Today was another TV day - I can't help it, I didn't have a TV at school and I missed it. *hugs TV* (Side note: HOLY SHIT I CAN'T WAIT FOR BURN NOTICE TO COME BACK. I keep seeing commercials for it, like, every five minutes on USA, and they make me squee like a freak every time. BURN NOTICE. OMGGGGG.)

Anyway, I ended up watching Starship Troopers. )

I have more to babble about, but we're leaving for the Star Trek movie in about two minutes, so I should get moving. Also: a thunderstorm moved in during the last half-hour, complete with hail, and damned if it didn't sound like God was emptying a big bucket of marbles on the house. Yikes.

ETA: More thoughts! Probably less organized, because I am still coming down from Star Trek! )

Sadly, I can't really comment on the ending. I'm not really all that good at watching movies that involve a lot of really gratuitous physical violence: I can practically make myself throw up just by thinking about the one five-minute section of the Kill Bill movies that I actually saw, and the sheer sadism in The Dark Knight has made me cry through the entire thing both times I've watched it. I hung on pretty well through this one, but then I got to the part where - spoiler? This movie's pretty old, but just in case - ) and that was just it for me. No more. :P So.

OMG OMG OMG OMG. AWESOME. *flails* ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥!

That settles it, I will love Star Trek until the day I die. Hot damn.

Ahem.

More specific (and spoilery) flail within. )

In conclusion: A++++++++++ WOULD WATCH AGAIN (AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN-), I will campaign as long as I have to in order to get my mother to agree to get this on DVD. Harry Potter may have been the gateway to online fandom for me, but Star Trek was the gateway to fannishness, the thing that showed me what it felt like to immerse myself in a source text and love it, and I will never, ever let it go.

... Man, I'm getting a little verklempt, here. I'm going to go finish bibbling about Starship Troopers before I actually start crying or something. :D
