Unfortunately it appears that, at least for now, Star Trek will not be playing on the IMAX in Calgary. It shocks me that this is the case (especially since they are running the trailer in the IMAX at Chinook) but that seems to be the way it is, for now.

It just seems really silly. And as far as the second one goes, I wonder why Engineering on the Enterprise looks like a boiler room.

I dowloaded it a few weeks ago when it game out. Has a little target practice game, screen caps, and videos. Pretty cool.

Note sure if anyone on here is interested but Burger King is (as of today) offering collector Star Trek glasses. Apparently they are very good so it might be worth checking them out.

The Glasses
It is a surprise, really. But arguably one of the best Star Trek collectibles based on the new feature film, and perhaps one of the more intriguing Trek items of all time, could just be the Burger King collector’s glasses that are available starting May 4th at local restaurants. It has been about 25 years since a fast food restaurant produced Star Trek glasses. The wait was worth it. Burger King has four Star Trek collectible glasses, one available for purchase each week. Each glass comes in a ultra cool box that features a ship and a checklist on the back. The glasses are Kirk/Enterprise, Uhura/Enterprise, Nero/Narada, and Spock/Original Spock with Jellfish Ship. These are probably the best restaurant glass premiums since the 1977 Star Wars glasses and certainly the best Star Trek glasses ever made. Next to each of the characters is a clear delta insignia that allows for you to see the image on the back of the glass framed and almost as if third dimensional. All around the glass are frosted etchings of the ships and the Star Trek logo. The glasses are real glass and classy, looking great as a display and certainly worth getting more than one for use and safe keeping.

Damn. I thought the app made it so that you could fire a weak laser out of the camera lens or something.

Awesome the reviews it's getting. I convinced my girlfriend to come see it with me. I'm excited but will probably wait a couple weeks because I hate packed movie theatres.

Yes, I sure did.

William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Trekkies.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Ears" ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Ears" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just a TV show dammit, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW!

I will definitely be catching this movie this weekend. It looks great. I am an old school fan of the series (not a 'Trekkie', though), but I can appreciate an updated version of the classic.

I'm probably going to wait a week or two before I go. I have a mixed sense of dread, this movie is either going to be an all the way great for me, or all the way bad. There will probably be no inbetween.
