Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.
Oh my god, you guys. This evening I got out of work early and went out with one of my friends to the movies to see Plan 9 From Outer Space. And not just, like, the regular movie. It was with an ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK with an orchestra of live musicians and an electronica dude, as well as live actors dubbing over all the dialogue. (Website here)
I was expecting it to be fun but I was not prepared for the sheer fucking awesomeness. THAT WAS SOME OF THE BEST TEN DOLLARS I HAVE EVER SPENT, HOLY SHIT. Next week they're doing the same treatment for Missile to the Moon (3 dollars off if you have your ticket stub from this week!), but I can't get off work early then. It's tragic.
I also recommend reading the goofs page over at IMDB for the movie, whether you've seen it or not, because ahahaha.
I should be getting to bed now because tomorrow is Saturday and I have work early, but instead I am going to watch more TOS. Latest episode watched was Shore Leave, which featured more Kirk beating people up, which is my most favorite as you probably know. Also a plot ridiculous even by TOS standards, because, uh, it ended by solving every problem the plot had raised (people dying and in danger, energy getting sucked from the ship, creepiness) not by any actions on the part of the crew, but by the alien showing up at the end to go "Oh, hey, my bad. Have fun!" Next up, This Side of Paradise!
This episode is so good, you guys! Spock's soft-focus love with his own flutey theme music! And the only better than Kirk having fight scenes is a fight scene where Spock beats on Kirk. *___________* HOT.
