From Forbes: "Chinese movie fans will be able to see the newest Hollywood hit, Star Trek, in movie theaters across the country beginning this weekend. They won't have the same opportunity to see the next blockbuster, Angels & Demons, on the big screen-not Friday (when it opens in the U.S.), not soon, maybe not ever."

Just in time for the launch of one of the most anticipated space movies ever, it seems like bloggers have discovered that an agency closer to home had already put on its Spock ears years ago. The China National Space Administration's logo takes both the United Federation of Planets emblem (itself based on the United Nations) and the U.S.S. Enterprise symbol and mashes them into a vaguely spacey amalgamation. Live long and copycat, we guess?

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!
