I have been, and always shall be - your friend.
I swear, this scene undoes me every time. Say what you will about Shatner overacting, but here he shines. As does Nimoy - tugging at his tunic to neaten himself before his Captain.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The high water mark of all the Star Trek movies, as far as I'm concerned.
Definitely the best of the ones with original cast.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing it at the theater, and lots of people were crying.
It still breaks me up, too.....
William Shatner is a respected Shakespearean actor in his native Canada. I think he overacted in Star Trek because that's what the role called for -- a larger than life character.
ReplyDeleteYep, the best of the, oh 17 or so, movies they made.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge Trekkie, and Mine Wife just does not understand. But she was a Twin Peaks fan, so I guess we're both whacked in our own way.
I've always wanted to get all the movies and watch them in an insomniac-inspired weekend with a huge bowl of hot wings, but that's never come to fruition.
Yet.
Ohhhh I am a closet Trekkie!! I absolutely loved this show, way to bring me back to my youth!! And for the record.. I became a huge fan of Boston Legal just because of William Shatner!!
