I m at McGill and the William Shatner building is an *unofficial* name for the student building. That being said, some of McGill s best parties happen in the Shatner Ball Room, and lots of the undergrad love to meet at The Shat .
Congrats to the Shat for his wonderfully unique acting style that helped make Star Trek the success it is. Anybody cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale else portraying James T. Kirk in TOS from 1966-69 and it probably would have failed!
80 reasons why having Bill in Star Trek 2012 isn t just a good idea, or a difficult method of working him in . damn it, JJ, Boborci, Damon Alex and the Court .just do it. Framing narration, or riding off into a sunset in a much later year in the alt universe Spock Prime and aged alt-Kirk. Must. Be. A. Way. While these men are alive still!
# on the list : 14 Kirk Fu . I ve long thought that was a cool thing. Shatner had his own distinctive style of fighting. The show obviously had a physical philisophy of dealing with fights that even the guest stars seemed to have been briefed on(the fight scene with William Windom s Decker and the red shirt). I ve long thought exploring that would be an interesting article.
On another note I ve long thought of compiling a video of Shatner word pronounciations. Have a big list I ve put together myself. I think I shall do that and submit it to Anthony for a possible future article feature.
Shat my Dad Says has reached British shores and i m surprised to find its pretty ok. I ve only seen two episodes and while its no Frasier (yet!) I did chuckle cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale a good few times. I m going to stick with it- for as long as you guys over there want to make it anyway!
Captain Neill you have returned to trekmovie how are you :) isn t it a milestone that William Shatner has reached 80 I hope I live to that age he is indeed cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale a legend love you Bill or may I say Captain
My daddy was an original broadcast cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale Star Trek fan and had me watching it from his knee; Kirk was one of my first heroes (next to daddy) and Star Trek taught me to love the possibilities of human potential, the necessity of integrity and tolerance, the wonders cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale of exploration, and the importance of a wink and a good laugh. Thank you, Mr. Shatner, for so much Happy Birthday!
I also saw him play a supporting role in a Canadian film made for television called A Family of Strangers in which he played the adoptive father. He was outstanding. One scene he did almost has me tearful, just remembering it. I was never more impressed, given that his portrayal of that famous captain was fantastic. BTW, I always loved the way Kirk spoke.
It was a serious, moving and compelling story, cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale which had women, who had been forced to put their babies up for adoption, all over America and Canada breaking down after they watched this film. Counselling services were inundated. Similar happened when the film screened here in NZ. The two actresses, who played the leads, Patty Duke and Melissa Gilbert, were virtually playing cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale themselves.
cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale William Shatner is one of the finest actors of the 20th Century, period. People nowadays mistake it for hamming it up , whatever that means, but just watch him in well, pretty much anything, even the mountain of crap he s had to star in since Trek.

It must be true. William Shatner is unstoppable. I have just seen an advertisement cheap hotels motels fort lauderdale for William Shatner doing a live show in Auckland on 8 April at the Civic Theatre. I have no idea whether I will able to go
Growing up with Kirk made childhood a real adventure and has never failed to amaze to this day, and Denny Crane has managed to become a wise and at the same time hilarious companion. So, thank you Bill Shatner for countless wonderful moments you ve given us and for the unique characters you ve created!
Happy Birthday, Mr Shatner. May you have many more years of relaxing on the balcony, enjoying a scotch and a cigar with your best friend. And thank you for the lifelong memories of your wonderful performances.
