thewayneMay the Fourth be with you!
I hope Disney doesn't muck up the new series, I guess we'll find out. I'm a little paranoid about them getting Ford, Hamill, and Fisher back. That series started almost forty years ago, I remember seeing it as a teen in Phoenix. I know Harrison Ford is looking very craggy, saw him on Craig Ferguson a couple of weeks ago, and Carrie put on a lot of weight. Going to be interesting seeing Han and Leia as retired people. I have no idea what Hamill looks like these days, he mainly went to voice acting for a long time.
We watched the Abrams' Star Trek movie last night as a refresher as the new one opens really soon, and to be honest, I still find it kinda *meh*, and I'm not sure why. The characters are kinda cool, especially Simon Pegg, as limited as his appearance was. The Kirk/Spock characters really didn't grab me, I think Kirk just struck me as an arrogant jerk, but at least I could see his evolving arc a little more clearly.
I'll definitely see the new movie, and the new Star Wars movie whenever it releases, but what I really want is to buy the original Star Trek collections, which will cost about $100 for all three seasons. *sigh* Maybe one of these days I'll get a job.
Tonight or tomorrow: Iron Man 3! W00ties!
