William Shatner was in a 1975 devil-worship movie.

[Star of Penumbra]

It also starred Earnest Borgnine and Satan. No, seriously.

Shatner & the Devil?

Sure as hell wasn't his acting talent!

 

[Bluesboy2]

WTF?

If Bill was English he would have been knighted back in to 60's. Singer/Actor/ Director/Producer/Writer....
You are just jealous because you have NO ONE in your country that even comes close to being comperable. As though Britain could have even DREAMED of creating a show like TJ Hooker!
You guys don't even have an Adrian Zmed wanna be. Don't even talk to me about acting talent...

Singer? Give me strength!

TJ Hooker? Was that the one where he was wearing a corset as well as his wig?

If Bill was English he'd have been unemployed! More than half the acting profession are unemployed at anyone time and he sure wouln't be in the top half!

Hey, don't knock the Shat, man...

At least he's gotten a sense of humor about the whole thing.

 

[Mad_Jack_Rabbit]

Ian McKellern...

Christopher Lee...

Anthony Hopkins...

Terrance Stamp...

Ben Kingsley...

Yep. No Brit has any acting talent.

 

[bully]

Ian McKellern?

Come on now. Spell it right

He certainly has that. I saw him interviewed on TV recently and the guy certainly doesn't take himself seriously!

Uh huh. I suppose you think Lawrence Oliviea (sp) could have played the Big Giant Head better? I think not.
I grant you he isn't enough of a drunk to be a truly British actor, be he defined acting for the last millenium.
BTW his version of Lucy in the Shy with Diamonds is the DIFINITIVE version. Far more memeorable than the version done by those other guys. HE puts emotion into it! He lives it!

Noooooo. I remember seein the Devil's Rain many years ago o n television, and being scarde to death. Actually, I watched it everytime it came on (not often), but never really followed the plot. thanks for explaining it. However, if i remember correctly, at the end, as Shatner is hugging Borgnine (disguised as his girlfriend) you see a shot of his real girlfriend inside the globe. Is my memory incorrect? I most certainly will look for it on DVD. Thanks

I'll give you The Big Giant Head! No way the great acting Lord could have played that part ( or wanted to ).

Hish vershion of Lushy in the Shy was absolutely (hic) , well let's say less than splendid!

Oh please! Name me ANY other singer who could have done THAT interpretation! I didn't think so...

 

[Mad_Jack_Rabbit]

Peter O'toole could have done the Big Giant Head.

Name me anyone who would have wanted to!!!!

Well, me among many others.

 

[bknight2602]

Actors have to make a living and take parts in movies to support themselves, whether or not the movie was a bad idea!

 

[Bluesboy2]

Nope, not pompous enough. Nice try though.

Surely not. I've heard your music - that WAS good!

 

[Bluesboy2]

Thank you. But I merely play the guitar. I am not able to become the song or acting part in the way that Bill can. That is the magic of Bill. He doesn't act or sing. He becomes and iterprets. There will never be another like him. The only true Renaissance Man in my life time.

OK, you win. Bill Shatner and Einstein - right up there with the other greats! LOL

 

[Bluesboy2]

I knew you were an intelligent man!

I knew from your previous posts you would listen to reason when presented with overwhelming evidence. You get bonus points for putting them in the correct order too!

Umm... What sanity? My intellectual capacity goes far beyond "sane". So far beyond that some would consider me "insane". I see beyond what is capable for mere mortals. I live "out of the box". Fortunately I am able to convey my pearls of wisdom in a simplistic (for me) manner that the very bright are able to somewhat grasp on a minimalistic level.
