see, now you're describing a Star Trek prequel I'd actually WATCH.

You know I'm sure Jay and Silent Bob always wanted to meet Kirk and Spock.  Well Silent Bob, probably, though maybe Jay will teach a young James T. Kirk how to pick up the alien babes.

"Silent Bob is an instrument of god?!"
"No, but the driver is because Cardinal Glick is the kind of jerk who would bless his clubs for a better game."

I know this is a little necromantic (is that a word), but I thought I'd bring up the fact that this film now has a release date: December 25, 2008.  So it still seems to be on track, for better or worse.  I still think it could be an excellent reboot to the series, and it looks like fans will either have a present or coal in their stockings for Christmas.  Seems like an odd day to release it--why not right before? Though I guess Christmas is on a Thursday that year, so maybe it's the ideal time.
