SPACE! The FINAL frontier!

So I know most of the known universe will be going to see Star Trek when it comes out this weekend, but for once I'm actually going to be fairly booked up with social thingamabobbies, so the chances of wedging in a Trek trek (aheh) are slim.

But out of curiosity, is anyone (local) up for doing a group Trek viewing next weekend? If so, speak up! I'll be over here going "LALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" meanwhile at everybody's movie posts until then. ;)

ETA: Turns out my Friday night plans have shifted, and we'll be shooting for a Friday night show after all. However, chances are high that I'll want to see this thing twice, so the question will stand for next weekend too!

I am so very ready for this movie. spazzkat and I were talking about how it'll be a very nice change of pace to get back to some "bright optimistic future" sort of SF, and Star Trek, when done right, delivers that in spades. Bring it on. Give me the "space is really, REALLY cool and we need to go explore it!" adventure!

And also, I hear from seimaisin, who got to see a sneak preview, that it was highly enjoyable indeed. So fingers crossed for failure to suck.

Also: I am stricken with an urge to break out "Banned from Argo" for this next Jam. If any occasion calls for resurrecting that, it's the release of a brand new franchise-rebooting Trek flick that hopefully won't actually suck. I think I even have the chords somewhere. Muahaha!
