I saw the first New Trek movie, I did not see the second one. I may see this one. Is it a rehashed TOS story that they decided to rewrite because they know better? (no, I'm not bitter)
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

Connie, no, it's not rehashed; it's all new. You can put that last monstrosity right out of your mind.

I think I've seen those Twinkies around here, Epic. I'll keep an eye out when I go grocery shopping this weekend.
Thanks, Sail!
Good to hear the positive reviews of Star Trek, going to see it tonight.
P.S. Sail, is Ellen M. on Fitbit you?

Yes, I'm Ellen M. on Fitbit.
eta: Welp, wasn't gonna watch Suicide Squad, anyway. More reason not to, now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know what the heck is going on with my local independent theater -- they never had Ghostbusters, and have Bourne on the big screen this week. Star Trek is in a smaller theater. So I guess I'll see The Lobster!

The Lobster, you guys. Anyone else see it? That was some weird shit, and either the perfect or the worst movie to see alone.

I've been debating. Based on my boyfriend's description, I didn't think I'd like it, but I feel I'll regret not seeing it.

Yeah, I was interested, but a friend said she found it deeply unpleasant and upsetting.

I did not find it upsetting, but maybe equally enjoyable and unpleasant? I don't know, I laughed and also gasped with WTF. I would say I liked it, but that's such a milquetoast word to use for such a wild experience!
But I think I only find real-life stuff actually upsetting, for what that's worth.
