So I saw the new Star Trek movie... several weeks ago.

I work for a movie theatre, and it's generally an unsatisfying job. However, the day after I got back from my Vegas trip, my boss told me that I had to go to the NATO meeting. NATO is where the movie studios show previews of their upcoming movies to movie theatre exhibitors. It's usually six hours or so of sitting around and watching trailers (most of which I've already seen).

This time, however, they also showed "Star Trek."

Let me just say this... the movie kicked ass! They should have called the movie "Kick Ass"; it's that damn good!

And one of the best things about the movie... Zoe Saldana. She plays Nyota Uhura, Communications officer (who knew Uhura's first name was Nyota). Zoe is hot. :)

All things considered, however, I'm not going to become a Trekkie or dress up as a Klingon at the next comic convention. I've got enough going against me.
