a fan of the original series or movies was the perfect choice for the directors chair since he had no previous bias, the script and special effects, along with all the right catch phrases at all the right times made this 2:06 movie worth every popcorn kernel that I have to spend 2 hours in the gym working off.
To top the weekend, the surprise appearance by Chris Pine (Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock) and Leonard Nimoy on SNL last night really hit it. This movie is totally worth seeing, even for non-fans and a sequel is a must!
Speaking of sequels, SNLs Andy Samberg & Justin Timberlake finally did a sequel to “Dick in a Box” and it’s posted here, they did it again! I was pulling the video from NBC.com but the site is ragged, thank god for Hulu!
Mothers Day will never be the same again!
