Re: [scifinoir2] Galaxy Quest
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is one of my all-time favorite films! Cheers! Amy I had the pleasure of watching Galaxy Quest yesterday (it was on satellite). A spoof of the original Star Trek series and the twenty years its stars spent in the acting wilderness, appearing at comicons and supermarket openings, Quest is delightful in its many conceits. The main conceit is right out of the Star Trek playbook: an benign alien race has intercepted television transmissions of the original Galaxy Quest program and has misinterpreted them as historical documents. They have recreated everything from the series and have come to retrieve the original cast members to save them from annihilation at the hands of the Sarris, a scaly-skinned evil-doer. Galaxy Quest is clever and amusing and makes great use of its excellent cast which includes Tim Allen as the starship commander, Sigourney Weaver as the hot communications officer, Alan Rickman as the alien science officer, Tony Shalhoub as the head of engineering, Daryl Mitchell as the child navigator who has since grown into a man and Sam Rockwell as the crewman with no last name who always gets killed. As they have proven in other venues, Richman and Shalhoub are superb in their respective parts. Trivia note 1: Mathesar, the eternally blissed alien leader, is played by Enrico Colatoni - Keith (Veronica Mars' daddy) from the Veronica Mars series. Trivia note 2: Galaxy Quest also marks the first big screen appearance of Justin Long, the Mac guy from the Apple Computer ads. Long plays a teenage Galaxy Quest fanatic who's encyclopedic knowledge of the show's arcane details plays an integral part in saving the day. I have seen Galaxy Quest many times and still find it a pleasant way to salt away a couple of hours. ~rave! Yahoo! Groups Links -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.

My wife and I saw GQ together on one of our first dates. It's quite the awesome film, especially if you've ever been in any way involved with fandom or con running.

Re: [scifinoir2] Galaxy Quest
I absolutely love that movie. I can not tell you how many times I have seen it and it never fails to make me laugh. I sure wish it had been more successful at the box office so that they could have done a sequel.

Re: [scifinoir2] Galaxy Quest
yeah, it's a great movie. I own it too. I recognize the actor playing Veronica Mars' father more from his days as Elliot on the great comedy Just Shoot Me. Love that film, especially toward the end when the nerdy kids are pulling up schematics and stuff! As someone who owns several DVDs with specs, technical manuals, and Quicktime tours of the Enterprise, DS9, and Voyager, I can relate! -- Original message -- From: ravenadal [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had the pleasure of watching Galaxy Quest yesterday (it was on satellite).
