"Space... the final frontier"

Thursday night I went with Keara, AJ, and Zac to see "Star Trek." When I think of the television series I think of the only thing I had to watch when being sick at my Grandma's house; I see a bald guy that looks like Daddy Warbucks from "Annie" in a futuristic outfit and by futuristic I mean like not really at all; I think of nerds and bad special effects; I think of a show that took up at least two channels during daytime TV. I hate Star Trek.

Wait is this the same actor? Someone let me know!

I loved Star Trek the movie (I'm sure there's a more specific title to go by, but I just don't care to look it up.)- thus proving the movie as a complete failure and deprivation to its loyal fans. I did see these fans losing their mind during the flick through the actions of wheezing, snorting, chuckling, eating, clapping, sitting on the edge of their seats, etc. But I don't know? It seems like the people in it were way too good looking to be space nerdz. If I want to be interested in the technicalities of space shipping and other galaxies I'm going to need some nerdy looking actors to fill me in about it because I cannot take these pretty people seriously...at all. I think I just liked it because of the foreign accents of the Russian boy and Scotty- everyone loves a funny accent, right? The fact of the matter is I didn't get confused once and I knew absolutely nothing about Star Trek. But I guess that's how you reel in the gen-pop community, nerds only buy so many tickets...and they usually go alone, so you can forget that whole idea that when boys are interested in a movie they can persuade their girlfriends to go- which increases ticket sales because these boys don't have anyone to bring but their nerdy comrades. So the poor writers had no choice but to sellout and make a movie that would appeal to even to most uninterested girls like myself. It worked. Congrats you got us all...well maybe just me.
