Astronauts report it feels good

[prog]

There is a Star Trek movie teaser trailer coming out. I'm too lazy to link to it because it's basically nothing, just enough to confirm that the film's in production, and to signal the fanboys to commence the freakout. (Its audio is samples of Apollo mission radio chatter that you can hear in any dime-store trance mix, for pete's sake. OK, and Nimoy. All right, fine: http://www.paramount.com/startrek. Sheesh.)

If JJ Abrams can tell an entire SF story that has a satisfying ending in the length of a single feature film, all shall be forgiven. Until then, I'm skeptical.

Meanwhile I find myself really out of touch regarding movies. I saw a friend complaining in an IM status message that someone named Cloverfield made her feel sick, figuring it was a co-worker who should have stayed home.

I never saw Batman Begins, because I felt that we've had enough Batman already, I'm sick of Batman, and I don't care if Batman Begins is the greatest Batman movie ever, the world doesn't need any more Batman. I'll probably skip the new Star Trek movie(s) for the same reason.

...Actually, that's not true. I just remembered that the real reason that I won't see the new Star Trek movie is that I already swore off all Star Trek a long time ago, right after season 1 of Voyager.
