What were you doing on June 4th, 1982? I know what I was doing - sneaking off to see the afternoon show! All alone in the front row, I shared the theater with about 20 others - all a lot older and in business attire - who had obviously sneaked out as well. It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times, because we all know how it ended.
Two announcements have come out regarding this anniversary. First, Fathom Events will be showing it on the big screen between September 4th and 8th. Tickets are already on sale at over 20 theaters in our area. Maybe we should have a group outing? We saw it on the big screen for the 35th and it was great!
The second piece of news is from Playmates Toys. They have reacquired the Trek license after a 12 year hiatus, and they have plenty of new figures in the works, spanning multiple eras. Characters from TNG, The Wrath of Khan and Discovery are in the first wave, to be followed by more. There will also be a classic Enterprise and an Original Series-inspired phaser. Cool!
