How Are You Getting Ready?

Taking my uniform by the cleaners to get pressed

 

[stonester1]

Trek movie marathon over the next couple weekends.

 

[Squiggy]

Non-stop masturbating.

So I've been getting ready for TREK XI for the past 20 years?

Interesting.

An epic masterpiece du cinema requires such a grand penance of masturbatory suffering.

Ordering some TOS uniforms to wear to opening night.

seriously?!

I wouldn't dare do it. I draw the line at the vulcan salute.

 

[LadyPenelope]

making all the arrangements for opening night (including shopping for the perfect colour-coordinated outfits), buying all the star trek xi memorabilia i can get my hands on, and trying shamelessly (but i must say rather successfully) to assimilate new trek fans. just the usual stuff.

 

[Aragorn]

Eating tribble burgers and watching the greatest Trek ever -- Star Trek I, III, V, IX and Voyager!

 

[Commander Kit Draper]

I've actually been looking at my Star Trek comics and memorabilia from the late 60's/ early 70's. I'm excited about this one, and it's cool to see people hyped up the way I was before TMP came out. I'm sure there are going to be things about this film I hate but I don't care. As Kirk said: "Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant!"*

CKD


* of course, he was talking about the Excelsior, so never mind

I’ve been having fun trying to find the neat promotionals that are connected with the film. I’ve also been trying to decide which showing I want to go to. I want to buy an advanced ticket, so I need to get that settled.

Just keeping up with all the premieres and other Star Trek news. Having fun talking about the movie with others online.

 

[ChristopherPike]

I'll be dabbling with sympathetic magic, by dangling a model of JJ's Abramsprise over a naked flame...

 

[SheliakBob]

I'm making sure that I'm miles and miles away from the nearest cinema showing..."that movie". I'll be deep in the woods investigating sightings of big hairy humanoids and infiltrating an abandoned, reputedly haunted, hospital. Later, ghost stories around the campfire.

Sometimes you just got to go out and make your own fantasy reality.

And if that doesn't work, it's time for the "Friendly Angel" chant!

I've obviously not thought this plan through... That's $30 of my hard earned, in support of that damn nu-Trek universe right there, slowly giving off toxic fumes!

*Cough* Damn you 'Made in Taiwan'... er, I mean... Playmates! *Cough*

Seriously... I made this same point on Facebook. I hope to God fans don't wear uniforms or dress up like Klingons or any of that nonsense. It's movie, not a convention, folks.

The whole point of this film as that it's not just for us anymore so let's not scare the straights, in the words of Peter Venkman.

I can picture it now: A line 20 miles deep half of the people in costume and the other half deciding that maybe they just want to see Wolverine instead.

 

[Klingon Empire]

Finding and ordering a good TOS Gold Uniform shirt to wear to the movie.

 

[btflash]

going to have a bunch of friends over. one who will be the designated driver and we are going to have a trekkie version of superbowl night! it will surly be an event!

 

[jenstar]

Um Im just going to sneek in the movie theatre and hope no one see my pointy ears
I might even pay for a ticket hahahahahhahaha

 

[Squiggy]

I'll be curious to know the board statistics for the night of May 8. It'll be interesting seeing who is hanging around in here.

You mean and not at the film?

Well, there could be a lot of people who just won't be able to see the movie until Saturday or people like myself who got advanced screening tickets already for May 7.

Or there could be people at the movie and using their iPhone (like me) or Blackberry and night is a subjective thing depending on where you are.

 

[DaveyNY]

Putting on Spock ears and streaking through the neighborhood.

Stop stealing MY IDEAS!!!

So help me, if I find out you're dry humping lawn gnomes too I'm suing!!

I gave up on Lawn Gnomes after I met my first Girl Friend.

We tried a 3-some once, but the damn gnome I was dating at the time, just laid there all night in a jealous snit.

Dumped his ass the next day...

...his loss... >snap<



Am I the only one around here with a Sombrero all primed to go???

Well stated, my friends. Considering many cinemas show a variety of movies, I would be worried that costumes will scare off people.
As for my plans, my brother ruptured a disc and won't be able to see it at the theater. I'll either be tending to him or perhaps seeing it opening night after all. Family comes first, even before Star Trek, for me.
