Abrams doesn't like spoilers - Defends STXI secrecy

[Jackson_Roykirk]

What did people do about spoilers before the internet? I, for one, like to be surprised.

For STs III, IV and V, our ST club newsletter added "special sealed sections" where we collected every factoid we could find via the rumour mill.

Do you mean like a printed newsletter?...printed on paper?...delivered by Post?

How quaint.

Please don't tell me I'm the only one who heard Scotty's "A keyboard, how quaint" in my head when I read that!

^^Funny...

...as I typed that, I think I actually said "How quaint" out loud (or at least under my breath) in the manner Scotty did in TVH.

I've posted this before a long time ago, but I'd bet credits to navy beans there isn't a Star Trek fan around who hasn't picked up a mouse and said, "Hello, computer."

Guilty. And on more than one count.

I just did the same with the mouse. Just for giggles.

Then the girls will want pizza before the movie. That's $30 or so.

So if you don't go to the movie, the girls won't need to eat?

Good point. I guess some of those costs I mentioned are immutable.

I think the point is missed that it is cheaper to eat in than at home. Popcorn, Sodas and Pizzas are more expensive around movie theaters. And then there's Gas, a cost not mentioned

I'm walking distance from my local cinema complex. Do I have to measure loss of shoe leather?
