OH MY GOD THAT MOVIE WAS AWESOME!

I can't even believe how much fun the new Star Trek movie was. It was... it was... HELL IT WAS AWESOME GO SEE IT GO SEE IT GO SEE IT GO SEE IT!!!!!

As the closing credits began (to the original series theme music) I said the only thing I could say that could describe how much I loved that move. I said, "I WANNA GO AGAIN!"

It was awesome. Every character was perfectly cast. I am thinking that the new Dr McCoy may actually be the reincarnation of Deforest Kelly. He was THAT spot on with his performance. Kirk was the perfect skirt chasing action hero. Sulu was the source of a few good laughs (as was Chekoff, who was perfect) and eventually flung that big ship around like it was a toy... and then kicked the crap out of Romulans with a sword. Uhura was an actual character instead of just the voice of the voice of the computer (see Galaxyquest)... she was integral to the movie. Finally! Scotty... Scotty... damn it if Simon Pegg filmed himself watching paint dry I would watch him watch paint dry. He was fantastic. Spock had all the conflicts that the old Spock was implied to have, including losing his temper twice. Twice! Bana was... there. Nothing special on him, but there didn't have to be. He filled a need in the film for a nut case bad guy and did it effectively.

I'm sure I'm missing some things. Suffice to say the movie is worth it just to see the triumphant return of the Captain Kirk Swaggar. Yes Swaggar needs to be capitalized there. He was perfect in the roll. Couldn't have been better.

I loved that movie and I want to see it again twenty or thirty times before it's cinema run ends. I loved it.

The Bruins however.

I got in the car in time to hear the start of the second period. Bob Bears told me that the Bruins dominated the 2nd half of the second period but the score was tied 1-1. It took 67 seconds for the best player on the Bruins, Captian Zdeno Chara, to take an idiot penalty that lead to the Whalers winning goal. Then my old favorite Sergie Samsonov put the final nail in the coffin about 10 minutes later or so and I turned it off.

I could never have imagined actually falling of the Bruins wagon, but after the horrible, terrible, embarassing performances I've seen and listened to over the last three games I can honestly see no reason to watch them get eliminated tomorrow. There is no hope, they have given up. I am now a fan of whoever plays against the Whalers in the next round.

I hope the Bruins prove me wrong, but it is 100% obvious that they will not.

Yesterday was my 38th birthday. They failed to wish me a happy birthday. In fact they showed they hate me just as much as those friggin pricks in San Jose do.
