Q&A with Chris Holland re: last night's Star Trek event
Q. So, you're a nerd. A geek, even. You love all that Star Trek crap.
A. Yes.
Q. And you live in Austin, TX?
A. Yes.
Q. But -- even though you pre-purchased a Fantastic Fest badge just so you could attend these sorts of things -- you didn't go to last night's screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan?
A. No.
Q. The one that turned out to be the sneak World Premiere of the new Star Trek film, which looks massively awesome and may well reboot the franchise for a new generation of fans?
A. Yes.
Q. And I understand Leonard "Spock" Nimoy was there in person to deliver the print of the new film?
A. Yes.
Q. So hundreds of your fellow geeks got to watch a crazy great new movie while you stayed home to watch TV with your wife?
A. Yes.
Q. Dude. You're getting old.
A. That's not a question, but . . . Yes.
A. Yes.

That's the best 'kicking myself' post I've seen all day.
I don't think 'getting old' begins to cover it!
"Old" isn't the word I would use.

Wow. Just...wow.
Sometimes one would *rather* stay home and watch TV with his wife. No?
