  • I kid; the man is the reason I'm a professional actor today (all those ST re-runs of my youth) and I'm proud of to admit it. But...this new project.....WHY? (They are gonna be mean to you! I was, and I'm a fan!...)
  • My God...Spock...whatever...shall-we-DO? /bad kirk impression
  • I kid; the man is the reason I'm a professional actor today At least you didn't become a professional singer because of his vocal stylings! "I started studying voice because Shatner's song No Tears For Caesar, with its tasteful and fearless combination of hip-hop and a Shakespearean sonnet, was just so goddamned moving!" About a month ago, Shatner discussed "attempting excellence in music" in his blog.
  • Well, hey, the original Star Treck was pretty amazing in its day, and continues to go on in reruns - and Shatner certainly contributed to that. His musical stints, however, have given all of us good reason to point and laugh. On the other hand, maybe he's just making a living, capitalizing on how funny we find it.
  • Laugh all you want at Shatner, but Nimoy wins the prize for campiest video ever.
  • Ye Gadz Ambrosia I've never seen that before. Goood shit.
  • I pray that the spoken word version of "I'm Slim Shady" is included.
  • Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
  • Genuine horror flick!
  • also the reason I don't own any red shirts. Not gonna get caught out there!
  • The thought of Shatner singing feels me with lots of warm fuzzies. I don't know what it is about him, but the kitsch is through the motherfreakin' roof!
  • Nimoy wins the prize for campiest video ever. Although the absence of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" (see above link) spares me nightmares, I do hope it can return at some time, to horrify and astonish people the world over. Of course, speaking of web wackiness and William Shatner, I always think of the sublime beauty that is Khaaan! Yes, Virginia, there's still a place on the Internet for such things.
