Sick of hearing about how absolutely awesome JJ Abram's Star Trek is from your friends in the States?Isn't it frustrating, considering it's one of those movies that actually would be better seen in theaters and who knows how long it'll take for a decent copy to be released on DVD here, right? Not really! Turns out we only need to wait one more week before basking in our nerddom, because the movie is boldly going where.... okay, where several big releases have gone before. According to IMDB, the set release date for Star Trek (星际迷航) in China is May 15. Be sure to live long and prosper til then!

That's what we get for buying tickets right in front of the speakers. But the hearing loss was worth it — The Legendary Roots Crew, the hip hop band from Philly, put on a damn good show. And yes, they even did a brief Led Zeppelin cover (and A Tribe Called Quest and Biz Markie and many others). But for the most part, Black Thought, ?uestlove, Hub, Kamal Gray, F. Knuckles and Captain Kirk Douglas rocked their originals, and the seemingly capacity crowd at Yunfeng Theater (packed predominately with expats) loved it. The musician solos were intense — the boys can play. Also a highlight was Black Thought's uncanny ability to work the word "Shanghai" into just about every song they performed. After their two-plus-hour show, The Roots hung around on stage, shook hands, signed autographs, posed for photos and hurled autographed drumsticks into the crowd. No injuries were reported.
