Stopping watching now. Going to try and hold off to Thursday!

Yep, I've not watched ANYTHING since the last trailer. Want a few surprises on wednesday.

Really? How are you avoiding all the coverage? Especially the TV spots? My god man - you work in the industry! hehe ;)

I don't watch live TV and I fast forward through commericals. I read stuff here and there but I'm really trying to void seeing footage.

And I have to say, I'm excited for this movie but not uber crazy. I haven't bought my tickets yet and I'm not sure I'm going to go opening day.. opening weekend yes.. not the Thursday it opens.

It's ok Kenny - I'm uber crazy enough for it to cover all of us!

I know what happens in almost the entire movie and I can't wait to see it.

Thanks Rico for picking up the slack :) Now if it was a TNG, DS9 or Voyager movie I'd be there first screening...

That's an interesting comment, Kenny, and one I meant to include in the audio comments I sent Rico. I think for TOS fans, this film is very polarizing, people are VERY passionate one way or the other. For fans of the post TOS era, it seems to be generally good feeling but not the same fervor as among those of us, myself included, who think TOS IS Star Trek despite the fact that TNG was a better overall television series. I think the fact that this is a Kirk/Spock/McCoy based film is testament to how universal those characters and all the TOS characters are. I bet you any non-Trek fan can name those three names but would be challenged to name anyone from TNG.

Back to the promotion stuff. Burger King is going to have Trek glasses too (made of real glass). Ahh, this brings back memories of hunting down "Empire Strikes Back" glasses back in 1980!

Bryancd · May 02, 2009, 04:05:51 PM

I ate a lot of Whopper's looking to get those glasses in 1980!
