nemesis

Parki, Jeff and I went to see Nemesis yesterday. I went in with pretty low expectations and sadly, my expectations were met. In my opinion, the movie didn't suck (Parki and Jeff disagree with me) and I'm glad I saw it, but I wouldn't want to see it again. It was like a mediocre two-hour Next Generation episode.

Until this year, my friends and I used to line up on opening day for every single Star Trek movie. This year I didn't, mainly because I didn't want to go through the disappointment yet again. I suppose I keep hoping for another Wrath of Khan, which is my favourite of the Trek movies.

Or maybe I'm expecting too much. How many ways can the crew of the Enterprise save the world, after all? The writers must start tearing their hair out trying to come up with original ideas, especially since they're not allowed to let the characters develop in any significant way.

Here's a Nemesis review (sort of) by my friend Reid.

Speaking of lacking in original ideas, we saw a poster for a live-action version of The Cat In The Hat, starring Mike Myers. AUGH!!!

Enjoyed a sushi dinner at Lily last night. Afterwards, Jeff went gaming at Vartan's again, and Andrew drove me home (thanks, Andrew!).
