CREEPY CGI KIRK HEAD IS GO.
Found via my favorite Star Trek-related (and Big Bill Shatner-specific) weblog/podcast, Look at His Butt, a test for a since-abandoned CGI series:
And here’s the Spock test, which uses Joe Pesci’s Not Safe for Work dialogue from Goodfellas. I would so totally have watched a Star Trek animated series with Pesci playing Spock.
If you still need to get your Shatner on, the Look at His Butt girls have this post collecting together YouTube clips of one of his Match Game appearances.
Man, I really do miss watching ’70s Match Game. I probably watched too much TV as a kid, but I don’t regret a single moment watching Match Game (sound at link). That show was fantastic.
In almost completely unrelated news: Dr. Polite Scott has put together an index of psychic nosebleeds for your perusal. You know, some dude in a comic book or movie starts using his, I don’t know, telekinesis or something, and he’s doin’ it really hard, and you can tell he’s really straining because suddenly there’s a trickle of blood from his nose. Well, Dr. Scott tells you the rest of the story, explaining just what the problems with this particular storytelling shorthand are.
That series of posts is one of the greatest things ever, by the way.
I apologize for the dependence on link-blogging over the last couple of days…it’s been one of those weeks. Hopefully I can generate a little of my own content soon instead of pointing at stuff done by other people.
So, uh…how are you doin’?
Impressed by your other blog’s mention in TIME magazine this week.
