J.J. Abrams on William Shatner 'Star Trek' cameo: Hey, we tried

Adding to my last comment, we’re also dealing with the question of whether either Abrams or Shatner is being precisely truthful, or just remembering accurately, about what they discussed.
But the thing that steams me, is that nobody contacted me about whether I’d like to appear in even a cameo role of myself, as a 10 year old kid, watching Shatner as the original Kirk on TV, in my family’s living room in the 60s. I could just hunker down a bit and look my old height, and a little makeup would do the rest. I’m still about as skinny, though.

Shatner has lost his marbles and has clearly been reduced to making utube comments to promote his site. Doesnt feel its appropriate to want to be associated with the star trek universe at this point. Thats like obama comming out and saying I really dont want to be associated with the us presidency. My view on shatner softened over the years, but artists who mock and desrespect the art that made them as they have made it, earn alot of disrespect. (such as arthur conan doyle complaining about sherlock holmes, clive barker complaining about talking about hellraiser). people need a reality check and need to learn to deal with fame and appreciation of it instead of building toilets with mock enterprise sets in the urinals. Perhaps were better without the in living color geritol entrerprise (remember that one with jim carrey in a walker as kirk). I always liked spock and nimoy best anyway. funny shatner who made fun of himself i like, do we need to go back to the arrogant one.

Kirk and Spock ARE in the movie. Just fresh young versions of them. Nobody wants to see two old farts trying to play the roles they starred in 40 years ago. The movie is for all moviegoers, you know, the public. Not just a narrow slice that dresses up and goes to conventions making funny gestures with their hands.

It was my pleasure to visit your Website. I am also very Website you enjoy the article.And I also have the feeling that it was really a pity that we didn’t meet each other earlier. Because the kindness and warmth in your Website can make me completely relaxed and happy. I hope that you will visit my blog too to see if you can have the same feeling.http://www.buynikeshoes.com

Why not admit it. The problem with Shatner is that he got – fat. And in this present era, body image takes the place of race, since racism is now a punishable offense. Racism: HOW WE MISS IT! It was SO-O-O comforting to feel secure in the knowledge that YOU were “a good person”, SOLELY because you were not “one of them” – marked by some god of your own invention. Unfortunately for us, one day (in the actual “Star Trek” era) obesity will be seen for what it “was”, a correctable gene malfunction, and not a degenerate character flaw. Boy, will we of the early 21st century be looked back upon as a bunch of stupid, primitive bigots (Yes! I have also been guilty.). Much like the ancient village yokels who stoned and drove out the victims of past diseases. Let me ask you this, would the same level of predigest be acceptable if Shatner had MS, or cancer? In spite of what a money-hungry diet industry tells you, weight disorders are NOT yet curable, and defiantly not the fault of the victims.

I’m a Star Trek fan. I liked all the series. Especially ST Next Generation, and Voyager (Captain Janeway always reminded me of a female version of Kirk).
I recently saw, with my 15 years old son, the new Star Trek. Both of us liked it a lot!!
Excelent work from everybody involved.
I think that was an excelent idea to change all with the travel in time. It’s like a totally new story (I was always proud to know all the Star Trek history from the begining, but the movie changed all that).
When I saw their last movie, The Undiscovered Country, I thought that they knew that they were too old to be cruising around.
When I saw Generations, they were retired (Kirk,Scott and Chekov), so I didn’t care if they were old or fat.
The difference is that they got old and fat along with us, but, despise I liked a lot to see old Spock again, to be sincere, the character seems too old to be conducting a mini starship by his own.
Anyway, two thumbs up for the film!!!!

As if the film wasn’t already bad enough, they were going to include Shatner in it, too? I’d have needed two buckets to vomit into instead of just one.
