The 200-strong audience thought they were settling down to watch an extended screening of the 1982 Star Trek film The Wrath of Khan, followed by a 10-minute sneak preview of the new JJ Abrams movie, which was due to premiere in Sydney, Australia several hours later.

Minutes into the screening at the Alamo Drafthouse theatre, however, the cinema projection appeared to suffer technical problems and the writers came on stage to apologise.

They were joined by a man in a trenchcoat who removed his baseball cap to reveal himself as Nimoy, the actor who played Mr Spock.

"Tonight, in about three hours from now, in Australia they are running the Star Trek premiere of the new movie," Nimoy said. "So you're going to see, what, 10 minutes of the new movie tonight? Wouldn't you rather see the whole movie?"

To whoops of delight from the audience, many of whom were in tears, Nimoy went on: "I tell you what. I think it's wrong that Australia should be the first to see the new movie. I think it really should have its world premiere right here, tonight, in Austin."

      One man’s trash…

      By strato · Posted

      That Peter Principle is the real deal a whole lot of times.  And HC just seems to me to be a totally different job than the subordinate positions of coordinator (all three phases, I think John Harbaugh was a ST coach) . Anyhow it is real easy for HC people to be overwhelmed and unprepared. Such a different job. Those that hire ex HCs as mentors or coordinators are smart. But many just suck at it.  You have to have all the organization in place, front office too.  I tend to be supportive, at this stage, of the people we have and would be willing to stick with them like 5 years before judging their future. Because we need to establish continuity. At some point I would like to have OC that called the plays. It is too much for one guy.

      Bills predictions

      Maybe. That's not a Bills team that has been playing very elite, however.  If it is close or we win, I am not exactly gonna chalk that up to us being a contender.
