Star Trek: The Experience is shutting down September First? Geeks don’t make the annual pilgrimage to pray at the alter of the captain’s chair. Maybe Vegas is too expensive. Between dropping hundreds monthly on movie tickets, DVDs, comics, and video games, spending three months rent to see ST:XP doesn’t have the right magic.
Would you believe United States employees cost their employers $650 billion in productivity costs in the seconds it takes for them to return attention back to the task at hand? The time spans lost are the same amount of time required to interpret a CAPTCHA. E-mail, instant messaging, Twitter, etc. are all distractions from getting…

You’ve gotta be kidding me! I understand the live action Transformers movie. As the 30 Somethings start to hold the reigns in Hollywood, movies start to reflect our nostalgia. I was totally into it. I saw it twice in the theater. 😀 What surprises me about the same being done with Robotech is the poor…
