Bill on Geraldo 1974

Two part interview, with blooper reel. Bill looks HAWT. Except for the shirt, which is dorky. I think he has a cold.

Note that at the con in NYC, Bill judged the costume contest and the women in it just jumped on him. Imagine that!

Part two has Leonard on the Mike Douglas show, talking about TMP - Leonard looks like he has his ST sideburns and haircut, so I think they must have just started filming. Then there's a piece from a 1994 TV special about his ST Memories. He also sounds like he has a cold!

Bill shills, 70s edition

JK sent this to me with the subject "Oh the awfulness of the 70s for Bill!" But please note that like always, he gives 110% and plays straight man to a guy in a penguin suit. That's a professional for you.

More Darmok!

This is turning into a subcategory of LAHB. If you haven't seen the Darmok episode, you need to. I don't care if you torrent it. It's great!

These images from Photoshop Phriday at Something Awful (from Jan 2007). Thanks to Logan and Christian for the link!

Rare Star Trek video 4/5 - (movie opening - fan reviews, interviews)

This video contains:

Coverage of opening day for ST:TMP, with lots of fan interviews, including filking!
GREAT interview with Bill, about his take on Kirk (we'll discuss this in an upcoming show) - don't know why he's dressed like Thurston Howell III
Interview with Leonard in which is he is completely equivocal about everything

Rare Star Trek video 3/5 (movie opening)

This video contains:

Movie premiere coverage, featuring clips of Joan Winston and Bjo Trimble and great footage from cons
More TV news from NYC about the opening - fans waiting on line and making sure we know they're TREKKERS, not Trekkies

Rare Star Trek video 2/5 (news coverage of TMP opening)

This video has:

A longish (7 min) clip from the movie (reminding me how boring it is - and this is an action sequence!)
News coverage of the premiere, with Hugh Downs (Bill in a bow tie! Nichelle without makeup!)

Rare Star Trek video - 1/5 (Con and movie coverage)

I was alerted to these vids recently - amazing stuff! There are 5 parts, so I'll post them consecutively with some notes.

This video contains:

Coverage of the NYC con in 1978 (by Barbara Feldon!) - check out Bill's shiny jacket - so hot!!
Annoucement of ST:TMP from a NYC TV station
Movie promo trailer, which seems to be narrated by the Exposition Police - I think this was not shown in theatres, but was sent to owners of movie theatres to get them to book the movie

Rare Trek video 5/5 (De Kelley interview)

Interview with DeForest Kelley on the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. What a great accent he has, and this is a wonderful interview. "Not a family reunion..."

Also some short clips with Stephen Collins, Persis Khambatta, and Gene Roddenberry.

Best Roddenberry quote: "We have the captain's love affair with his vessel, finally reunited with her...and it is almost sexual, the relationship of a man and a vessel like that..."

SEE I TOLD YOU SO!

Bill talks about celebrity impressions

He's so sunburned! Thanks, Jen!

Election 2012

Über-geek joke alert!

I thought this was hilarious. Christian sent it to Logan, who didn't get it, who sent it to me, and I cracked up. One of my favorute TNG eps.

Incident on a Dark Street

The lovely and talented Jen sent us a present! It's a bad Bill movie, and it looks absolutely horrible. How can I tell? First, check out the DVD cover (click to embiggen):



Even though I haven't seen this movie, I'm 100% sure that this particular scene does not appear in it. We will not see a not-Willliam-Shatner body with a photoshopped Captain Kirk head, cut off at the knees, standing in the dark alley that was used for filming "My Name Is Prince" and various Pat Benatar music videos.

Then you turn it over to see how Bill really looks in the movie:



Ack! The mustache! It burns us!

That said, I'm sure Bill gives 100% to his really crappy role in a really crappy movie. Look for a review in an upcoming show.

Thanks, Jen!
