I have always had some trouble separating movies from reality. It's not that I don't know that space aliens don't exist and people can't actually do (most) of those stunts in real life....I just get so enthusiastic about movies! I'm also very easily sucked into things....not vaccuums, mind you, story lines. This all started very long ago. As a young equestrian, I watched many a horse movie. Whilst watching the movie International Velvet, I thought to myself, 'I'm going to go the Olympics on a horse that I bought as a baby and somehow trained myself as a young child in England!'....I'm still waitin' on that dream.
Then came the summer of my sophmore year in high school. My brother and I went and saw Pirates of the Carribean, and I swear, for about three months, I wore think eyeliner and a pirate studded belt EVERYDAY, because, yes, I wanted to be a pirate.
(Another Note To Self: Stop telling people embarrassing stories about yourself....Duly noted)
Last night Luke and I went and saw the new Star Trek movie and it was AWESOME. Not being a trekkie myself, I LOVED it...Luke being a moderate to intermediate Trekkie also loved it, and therefore it was a good movie for the whole family (yes, we wore Spok ears)...and yet today I can't stop thinking about how freaking cool it would be to meet Spok. Now, I wouldn't shy at the chance of meeting Zachary Quinto...he's dreamy AND really great in the movie...but meeting Zach AS Spok would be so cool. But guess what guys? Spok doesn't exist. Leonard Nimoy does and he wrote a book call I am Spock, but that doesn't really make it true. He also made a terrible song about Hobbits, so what credence does that give him? Not alot. Especially since I believe he was wearing the ears in the music video about Hobbits....And now that I think about it, so were his go-go dancers... Point made.
But you know what? I'm ok with this movie-reality confusion. It shows that I'm totally into every movie I watch. That's fine. Don't judge...you guys know the rest. I don't know though, after watching X-Men-Wolverine Origins-I-Have-The-Most-Predictable-Cliche-Title-In-The-History-Of-All-Cinema, I'm still kind of waiting for my superhero powers to evolve.
