I saw it last night.  I agree that the casting was superb, the plot is weak, but it's a pretty fun summer blockbuster.  The main problem I had was I saw the midnight showing last night (yes...I got in), which I really regret because the theater was full of Trekkies, so everyone was clapping after almost every line.  I haven't watched many of the past movies/shows, so I felt like I was watching some big inside joke that I wasn't a part of.  Therefore, a lot of the comedy is reserved for people who are very familiar with the series.  The Live Free or Die Hard comparisons are solid.  It's brainless, summer blockbuster fun that probably would be pretty terrible if not for the cast.

I would have bet 900 Vulcanbucks that there would be absolutely no way you'd miss seeing this dorkfest of a movie on opening night.  I would have won those 900 vbukaroonies too.  I would have spent them on condoms.  You know, Weebs, to use during intercourse with a girl.
THERE ARE TOO MANY MEN ON THE FIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you expect, nerdlinger?

But he saw it first, that's what counts.

Wait wait wait wait.  So did they bring the projector out to the curb?

You are literally the Baltimore of Desipio.
Just when it seems that you couldn't possibly do something else unbelievable, you go ahead and trade for Joey Gathright.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

So, here's the newest rumor, fresh from an inside source:

One of my good friends has a friend who is friends (sounds like a 90s teen comedy) with Sean Gallagher.  Apparently she got a call yesterday or today from him and he told her he's headed to Baltimore, and the trade will probably be announced tomorrow or Monday.  Again, it seems like a pretty unreliable rumor, but I've met this person before and I know she is friends with him, so take it for what it's worth.
"So, this old man comes over to us and starts ragging on us to get down from there and really not being mean. Well, being a drunk gnome, I started yelling at teh guy... like really loudly."

Just wanted to point out that this is awesome, and I intend to steal it.

Wow...I was a huge fag.  "Sounds like a 90s teen comedy."  That's fucking ghey.  I apologize for ever trying to defend myself.

Real Chads don't use condoms, they use abortions'ed.

So is it ok to post spoilers yet because there was a huge fucking plot hole the size of a singularity in that movie.  Bothered the fuck out of me.

No spatial extension, sure.

But infinite density, too.

Not large, but still massive nonetheless.

Well, now I'll be looking for it.  Thanks a lot.  I'm gonna feel pretty silly when I don't even notice it.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.
