It…was…awesome!

Looks like you’re talking about Star Trek. I wouldn’t know for sure because NBC was only able to notify me, “We’re sorry, but the clip you selected isn’t available from your location.” Must be a national security thing.

I’m sure it is. We don’t want you dirty Canadians watching our national treasure, Saturday Night Live, up there in Eskimo land.

Hah hah, Eskimo land. You tell him, Dave.

Mr. Patti saw it, said it was amazing — you couldn’t tell some things were special effects. Soooo, I hope he realizes it’s not real. Wrestling, yes. Star Trek, no.

Merno and I always enjoy media coverage the big movie openings here in the lower 48, because they always find a way for the blockbuster of the week to break some record. Biggest 3 day consecutive tally. Biggest non holiday opening. Biggest non sequel weekend. Fastest film to 100 million. Biggest Tuesday in May that was not overcast. Best weekend ever for a black guy not named Will Smith. Star Trek broke The Dark Knights record of biggest 3 day IMAX opening. So I guess I should go see it now, because “The Hangover” doesn’t open until June 9th.
