Stuff

I haven't done that much of interest lately unless you count going to the Aotea market and scoffing a delicious samosa before buying some dichroic glass pendants for Greg's sisters and a couple of other nice things for myself. The same guy with the unicycle and basketballs that [livejournal.com profile] trixieleitz and I saw a couple of years ago was there. Huh.

I'm entertaining myself at night with films on DVD. Last night it was Wah Wah which I found more sad than the 'heart warming' it was described as. Beautiful scenes of Swaziland though, and a great cast, including Fenella Woolgar as a horsey type; pity there wasn't more of her.

Tonight, while Greg is on a train from Sofia to Varna, it was Galaxy Quest. Man, I love that film, even more than when I first saw it because I hadn't been to a con back then. Brilliant stuff!

I love Galaxy Quest as well. "I see you got your shirt off!"

Ah yes. Greg and I hooted with laughter when we saw that in the cinema. And the tentacle porn.

I love samosas, esp freshly-cooked vege ones like I had. :-)

Galaxy Quest is one of my favourites too. Good stuff.

It is such a cool concept.

Galaxy Quest rocks. It's one of those movies that I can watch over and over and not get tired of it. :)

I'm pretty sure I'll watch it again in the next few weeks. :-)

I too am a member of the Galaxy Quest fan club.

I imagine every Star Trek fan who saw it is.

I wonder if there are Galaxy Quest cons. ;-)

Not that you have to be a Star Trek fan to like it...

I love Galaxy Quest too.
It has re emerged as a comic book:

Cool! I'll have to see if I can get it here.

Love Galaxy Quest. Not just the way it gently pokes fun at fans and conventions, but also the conventions of Hollywood SF scripts.

Now you've made me want to watch it!

"It always stopped at 1!"

Watch it! It's a thing of joy.
