January 27 movie: Galaxy Quest. I had forgotten how funny this was! I put it in my Neflix queue ages ago, and forgot it was there. And then all the movies at the top of the queue were out (including a movie about Harold Arlen which I really want to see because I have a tribute show to do in two weeks, and I'm afraid some lazybones like me is sitting on it forever) so I got Galaxy Quest. It's a sly, good-natured sendup of Star Trek and its fandom. I still think they missed the opportunity of a lifetime by not casting Wil Wheaton in this movie. He could have been an obsessive fan who hated "Young Tommy," the child crew member. Though it might have been hard for him to do that with the affection the movie mostly shows to Star Trek fans, considering the vitriol sent his way.

I LOVE this movie! This post reminds me I need to hook up my VCR so I can watch it.
