With the long summer days, I feel like staying out until 10 is almost sensible

Boy, I have been having way too much fun this week.

Tonight I went to see Star Trek with shadowdaddy, and we had a bit of a probalm as the theater we went to first wasn't showing it anymore. This forced us to go to a semi-nearby cinema, where we managed to get in before more than, oh, 5 minutes of the beginning.

I live tweeted the showing, since the theater was almost empty and no one could see me using my phone. It was really fun. shadowdaddy thought I was the most irritating thing on the planet. That may be true but it wasn't because of this.

My vote: Star Trek is a perfect popcorn film, of the sort I haven't seen since one of the XMen movies (can't remember which).

Anyway, I have GOT to get to bed earlier. I suspect tomorrow will be my night to actually get in bed on time.

If you don't mind raging sexism and weren't wanting decent sci-fi.

As far as the sexism went, it just reminded me exactly of the series.

Didn't you like the space ships and the interiors of the Romulan space ship?

The original series was really progressive for it's time. Lets not forget they originally had a woman first officer but she was shunted by NBC because they thought she was too assertive, so they put a black woman on the bridge. Find me another show from the era that had a black woman doing anything that important? This was so much worse than that. It's scary that nowadays gender stereotyping is worse than in the 60s!

Um, no. I've seen better space battles on television. But to me good sci-fi is not down to space ships but interesting and consistent plots about what-ifs. Not something with enough plot holes to work as a sieve.

But I did buy us tickets for Ghosts on the 31st of July!

I think we'll be doing much better for plot with Ibsen. :-)

And possibly much better equality too!
