By Grabthar's hammer... what a movie!
the best 'Not-Star Trek' Star Trek film
- Rated as in the Top Ten of all Star Trek movies.
  
  Should probably be in the top five, frankly.
- Can't find the clip, but Jonathan frakes told Patrick Stewart that he had to see Galaxy Quest, and that he had to see it in a theater with an audience.
  
  And Patrick Stewart said he laughed harder than anyone else in the theater.
I'm not even supposed to be here! I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here!
- Maybe you're the plucky comic relief?
  
  Plucky?
This movie needs a UHD release
I'd love to see the original cut, there's clearly hints that there was more adult humour in there.

Also, if you're into that kind of thing, I highly recommend the "No Retreat, No Surrender" retrospective documentary.
- I'd settle on having every cut of the movie restore the "Fuck that!" line.
  
  They said it in the theatrical cut right? I’m not just misremembering that she said it in the theater, right?
  
  Aw man, is that what that line was supposed to be? We were robbed.
How does this work?
- Basically the site keeps everyone's player in sync. Then you just make a guest name at the bottom of the chat so we can all chat during the movie.
  
  How does this work, legally?
Great movie! Is this going to be a weekly thing?
- Yes. Keep your eyes peeled.
  
  Good idea. Haven't seen this film in years.
Reading Alan Rickman's book (comprised of his personal diaries). Very interesting bits about filming GQ.
- Go on...
  
  Buy the book for more. But, succinctly, Tim Allen is the egomaniac you expect and Sigourney is a bit of a diva too. Still, he enjoyed the experience
This is a really cool idea -- wish I'd heard of it sooner!
Is there air‽ You don't know!
That's not right...
I just watched this for the 1st time like a month ago! Fun little flick
Thanks for the nostalgia kick :)
One of my favorite movies!
