Glad THE NEW YORKER Wasn't Bored

I think it speaks volumes for the integrity of the folks at The New Yorker to assign their review of Star Trek - The Motion Picture to somebody who treats it fairly even-handedly.

Medium-boring?  Maybe in places.  Forgive the wrinkles and thickenings?  You betcha.

The reviewer watched the film with the right crowd.  He said that he felt like he was sitting in a clubhouse.  And he was correct in calling aspects of Roddenberry's philosophy "ineffable humanistic nonsense."

But unlike the guy at TIME magazine, the reviewer at The New Yorker at least paid attention!

See you Thursday.
