I do wish that I could write in something other than fangirl squees. This may not be possible. I just saw the new Star Trek movie, and it is better than any other Star Trek movie I have seen. The casting is inspired - some familiar faces, but mostly new ones, perfectly pitched. Eric Bana is a lame bad guy, but it really is all about the Kirk/Spock chemistry (no slash intended), and that is just perfect. It is also very funny, which is a little surprising, but in a pleasant sort of way, and it surrenders none of the principles of the original series. Beautifully done and absolutely riveting. Go see it, it is wonderful. Even for non-fangirls. Not just by Star Trek standards; Star Wars has nothing on it. Go.
In other news, I just acquired two zombie books, one of which is called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. You can see why I had to buy it.
Now off with you, go see that movie.

LOOOOOVED the new Star Trek! It would only have been made better with the inclusion of tribbles, but I say that about a lot of movies....
And, uh, that sexy elevator scene?! OMG
I know - one of my life's great mistakes was not buying tribbles in Vegas. Also, I am entirely with you on the elevator scene. Mmmm.
Thanks for reminding me about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
I saw that a while back, went 'I must have it', and then inexplicably forgot about its existence. But I must have it!
Also, please stop making me want to go to Star Trek, I'm not even that much into it, especially since it seems to lack Patrick Stewart.
Aaah zombies! And yes, I also love Patrick Stewart but the new movie is AWESOME and has sexy Spock. Trust me, it is worth it.
