hi Mart,
perhaps there should be a sign at the door: "Trekkies only, heathen need not apply". We saw it a couple weeks ago, and we are talking about seeing it again. If you think THAT was a roast, rent 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'. This is an old tv mini-series, but it is british,
and satirises everything in it's path. At first i found it offensive, and thought it was anti-scifi; then i realised the author was having fun at everyone's expense. Just a taste: in the first chapter, Arthur Dent, lying in the mud in front of a bulldozer ( they want to tear his house down for a highway bypass ); is persuaded to leave by his friend. They escape to a
remarkably unpleasant spaceship just as the ship blows the Earth to smithereens... ostensibly for an interstellar highway bypass. My favorite character is Marvin, the depressed robot.
