05.27.07	Paramount	The summer classics series has started at the Paramount again. After getting up super early to wait in line for tickets to the last night at the Alamo then pigging out at the first meeting of the Austin Gastronauts, I didn't really want to sit at home fending off sleep until a decent hour or waiting for the phone to ring so even though I've never been a huge fan of Star Trek I opted for this double feature of what I seem to remember being the two best of the movies. Pretty much the only thing I remembered about this one was the earwig... which was still awesome. That and a few choice Shatner moments were pretty much it though. I thought it was super long and needlessly heavy and I guess even though the original TV show was way before it I still felt a pretty explicit Star Wars knock-off quality to it. But, like I said up there I've never been into Star Trek. I don't think Spock's little "illogical" mannerisms are amusing at all and I've never understood how the only problem that the Enterprise seems to ever have is a lack of enough power and don't really care if Kirk's feeling old or young. Just not that into it.
