So like 70% of my f-list...

I went to watch the new Star Trek movie... who apparently is already called Star Trek: Reboot XD
Man, I love it.
I went with my brother, and an old friend of his (once girlfriend) who wasn't familiar with the franchise besides general popular knowledge. And there were a bunch of kids (probably just a bit younger than me/around my brother's age but still)... and one of then was obviously a fanboy. The kind who is very loud. It was annoying at first, but I couldn't help but feel endeared when in one of the moments he was just too loud to even his friends to bear and they told him to "shut the hell up" and he was all "fuck you, let me LIVE this movie!!!"
Anyway, the movie... I... I actually teared up a bit after it ended. Dunno if it's because it was just that awesome or because I am a gigantic wuss. Maybe a combination of a bit of both... Man, it was like reliving my childhood. I remember being 10 years old and watching Star Trek: The Next Generation or the Original Series movies on the TV, with my dad and my brother, while mum muttering in the background about us watching "idiotic things" (Nothing personal about Star Trek, she just didn't enjoy what we liked to watch... like Looney Tunes) and they were such wonderful memories...
My brother was also very excited at the end of it... and he also commented about how he remembered those things from his late childhood and early adolescence. And how those were powerful memories of his bonding with our father over something. And how the movie was cool and totally didn't ruin his childhood memories like the Dragon Ball: Evolution movie did XD (Yeah I totally agree with that too).
Man, I almost cried over that freaking movie...
I ALMOST CRIED OVER THE NEW STAR TREK MOVIE!!!!
I am such an über-geek!
But the movie was just that great for it. It was awesome. Its sound effects, its special effects, its plot, its script, its characters... OMG THE CHARACTERS!!! It was like watching old friends again only younger and more attractive!!!
James Fucking Tiberius Kirk, Mr. oh-so-sexy Spock, Leonard H. "I'm a doctor" "Bones" McCoy, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, Nyota "I'm the sexiest smartest woman on board" Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, and Pavel Andreievich "I'm so cute" Chekov
Man... and all the inside jokes and all the references... AND THE CATCHPHRASES!!!
And then... LEONARD NIMOY.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU, LEONARD NIMOY!!!
... And the plot itself, was awesome because it washed its hands about how we can do a reboot without totally ruining the Original Series but also doing new stuff.
And the ending... I was tearing up then... Oh man! And loud!fanboy was all "classy :D :D :D"
Finally... THIS?



MY FREAKING HET STAR TREK: TOS OTP BABY!!! SO HELL YESSSSSSSSS!!!
Oh course you all now the slashy one is Spock/Kirk because DUH!!!!



Then let me help you:



See now?!?!

"Space... the Final Frontier, these are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before"

*tears up again*

Oh, SHUT UP!!!!

This is so good. I'm so excited about it. I've always been a trekkie, but never in the ST fandom, and it's time to redress that.

I'm totally opposite. I am not much of a trekkie, sure I love the series to bits but I don't put on Spock ears and/or uniforms or know any Klingon or go to fanclubs or conventions :P
But I am sure as hell aware and enjoying the fandom XD

No, I didn't put pointed ears either, but I watched the series and the movies and read the books, and wrote fanfic in my head (it was way before the internet so there was no fandom back then. I don't even know where to find fandom, but I've made [info]st_reboot and [info]regan_v has set up a rec journal. Next it's the [info]st_newsletter. Yes, we need infrastructure.

[info]st_reboot_recs. It's just taking off the ground, but we're certainly preparing the infrastructure for fandom on LJ.

Good! It is totally entertaining for all and also nostalgic for ones who watched and loved Star Trek.

I love it
the beginning, when Kirks daddy just goes all berserk, (well, as berserk as you can go when flying a huge space ship), and is all over the missiles those damned romulans launch and goes in to ram them, I shed a quiet tear

almost like when Gandalf stand up to the Balrok, it's like, you know he's not gonna win, but he goes anyway.

*sniff sniff*

dammit, you'r wussiness is rubbing off on me

oh yeah, I got control of my addiction, I needed to sleep it off

woohoo
