Star Trek in IMAX for a second limited showing

[retro_eidas]

Apparently Star Trek is back in IMAX theaters this weekend, probably as one last hurrah for the end of Summer and to tide over the truly ill nuTrekkies (like me!!) craving the blu-ray in November.

Yup. I'm going again. It really is an illness. I should seek help, perhaps after I go digging through my laundry to find my LV con t-shirt.

EEEEEE!! Trek in IMAX again!!! EEEEE!!!

FYT here's the chibi nu!crew being chibi (by KotoriK from DevArt)

I was going to post the hotness of nuKirk/Uhura but suspected possible defriendings if I did such a thing *smirks like the evil shipper-of-possible-future-geometrical-romance-angst I am*

I approve of that image as I approve of Uhura's Harem (TM). They really are adorable. :) *pinches chekov's cheeks*

Nice little caboose on chibi!Uhura there. :-D /lesbian chauvinist piggery

You wouldn't be suggesting that I would ever do such a thing, would you? ;)

Ooh, ST in IMAX...Maybe my dad will want to do that over Labor Day weekend...

Such a lovely Harem it is too! Though she should be ashamed, is Chekov even legal in the future? XD

I was totally going to post a cute Chekov "I can do zat!!" gif, but can't seem to find it. *fails*

But... but... she's CHIBI!! [/scandalized]

I actually almost posted the other day asking, "So where is all the hot, hot, hot Uhura/Gaila?" but didn't bother, as I suspected there probably wasn't any. Sigh. Fandom.

OF COURSE NOT!!!!

*rapidly hides magazine with Kirk/Uhura cover under the bed in fear of maiming*

I kid, though I find it amusing three folks I know are quite into the Spock/Uhura on my flist are the three that respond to this post first. lol *is lonely in her obviously crazed, misguided Kirk/Uhura shipping boat that I somehow just couldn't seem to help jumping on board*

Labor Day weekend, forgot about that completely. Which also means a packed theater. Very glad I have my ticket already. XD And yes!! You should totally go so we can revitalize our sad nuTrekkieness and find that damn floating R2D2!

I've seen more Nu McCoy/Chapel in fandom and Chapel wasn't even in the movie. Come on, prolific fandom. Stop failing with the girlslash.

It's a damn smexay harem, yes. :)

in the movie, we have to wait another year; but in TOS, he's very much legal at 22 years old. :->

[bana05.livejournal.com]

Well, we know why...

[bana05.livejournal.com]

I'm actually not against it; it just doesn't pique my ficcing interest like S/U, and this is mainly because of TOS and there was just something extra with them. And I also like Mc/U (I told you I like my harem! lol). I do read K/U fic, though, but primarily off LJ.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do. :-/

[stoplookingup.livejournal.com]

I could easily ship Kirk/Uhura or K/U/Spock. Very easily. I am quite open-minded that way. ;-)

I heard about the Imax thing but discovered I'd have to go into the city, and I simply don't have time. But otherwise I would go again in a heartbeat.

[eido.livejournal.com]

It's a damn smexay harem, yes. :)

Uhura certainly knows how to pick them. ;) It does make me wonder though where all the ugly people are in the future. Statistically speaking, there's got to be some out there. lols

How can you not love the Harem? It's not only the aesthetic factor, but the whole cast pretty much has chemistry with each other. TOS and reboot alike. The much less noble, shameful parts of my brain keep falling back on Dionysian type debaucheries.

Exactly this. Exactly this.

[bana05.livejournal.com]

Yes, but they weren't allowed on the bridge :(.

[eido.livejournal.com]

bana05 also assures me I won't get fandomly stranded on Hoth Delta Vega for my shipping prefs either. Yay!! Not ostracized from my own flist! XD

I'm pretty sure it's only playing for the weekend, but considering Labor Day, I'm wondering if it extends to Monday too?

[stoplookingup.livejournal.com]

According to this page on the Trek movie site, it's starting Sept. 4: "This new engagement will be limited. The next IMAX movie scheduled is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs opening September 18th." The implication seems to be that at least in some theaters it might stick around until Sept. 18th. The site lists all the Imax theaters running ST.

ETA: Oops, sorry, just realized you linked the same page.

This could just be me, but lurking around I've noticed lately there seems to be an improvement in the quality of K/U fic on LJ (as in, not ignoring her rel'p with Spock and a more organic development between K/U that stays true to both characters). Dare I hope the fic overall continues to improve?

[bana05.livejournal.com]

I like the organic development. I think Uhura has chemistry with everyone. My personal preference leans more toward Spock and McCoy, but there's definitely a foundation of mutual respect between Kirk and Uhura that I think could be developed by the right writers. I'm glad they don't ignore her relationship; and I hope they don't make the breakup something very juvenile. They are two grown, mature people and I think that even if a relationship doesn't work out between S/U, they would definitely be friends.
