Admirable Intentions…
Poor Hank Pym – he just can’t catch a break at all, can he?
Also, my daughter and I went to go see “Star Trek” yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. I have to say, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Now, I’m a pretty old time TV show Star Trek fan but I was never “married” to the show like a lot of other Star Trek fanatics are so maybe I had the right frame of mind going into the movie. The only thing I had a little bit of problem with was Spock having a relationship – I’m not going to go into spoilers here, but for those that have seen the movie, you know what I mean.
That was really the only negative point I really had with the “re-boot”, so to speak. I could get a little picky and say I wish Eric Bana would have had some kind of accent as a Romulan war general… I don’t particularly imagine Romulans as talking as normal as you or I might. On television, they always seemed to have a super superiority complex and talked as such. That seemed missing from Eric – but that is a SUPER minor point. It certainly didn’t distract from the movie. And I rather enjoyed all the nods to the TV show – including the character backgrounds like Sulu being a sword fighter. Fans of the old TV show will easily recognize the shout outs to them in this movie – and even a few references to “The Wrath of Khan” as well. I thought that was particularly super as well.
On to other news…
In the last two days, I have written 12 cover letters and sent out 12 resumes. It will be Monday morning when you’ll probably read this so by then, I will be repeating the process all over again.
Wish me luck!
Thanks!
