Thank you all for your info and directions to various theatres were Star
Trek II is playing.  I went to the one at the Somerville Circle (it is
also at the Amboy Cinema 6) yesterday afternoon during the dinner show
when the crowd was light and I had a GREAT time!!  I highly recommend it
to any old trekkies or trekkors (please let me know if you need an
explanation of the difference between the two).  For all of you out there
who aren't going because "I'd look at Ricardo Montalban (aka Khan) and
think of 'Fantasy Island'" don't worry.  He's as mean and nasty as when
he played the role 15 years ago in one of the episodes of the original
series!  There's NO WAY after 10 minutes you'll think of him as Mr. Rourke
of Fantasy Island!

The SPFX are quite good and he flavor of the movie is very much like
the old series.  So go enjoy.

ps  I would like to exchange ideas on a few quirks of the movie for those
interested (some loose ends that hint at the basis of the sequel have
gotten me thinking).  Please mail comments to me.
