Hey there. It was a good weekend for me. Got a lot of shopping done and took care of my list of stuff to send out to my buds. Plus, I got to check out Star Trek Nemesis on opening night.
First the film. I liked it, as a Next Gen fan from the time the show premiered some 15 years ago, I was so hoping that the film wouldn't suck. It didn't. I especially liked the second half of the movie when things picked up in gear and the battle began. Now, I won't spoil the details for those of you who haven't seen it. But I can honestly say that at the end you can see why they say it might be the last film for the Next Generation crew, but the film also sets itself up for another go around with the cast if necessary.
Personally, I think the next Star Trek film should include some members of the other recent shows, like Deep Space Nine and Voyager. It'll be daring and different. We'll see if they're willing to put it together.
By the way, this is how spoiled I've become in the world of DVD movies. Leaving the theater Friday night after seeing ST: Nemesis, I was already thinking of what the DVD would look like and will it include all those lost scenes I'd heard about.
Moving on to my Xmas shopping task. I'm now about halfway done. I picked out several good gifts for my mom and some of my friends and gotten some last minute gift ideas for my other friends. Hopefully by Wednesday, I should be done with everything and begin sending the stuff out to my friends that live outstate.
New additons to my dream Xmas gift list: The Back to the Future DVD set, South Park Season 1 DVD set, an Xbox system, a Nintendo Gameboy Advance system, games for both systems, and a laptop computer. And by the way, for any shirts, my size is large.
That's it for now. Blog at you soon.
