the journal of a fangirly insect

I know, I'm like the last person in the United States, or at least on LJ, to see the movie. :P My verdict? It is the best movie I've seen in a lonnnnnng time. It had just about anything I could want in it. I loved it, and I haven't laughed that much in a theater since I saw the second Austin Powers movie. And I really like how they handled the material ( the lone spoiler underneath here )

Also, SPOCK. I love him. Love love love love him. Still waters run deep and all that stuff.

But, that said, I have no urge at all to participate in the fandom or write fic or see the Star Trek TV series or...anything. That is so weird. D: (I am, however, going to buy this on DVD as soon as it comes out, because this movie was great.)

Whoa, I saw two movies in two days? I think that this is some new kind of record for me.

Up today: Terminator Salvation. It was one of those movies that I probably never would have seen if I hadn't been bombarded with a pretty awesome trailer every time I went to see Watchmen. The first twenty minutes or so were kind of slow, but then the action picked up really quickly. Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I may even go back to see it again before it leaves the theaters.

( spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen the trailer )

( tons of spoilers )

I've never watched any of the Terminator movies, which is apparently a crime against pop culture. I guess I'll need to remedy this, because I've heard good things about them (at least the first two), and I think that I'd probably understand TS more if I knew the background here. Although the film did give a couple of blurbs for the uninitiated, such as myself.
