	Rusted Halo - That's awesome that some of your best friends are Trekkers. You're right, fights between fans can be stupid things. Thank you for your concern about my feelings too, it's appreciated. No worries, apology accepted, and I'm glad you'll be aware in the future how statements like how you highly-loved Trek-bashing scenes might appear to people when they read it on the internet like that. Yeah - I was going to bring up Karl Urban in Xena to make his Geekdom Hat Trick, but thought that might be too old school, but what the heck, let's give him a Texas Hat Trick!

	The red skinned monster that chases Kirk into Spock's cave is so very similar to the monster from Cloverfield (JJ's movie from last year - seems like JJ really liked the concept and decided {as a homage to himself perhaps??} to include a version of it in Trek). I don't think it's too early for Trek to have new movie - in fact, their timing is probably really good for the franchise. From what I've seen this weekend, loads of people love it and really dig the new look and direction. -----signature----- Never tell me the odds! Your focus determines your reality.

	Neat - like an easter egg, sort of like the way Peter Jackson always cameos, 1138 shows up in all Lucas' films, and there's hidden Mickey Mouses all over Disney. -----signature----- Calgary FanForce! http://www.calgaryfanforce.com/

	It was a fun time at the movies and I'm glad I enjoyed it with friends. I have some nits to pick with the film, but on the whole it was two hours of escapist fun that had me grinning from ear to ear when I left the theatre. The Alexander Courage theme from the original television series was the cherry on the sundae when the credits rolled. With the release of Wolverine and Star Trek the summer film bonanza is off to an explosive start, and I can't wait to see what else is in store. ~StacyD -----signature----- 'There is no emotion, there is peace.

	Dr. Haggis mentioned to me that ILM had included R2 in Trek as an Easter Egg, so I looked for it upon my next viewing. I believed I spotted him on the Enterprise (on the back of the ship, riding it X-wing style) but was unsure as the quick cutting and lense flare make it hard to see clearly. Gizmodo has posted a screen shot of the scene in question - and it does indeed look like R2 is riding/navigating the Enterprise (see TF.N's main page for the article) Yay! -----signature----- Never tell me the odds!

	Caught a few films in the last few weeks: Terminator: Salvation Leave your brain at home. That being said, I really enjoyed this latest chapter in the Terminator saga. It's a great action flick, with the CGI being practically flawless. Sure there are some plot holes, but with the timeline being altered three different times, I think we can overlook a few flaws. The surprise cameo near the end was SO AWESOME!!! Keep in mind, John Connor is pretty much a secondary character in this flick - Marcus Wright is the focus, and I really liked where they went with his story. I hope they do well enough to do another - along the same lines, with no time travel. Yet. UP Pixar at it's FINEST. Absolutely LOVED this movie. It's not your typical Pixar film either. A simple storyline becomes more complex as the characters find themselves at difficult emotional crossroads. Within the first 10 mins of this film, I was shedding heartfelt tears. By the end of, I felt like I'd ridden an emotional rollercoaster. From tears of sadness, to tears of joy, laughter, suspense, and surprise........there's a bit of everything in this movie. Only Pixar can get you so emotionally vested in their characters - make them feel so real - in such a small time. The 3-D technology isn't spectacular for the 3-D effects. But what makes it great is the DETAIL you get to see, and the depth it gives the film. From the threads on Russell's Wildness Explorer badges, to the weave of the fabric on Carl's shirt - it's simply stunning. I highly recommend you see this film (although there's more for adults to enjoy than kids). Have yet to see Angels & Demons and Drag Me to Hell - but I've heard positive things about both. This week, it's Land of the Lost and The Hangover! -----signature----- Never tell me the odds! Your focus determines your reality.

	I totally agree about UP - incredible emotional complexity. I still feel quite melancholy over it, but it's a good melancholy. I loved the design and feel to it too, nothing too flashy, but very solid and warm. I didn't think they needed to do it in 3D though, I'm sure the 2D version plays just as well. -----signature----- Calgary FanForce! http://www.calgaryfanforce.com/

	The Hangover Bloody hilarious!! Of the 3 main characters, Allan - the brother-in-law - is the funniest. He's so completely random. It's rated 18A for a reason - especially when the credits roll ;o) -----signature----- Never tell me the odds! Your focus determines your reality.

	Finally went and seen Up yesterday. What a great show. One of Pixars bests. The short film before the feature was also great. Up was better than Wall-E. Not that I didn't like Wall-E. Like Yrol said it was an emotional rollercoaster, and only Pixar can do this to you and get away with it. Defiantly recommend seeing it 3d. -----signature----- Y.N.B. - 07 @ C4 Calgary Fan Force Home Page http://www.calgaryfanforce.com .

	District 9 was riveting! Graphic, a bit gory, intelligent, compelling and original science fiction. -----signature----- Calgary FanForce! http://www.calgaryfanforce.com/

	Agreed - District 9 is simply awesome!! The story borrows ideas from a lot of other films/tv shows (Alien Nation anyone?) however - HOW the story is played out is quite original. I don't even know how to describe the movie to people - it's got a bit of everything. Sci-fi, action, political/social commentary, drama.... The special effects were truly stunning, and it's so hard to believe that the main actor - Sharlto Copley - has NEVER acted before....??!! The man deserves an Oscar for his performance - seriously. Definitely recommend it. The Ugly Truth - meh. Pretty predictable and not that funny. More adult than most comedies - if only for the language used. G.I. Joe - I agree with Dooks. It was, like many summer blockbusters - shallow in plot, with some good action scenes thrown in. Snakes Eyes was truly wicked to watch. Once again Ray Park is phenonmenal! -----signature----- Never tell me the odds! Your focus determines your reality.
