I Really Need To See Star Trek
Newsweek: And the last movie you saw?President Obama: Now, movies I've been doing OK [with] because it turns out we got this nice theater on the ground floor of my house … So Star Trek, we saw this weekend, which I thought was good. Everybody was saying I was Spock, so I figured I should check it out and—[the president makes the Vulcan salute with his hand].
Newsweek: Very good.
President Obama: Yes, absolutely.
Newsweek: Did you watch that when you were growing up?
President Obama: I used to love Star Trek. You know, Star Trek was ahead of its time. There was a whole—the special effects weren't real good, but the storylines were always evocative, you know, there was a little commentary and a little pop philosophy for a 10-year-old to absorb.
Newsweek: A lot of U.N. stuff.
President Obama: Yes, exactly, right.
