For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Event Description

Sci Fi comedy. A take off on Startreck

Simply one of the funniest, warmest comedies ever made!

Galaxy Quest is a once-popular television space-drama series starring Jason Nesmith as the commander of a spaceship called the NSEA Protector, Alexander Dane as the ship's alien science officer, Fred Kwan as the chief engineer, Gwen DeMarco as the computer officer, and Tommy Webber as a precocious child pilot. Guy Fleegman played a security officer who was quickly killed off in his only appearance on the show, in Episode 81.

Eighteen years after the show was cancelled, as a Galaxy Quest convention full of costumed fans is underway, Jason is approached by a group of people whose leader, Mathesar, says that they are aliens called "Thermians". Jason goes with them to what he assumes will be an amateur filming session, but the Thermians really are aliens,octopoidal creatures using Appearance Generators, a device that makes them appear human. Technologically advanced but having no concept of fiction, they have mistaken broadcasts of Galaxy Quest for historical documentaries and modelled their society on the ethos presented in the episodes.....

Has some great actors in it..... Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, and Daryl Mitchell all star. 

A must see film!

Tim Allen plays the part of the captain Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart 

 

Peter Quince is reference to what? (hint - it is something to do with Shakespeare)

 

I will give the answer at the film showing tomorrow night!

Agreed Emil. Fleegman is brilliant. But then so is the whole cast!

Seen this film many times and really recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Great fun comedy with a quality star line-up. Reminds me of The Magnificent Seven which is the next film to be shown.
