Now that I think about it, it's kind of glaring that Tim Curry was never in Star Trek.  Heck, even Malcolm McDowell got in on the act.

BTW, the last Trek was packed with meaningful non-famous cameos (James Cawley, that teacher, etc), I haven't heard anything like that about this one.

This is the thread to talk about it. Personally, I haven't seen it yet but I've been hearing great things about it and it confirms that what JJ did with the first movie wasn't a fluke after all. This gives me even more confidence that he can actually revive Star Wars from the disastrous Prequels.

Kind of off topic here, but my local Drive-In Theater suddenly has gotten the rights to show newer released movies. Not sure how this works with what is basically a "Mom and Pop" operation where the money goes directly to the Junior High School (Middle School if you want to be politically correct). So, I'm pretty sure they will be getting Into Darkness soon. There is nothing cooler than having a a Drive-In within walking distance from my house. 5 minutes tops.

Gonna go see this again with my sister on Sunday and I'll see what she thinks 'cause she's not a Star Trek fangirl.  I'll be interested to see what her reaction is.  Maybe fewer "...really?"s, but let's just wait and see.  And I don't know if she'd be able to recognize Weller as Robocop.
