  1. it’s the ultimate seattle date: a passive-aggressive, eeyorish invitation to a nerdy activity that starts too early.

  2. Don’t make the poor guy feel like you are doing him a favor when he is the one taking YOU out.

    If you really don’t want to go, don’t go. It’s an amusing movie and a good way to spend an hour or two with someone you like in the dark.

  3. it’s fun, and funny. also, the little kids behind me in the theater were providing priceless commentary. i recommend it.

  4. (although why there is a red exothermic monster on an ice world I’ll never know – and the cycle rate on 1701-C phasers is way too fast in a certain scene)

  5. A perfectly acceptable response to a request like “I don’t suppose you’d want to see the Star Trek with me” would be “You are correct, sir!”

    Tell us how it is.

  6. 1. Go to QFC and steal a bottle of $8.99 red wine.
    2. Drink the whole thing (you know you can handle it).
    3. See the movie.
    4. Write a bitchy report tomorrow about how the movie is sexist (you know you want to).

  7. Oh come on. It’s just a movie. People are supposed to like movies, at least the ones that don’t suck.

    (Consider the alternatives. 1: Sit at home, alone. That’s fun. Woo. Yeah. 2: Find something else to do and quit whining. Waste a few hours on YouTube if you have to. 3: Complain about it every time someone asks if you’ve seen the movie yet. Need I continue?)

  8. Gosh, Erica, I am SO SORRY that someone dared to backhandedly invite you to see Star Trek. On behalf of all men everywhere, I must apologize for this terrible insult.

    Subject: sure!

  10. The part of the movie that bothered me the most was the female cadets in mini-skirts. Seriously? Flying through the Galaxy fighting alien enemies in mini-skirts and knee-high leather boots? Oh yeah, that makes all sorts of practical sense.
