sechan19Today's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! featured Leonard Nimoy in a segment entitled, "You're Not That Spock, Either!"--a that's-not-my-job game. During the interview portion of the segment they talked about the upcoming Star Trek movie that features young actors in the classic roles from the original TV series. Nimoy heartily endorsed the project, asserting that it will be a wonderful film. He also discussed his short role.
So, I suddenly feel torn. When I first heard about this project, I was really disgusted with the concept. I still dislike it on a fundamental level. But I do respect Leonard Nimoy, and his endorsement of the project leads me to think I should give it a chance. And I wonder if I shouldn't allow myself to lock into that nothing-could-be-as-good-as-it-was-when-I-was-young mentality that is the hallmark of every old grouch, and that such an immediate dismissal of a new Star Trek film foretells.
So I guess I'm withholding judgment for the time being, and we'll see how that goes. It hasn't exactly been my strong point in the past. Heh.
