Hahaha, that was great. I felt the same way when they made new episodes of Red Dwarf, the special effects just weren't crap enough.
And I really want to see that movie. I`m not a trekkie, but it looks good. And have you seen the reviews!? 100% on rottentomatoes and highest score on metacritic this year, can`t be that bad.

Aww man, the thing on the ticker about unemployment being more of an issue for men than severing a dick vein was great. Movie correspondent was hot

As I die-hard trekkie who spent over $4k on the DVD sets of all the series, I hated the whole idea and have been vocal in IAB forums in the past about the new movie. Having now seen a couple of previews and some behind-the-scenes docs, I'm thinking, maybe they did a decent job after all. Still haven`t seen the movie, but I`m opening the mind a bit toward it atm.

"Yes, Gene Roddenberry was the hack who created 'Star Trek` the television show, way back in the 40`s or something". lol, priceless.
