06 Nov 09 - 05:01 PM (#2761124) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner immortalised! From: GUEST,jts I have to disagree. In many circles, they are much more influential than Shatner. Sure Shatner does TV ads and happens to have zepplin like body type, but does price line have a blimp named after him? and of course there's the influence on Psychiatry of Lucy, The popularization of Beethoven by Schroeder, and the invention of the "Santa Claus of Halloween", the immortal Great Pumpkin. Not to mention a popular song and the only Christmas classic based upon real events of The Great War. Yeah, Shatner is influential, AND he has a huge round head, Good Grief! He even PLAYED a big giant head! But he is no Charlie Brown. |

16 Jun 10 - 01:54 PM (#2929226) Subject: RE: BS: Shatner immortalised! From: gnu By Etan Vlessing BANFF, Alberta (Hollywood Reporter) - The world knows William Shatner as the former "Star Trek" captain. Canadians know Shatner for his Montreal roots and early classic stage career in Stratford, Ontario. So Canadian pay TV channel Movie Central will combine those two worlds in "The Captains," a documentary that captures Shatner's career arc to overnight success as Captain James T. Kirk. Shatner will direct the film, which will start production in July for broadcast in winter 2011. Movie Central also acquired the Canadian broadcast rights to "William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet," which features a ballet by Margo Sappington set to music from Shatner. Shatner returns to TV in the fall with the CBS sitcom "$#*! My Dad Says," a series based on a popular Twitter feed. *********************************************************** Can you wait? |

From: Amos "Police will once again question DC sniper Lee Boyd Malvo, after the convicted serial killer said for the first time in a TV interview with actor William Shatner that two other men were initially part of the bloody plot that terrorized the Washington area and left 10 people dead in 2002. D.C. sniper Lee Malvo talks to William Shatner about the shootings."There were two others, there were two other people who were supposed to be involved - but in the end, they ended up backing out," said Malvo, who was 17 when he was arrested for his role in the deadly attacks. He spoke to Shatner, most famous for his role as Capt. Kirk on the 1960's TV show "Star Trek," via telephone from a Virginia prison where he is serving a life sentence. "What was supposed to happen was that there was supposed to be three to four snipers with silenced weapons, silenced rifles and in this way you could do a lot more damage along the entire Eastern Seaboard then what-- in the end there was only Muhammad and myself," Malvo, now 25, told Shatner.
