Menagerie on the Big Screen November 13th!

I would have gone to see it if it would have been in my local theater, which is 33 miles away!

It bothers me when they show trailers for stuff they won't show in their theater. They did run the Menagerie preview but I would have to drive 70 miles to see it.

Seems like a false advertisement.

They also won't show Michael Moore's movies. They have the right not to but I think it's wrong of them to show the previews and not show the movie when it comes out.

Yeah, I had planned to see it in Austin too...got busy with other things and didn't go. It sounds like it was a great experience. I wonder if anyone dressed up like Klingons...OH, who am I kidding? Of course they did! Austin's unofficial motto is "Keep Austin Weird."

We just got back, it was a lot of fun. Not too many people showed up but it was a good group. A lot of giggling at Spock and Kirk. Overall I'm glad I went!

mann.. i wish i could have seen some klingonz. :D
I think the premiere of the new star trek movie should have an interesting crowd show up. :]
And i hope they sell shirt for the movie because I can't ever find any my size on ebay. :/

I had a lot of fun watching the "movie" this past Tuesday. I managed to bring a girlfriend of mine who has never watched Star Trek before. She said she really liked it so now it's time to show her more episodes. Hopefully, she'll get hooked.

"The WOMEN!" :laugh: That was simply too funny.

As you can see, I sported the podcast t-shirt that evening.

She actually said that she'd rather watch TOS rather than the newer hi-tech special effects series. And yes she did say that Shatner's "very handsome."

I like that you wore your Treks In Sci-Fi shirt! Glad you guys had fun. :)

One thing I noticed is a LOT clearer in the enhanced version is how they soften the lens when they do closeups on the "woman of the episode". It wasn't as apparent in SD but in HD blown up on the big screen I could really see it.
