amazing_holly's first trip to the cinema being such an amazing film? PRICELESS.

So, yeah, we spent our lottery winnings on going to see the new Star Trek film. And at some bits Holly had to hold my hand. And at some bits we hugged. And at some bits we giggled. And when they hid behind Titan and came up through the clouds and you could see Saturn she said it's SATURN! I LOVE SATURN! But best of all was at the end when we were hugging each other and going YAYYYYYY!!! and Leonard Nimoy said Space. The final frontier....

Oh man, that was amazing. And as the credits rolled she started sniffling, and tears rolling down her face, and I asked her what was wrong. She said I'm sad it's over, mummy!

That's my girl.

Oh yeah, matgb and I really enjoyed it too. Might be a proper review later when I come down from my high.

:D

i'm still on my high! i keep murmuring about vulcans to myself and i'm itching to go see it again.

I would love to see it again. We're not going to be able to afford it right now, but we can save up for the DVD.

i was lucky, since my mates had some free theater tickets. i did NOT expect i'd like it this much, honestly! it was just something i agreed to earlier last week, and was in the middle of an utter jungle of a day. i was just, THRILLED, all the way through! and what a fab film for shrubbly to see! but, MAN, it was great to see it on the big screen. i'd like to see it in imax, but i don't think they released it on imax in canada.

i've watched the trailers a few times since i saw it, and have been wondering if it would be cheaper to pre-order the DVD. and i've also been watching the "new" star trek series, and chuckling at the fella who plays spock... his eye makeup is remarkable. (i'm half-expecting him to throw off his uniform and start singing, "Sweet Transvestite".)

I was expecting it to upset me lots. TOS is my favourite Trek era. I am so RELIEVED LOL.

[shishmish]

So I gather its okay then? I was shit scare to see this, simply because I like the original cast too much, oh and that Simon Pegg always looked like a Ken doll in his promo shots with that dark hair.

Wicked, I'm so pleased Shrubby loved it and also that it wasn't a big let-down for you. What an excellent film to be the first that she went to see.

I must get me and Dave out to see it although we're both rubbish at getting our arses in gear to actually go out and watch something (like we missed Watchmen which is Dave's favourite graphic novel, and didn't see batman either. Absolutely rubbish!)

[miss_s_b]

It totally gets the SB seal of approval. I wouldn't say there was one performance that really jarred, and so, SO many loving recreations of characters I love. Even Amanda. Even T'Pau, although she doesn't speak.

And Uhura completely kicks arse.

[miss_s_b]

I would really recommend it. If I was in any sort of stable financial position, it'd be the IMAX for me at the weekend.

[matgb]

she said "it's SATURN! I LOVE SATURN!"

I didn't hear her say that, must've been too close to you. Still, cool.

Do a proper review. Get better links than I managed.

[miss_s_b]

She squeezed my hand when she said it too ♥

i expected it to be a MESS, but.... it was perfect! of course, leonard nimoy helped LOTS (vulcans vulcans vulcans fascinating vulcans!). as soon as i saw him on screen, i couldn't help but cheer. LOL

And I have been, and always will be, your friend

SQUEEE!!!

That's great - both that the film's good (TOS is the only Star Trek I'm hugely fond of) and that she enjoyed it so much.

(I was reminded of her at the Who convention I went to the other week, BTW - there was a seven-year-old girl sat in the front row whose question to Sophie Aldred was "You were the first person I ever wanted an autograph of. Who was *your* first autograph?")

Re: GUSHYGUSH!/

he also quoted Sherlock Holmes/Doyle! and the redshirt! i couldn't keep still!

(it's obvious that trekkies wrote it, eh? LOL!)

[miss_s_b]

Holly loves Ace. We might have to get more McCoy era who DVDs when we have some money. I only have RotD.

I LIKE other Trek, but I LOVE TOS. I used to watch it with my dad. We used to get relegated to the dining room to watch it on the little black and white telly while my mum watched the news. I wish we'd have taken him with us to see this.

Re: GUSHYGUSH!/

[miss_s_b]

Mat and I grabbed hands over Holly's head when he quoted Holmes.

I need a Brett!Holmes icon...

[andrewhickey.info]

Feel free to ask to borrow any of mine - I've got Survival and Fenric as well, and I have Ghostlight and Silver Nemesis as .avis which I could burn you (I still have to get The Museum Of Curiosity to you at some point, don't I?)

(Survival would be a better one than Fenric for Holly - tiger people and the Master are much more exciting than EvilevilfrombeyondthedawnofTIME! and Nicholas Parsons).

I can *watch* TNG or Voyager (and in fact I think Voyager's the only one where I've seen every episode) but TOS *IS* Trek to me, and everything else is fanfic, from the pretty good (TNG) to the appaling (DS9). Much like my opinions of Who, actually.

[karohemd]

Hurrah!

Re: GUSHYGUSH!/

~PURRR!!!~ i have the Brett Holmes on dvd! want a piccie? just name the episode.

Re: GUSHYGUSH!/

[miss_s_b]

pmoodie bought us the box set for Christmas or my birthday, so we has them too. I think I am going to want one with Mycroft too, because Charles Gray Mycroft is the shizzle.

[miss_s_b]

* nodnod *

Of the newer ones Voyager is definitely my fave, and I can watch TNG quite happily, and I find DS9 really DULL.

Re: GUSHYGUSH!/

[addyit.livejournal.com]

what a lovely present! it's strange you should mention it, 'cause i watched "The Empty House" this morning.

damn, i loved Charles Gray. RHPS, Sherlock Holmes, Shock Treatment, James Bond.... You Only Live Twice is my favorite.

[andrewhickey.info]

Once again we appear to have the same brain. Star Trek should be about seeking out new life and new civilisations and boldly going where no man/one has gone before. Not negotiating Ferengi/Cardassian border treaty dispute resolution sessions, or father/son bonding...

The Man with the Golden Gun. Or Live and Let Die. Or Goldeneye.

Hmm. I'll stop there.
