Your wife says, "Look, just watch the opening scene with me, just enough to see Alan Rickman."

102 minutes later, the closing credits of GALAXY QUEST are rolling.

That's a really good movie.

Sir Patrick Stewart on Galaxy Quest:

Stewart: I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant.

No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans.

I had the same experience over the weekend of trying to sorta kinda pay attention and getting sucked right in. Just a perfectly executed gem.

When news of Rickman's death hit our circle, my Girlfriend-In-Law mentioned she had never seen that movie.

There was much shouting of, "This must not stand!" and this big hole in her life was corrected at the next available opportunity.

She loved it, of course.
