Great to see #Avatar "The Way of Water" on #IMAX during the re-release prior to the new movie in December. The films mix beauty, imagination, and adventure with the love of family. Enjoyed the introduction from #JamesCameron and the teaser for "Fire and Ash". 🔥🌊 #MarblesIMAX

We're long-time fans of #JohnCleese from #MontyPython, #FawltyTowers, and more. We've been lucky to see him in the past and it was great to see him again on his "Not Dead Yet" tour presenting a 50th anniversary screening of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" with live Q&A at #CarolinaTheatreDurham!

We were lucky to see UK comedian #JimmyCarr at one of two sold out shows at #DPAC for his #LaughsFunny tour. We're fans from his TV shows "8 Out of 10 Cats" and "LOL: Last One Laughing". It was great to see him live where he joked and took questions from the audience for nearly two hours. Good fun!

A fantastic time seeing "Murder on the Orient Express" by #AgathaChristie from @vareptheatre.bsky.social. A fabulous presentation of the #KenLudwig adaptation. The direction and set design are terrific. The entire cast is excellent and #LawrenceRemond is perfect as #HerculePoirot! Bravo! 🔎

A fantastic #PattonOswalt weekend seeing his hilarious stand-up show at #GoodnightsComedyClub and then meeting him at #UltimateComics where he signed copies of his series "Minor Threats". Great to talk to him about the movie "Please Stand By" and his role on #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds! 🖖

While #STLV is primarily focused on #StarTrek they often invite guests from other movies and shows as well and this year they were celebrating the 50th anniversary of #Space1999 with guests #BarbaraBain and #NickTate. There was a terrific Q&A panel and both were extremely friendly. 🌕

#STLV comes to an end with the Sunday night performance of the #StarTrekRatPack with Max Grodenchik, Vaughn Armstrong, Casey Biggs, Jeffrey Combs, and Ethan Phillips singing parodies of popular songs along with stand-up comedy routines. The hilarious show is a perfect end to the excellent event. 🖖

An amazing part of #STLV every year is the Saturday night concert with the Nevada Symphony. Composer #JeffRusso led the orchestra through a two-hour performance of classic #StarTrek music and a fantastic reunion with #EmersonHart playing hits from their band #Tonic. Fabulous! 🖖

Meeting the many celebrities is a terrific part of #STLV, but the best part is seeing good friends. Thank you to all of those who spent time with us including Austin, Brian, Nova, Jamie, and Tim, and our friend Alberto who we sadly only saw in passing because of an early departure. 🖖

The #ScottBakula Q&A panel was a favorite of everyone at #STLV. His answers were genuine, sincere, thoughtful, and funny. His photo op line was the longest at the event and while photo ops always move quickly, he took time to talk to everyone. Thank you Scott! #StarTrek #Enterprise 🖖
