Star Trek.  Although it was a fairly entertaining movie, I was occasionally struck by what might have been religious terror during the film.

Can you elaborate on that?

Because certain elements of the film were absolutely horrible.

Bad movies however do not usually inspire bouts of religious terror.

See, it wasn't a bad movie.  However, there were certain parts of it that were shocking and terrifying to an old time Star Trek fan like me.

The big one was the fate of Vulcan.  The stupid look of the new Enterprise was another.  And that's not even taking into account things that annoyed me but didn't cause terror, like the odd slowness of the Romulan ship, the unusual behavior of warp drive, and the fact that Kirk made captain before he even graduated.

Um wot?

Star Trek. Still too many goddamn nerds in the audience.

My tricorder says it was: Enjoyable.

Really?  The theatre I was in was packed, but full of all sorts.  There was even a guy next to me complaining about how fags couldn't give blood.  I thought of Martinus and laughed.

This movie is going to make a shitton of money.  There will be sequels, and probably sequels to those sequels.

There is a college about a mile down the road, so those people were in there.

That would explain it.  My theatre was located in a retail subdivision hellhole.  And on a long weekend with bad weather, to boot.

last night I finally got around to Stephen Fry's Evelyn Waugh's "Bright Young Things (from Waugh's "Vile Bodies") The Jazz age was a fun time to be an aristocrat... of course punctuated by alcohol/drug induced tragedy, and old families suddenly with no money, and the war and all. chin up though cheerio, pip pip and all that.

decent if a bit stagey in the performances. Captures the era and the debauch pretty well.

7 ghastly parties that just anyone can be invited to out of 10

The previous evening I watched 2 movies. First: "The Naked Prey" by Cornel Wilde. Great white hunter becomes the hunted, but manages to hold a platoon of Bushmen at bay while he runs for civilization. great use of wild kingdom-y stock footage, and actual use of native languages and mores without being too exploitive.

Next I stayed up late watching the recently released Fritz Lang Film Noir: ManHunt. Another Great White Hunter (Walter Pidgeon, who is  the only movie star ever from my home province) movie, but in this one, Pidgeon almost kills Hitler, but instead is chased through pre-war England by Nazi agents and Scotland Yard until the war actually starts.

great noir, with dames (Joan Bennet forced to say the awesome-est most cornball schlock in an olde British Hooker accent) and bullets, and be-monocled Nazis.

It's kinda weird to watch an episode of Modern Marvels about the Berlin Wall, and think, "That music that they have playing to illustrate post-war, Soviet Berlin sounds familiar", only to realize it's Bill Goldberg's WCW entrance theme.

Star Trek - the story was boring as it was not innovative at all and it had some huge logical plot holes, yet I still enjoyed it. I really liked the cast. Good choices for all the roles. I am looking forward to see more of that crew.

I don't recall exact phrases but it was all very Eliza Doolittle
