Trek XI's World Premiere at Sydney Opera House
- Thread starter Orac Zen
- Start date
Hey, I'm in Sydney and I can be a tastemaker.
Actually, I do know a few local likely invitees. I hope they get double passes.
I was at the huge Sydney gala premiere for Star Trek IV in the 80s. I actually helped to organise it! We had to find 100 genuine Star Trek fans in costume for that night. The rest were over 1000 celebrities and "tastemakers": soapie stars of the day, plus representatives of the business world, advertising gurus, magazine editors, TV movie buffs and pro newspaper reviewers... and Jeanne Little.
And many of them were huge Star Trek fans.
And yeah, these people are essential to spread the word to the masses that the new movie's worth seeing.
I sure hope this Opera House was buid in orbit and not on the ground! 
I hope Roslin, Baltar and Hera enjoy the premiere. 
1600 people? "The wait is over:" we'll know all the major plot points and spoilers for the movie by April 9th.

Yeah, my thought exactly. I'm going to have to really test my will by trying to avoid this site altogether between 4/9 and 5/8.
Every thread will likely be spoilers.Heck, youtube will likely have it soon thereafter...
Yeah, I think my rule from here on out will be to only read reviews of the movie that aren't filled with spoilers beyond what I already know.
Not that Nemesis was great, but one thing that really ruined it for me was that I knew everything about the story, every major plot point before I even saw the movie...
Don't want to repeat that mistake.

I was going to say something along those lines but I was afraid of starting a BSG vs Star Trek war.I hope Roslin, Baltar and Hera enjoy the premiere.

(BSG would win btw)

Meh.

Ain't that the truth. I may have to cut off my internet to keep from being too spoiled.
Now can I get a ticket for that?? I might even travel town there for the day.
That seems to be the sort of event for which, if you're not already on the guest list or know someone who is, you wouldn't be able to buy a ticket at any price. Closed party, is the impression I get.

You assume they won't be so wasted on free grog that they'll remember everything.

Well I'd think a couple people here would sell their car, Xbox, DVDs, second computer (but not their first), go to the blood and sperm bank, just so they can have enough money to go to Australia and see the premiere so they can be the first to tell us how right they were that it sucked and wasn't worth their time.
As I said, I was at the huge Sydney gala premiere for Star Trek IV in the 80s. And yes, the alcohol was free-running. Colourful vodka cocktails, Romulan ale, whatever. As many as you could drink. Many of the celebs were dozing through the movie, but they'd already sat through a long awards show. They did wake up for the disco afterwards, though.
