Busy, Busy

Last weekend, Blade Runner/Zardoz double feature, Bioshock, BBQ, rock band. This week one MILLION meetings. Tomorrow: NIN/JA. The next five days, drive to Utah, see the sights. It tires me just to read that list. Sigh, back to packing.

Terminator: Salvation

Meh. Thought the movie was pretty good, albeit with some plot holes through most of it. Then it completely falls apart at the end. Like, head slapping bad.

Utah Bound

Well, it looks like our road trip to Utah is a go. I took a couple extra days off at Memorial Day and booked a room in Bryce, UT. Looking forward to seeing the hoodoos and maybe some slot canyons at nearby Escalante, if I can fit my chubby body through them.

Star Trek (XI?)

A bunch of us went out to see the JJ Abrams version of Trek. I liked it a lot. Some of the people they got for the classic characters were spot on (Karl Urban as Bones was particularly great). The cinematography was sweet, the effects were cool and the pacing relentless (I remember when that was said about Terminator 2 and shudder to think what it'll be like in 20 years). The story about Kirk and company's start in Starfleet on the one hand was not quite like the original movies but decidedly less preachy than Next Gen. It will be interesting to see how it holds up on future viewings. I think it will.
