This is in reaction to the exposure that William Shatner has been getting on the Cat. What i want to know is who do you think was better Patrick Stewart ( the worlds most famous Yorkshireman) as Jean Luc Picard or as Professor X in the X-Men movie. My votes in for Picard.

Well he certainly got more exposure as Jean Luc Picard. So on that trak record I'll cast my vote for Jean Luc.

Although I do rather like the poster I have of him. He's standing looking straight at the camera holding a book, William Shakespeare, in his hand. The poster says

"Discover the Feeling.

Learn to read.

Patrick Stewart for Literacy and Libraries."

I can see him smiling at me right now. I like that.

Of course the other diffculty is that in the X-men I wasn't looking at Prof X, Wolverine was a LOT more interesting.

Pardon me, I am just going to nip into a cold shower....

He made a good Professor Xavier, a fine Jean Luc Picard. I liked him better as Gurney Halleck in the awful Dune and as a potential Knight in Excalibur best.

Clinton,

I remember a lot, just not everything. The instru,ent in Dune was called a Ballisette in the book I don't recall a name from the movie.

Hey AliUK I get the "hots for small furry, viscious animals with adamantium laced skeletons" when they are played by Hugh Jackman. Played by Jim Carrey, say, I'd probably throw up.

Hell! -I- have the ""hots for small furry, viscious animals with adamantium laced skeletons" when they are played by Hugh Jackman."

LOL!!!!

Thanks Don... Ballisette... I used to know that... but it's been too long since I read Dune...

Anyone else here heard his one man show "A Christmas Carol"? I hear the "book on tape" is fantastic! He's got an incredible voice goin' for him... too bad he's soooooo dull in the physical end of things...

I could listen to Patrick Stewart talk all day and all night, and would definately have to vote for him as Picard - "Make it so!"
