I discovered Galaxy Quest on cable one night and couldn’t stop laughing. I ran out and bought the DVD and have now seen it more times than I can count. I know it didn’t do very well in its original release, but it’s definitely one of those movies that I have no problem watching again and again and quoting to friends. So imagine my delight when I walked into my local comic monger’s and found issue #1 of the new Galaxy Quest comic book series from IDW!
It’s a five-part story focusing on a new threat to the Earth just as the gang is launching the new Galaxy Quest series on TV. It’s a fun read so far, though the story set-up doesn’t leave much room for the jokes that made the movie so fun. But I’ll keep reading. The Quote of the Week goes to Sigourney Weaver as Gwen DeMarco, finally expressing the same shock and confusion we all feel when we see the obligatory scene in so many sci-fi and adventure movies featuring the “chompy, crushy things.”

I LOVE that movie! Still walk around saying quotes to myself.
“Oh! That’s just not right!”
“Look, I have ONE job to do on this ship! It’s stupid, but I’m gonna do it, OK!”
—Gwen DeMarco
“Well, fuck that!”
—Gwen, upon seeing the chompers
I actually saw this opening weekend in the theatre…I laughed my ass off.
