When I see QoS, it will be because I have an interest in seeing a new Bond movie. The fact that a trailer for a movie from the guy that did Alias, Lost, and Mission Impossible 3 is irrelevant.
Snort. Humbug!
Well as I said in another post I was looking forward to QoS (which actually means turkey sandwich in Klingon) before learning the trailer would be attached. Won't be midnight but tomorrow morning before I head to work.
Anybody here in Portland, OR going to the midnight showing? Any trek fans in Portland at all?... (*Cricket sound effect*) ...... Alrighty then...

Yeah, I'm in Portland, but I go to work at 7am, so the last midnight show I attended was probably back in the 90s ... I'll probably see it Sunday morning, be the first thing I've seen in a theater since ... geez, I don't even remember. Oh yeah, saw DARK KNIGHT once, and I saw THE FOUNTAIN and X3 a few years ago ... man, I must not get out much.
when i moved up here there were TONS of movie revival houses in this area, but in the last few years, catching 2001 and STRANGELOVE and TOUCH OF EVIL and WRATH OF KHAN and MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE in theaters were the exceptions ... maybe I only like to see movies I already know I like?
Anyone else going to a midnight showing tonight? I'll be at the Boston Fenway theater! If so, are you going for the trailer, James Bond, or both? For what it's worth, I'm definitely going for both.
Anyway, I'm super excited and just wanted to share! STAR TREK!
I would, but I gotta work at 7am tomorrow so I'll probably see it afterwards. But, definetly, I'm going. I hope the trailer will be worth it
And the movie!
I think I may walk down the street and catch the midnight show.
Don't forget the new Watchmen trailer.
I used to be from Portland but have since transported...er transplanted (sorry, bad pun) to Boston. Although, it's been my experience that there's a disproportionately large number of Trek fans in PDX. And, I, too, love the revival movie theaters. The Brattle in Boston often gets 35mm prints of old stuff like Hitchcock and it's teh awesomeness.
I'll be posting as soon as I get home!
JUST as a suggestion to those going to the Bond showings.
1.) Congrats.
2.) Just an idea, but if anyone was planning just to stay for the trailer and then leave during Bond.. if you don't have anything to do for the next couple of hours or have to be anywhere, I might recommend just hanging out and watching the whole film regardless. Some Bond fans might get a little upset if you are getting up and leaving before the new movie starts. I would think Star Trek fans would be as well if this happened at the new movie. I know some of the Bond fans might be aware of the Trekkies in the audience. As a fanbase where "Give it a chance" is the new tagline, out of courtesy to the Bond fans I would return this courtesy to them.
So, give the new Bond a chance as well, even if you haven't been in to Bond before, you may like it! And hey, you might get more value for your dollar and the Bond/Mainstream fans may just return the courtesy to us and Star Trek this summer!
Not to be preachy, but just some thought for everyone of course. Your call though. I know if I had the opportunity to do this I would too!

I'll see it online Monday at http://www.startrekmovie.com
That is a good, thoughtful idea, Devon. Thank you for sharing with us.

I am actually going for Bond. I've never been a James Bond fan, but I recently saw Casino Royale and loved it, so I'm interested in the movie, and the trailer is a nice bonus. I've been to one other midnight showing (Dark Knight), and thought is was a different and fun experience, so when I saw that QoS was having one, I figured it would be fun to get my second midnight showing in.
