Awwww come on Darren, William Shatner is the best actor, singer and director of all time! I think it's safe to say that William Shatner is the most talented man on the planet.

If you love William Shatner, check out a film called, "Free Enterprise". The bits with Bill Shatner are a total hoot. He plays himself, wanting to write, direct, and star in a one man broadway production of I CLAUDIUS.

As for the new star trek film, little is known, but what is known is that the nemesis is that the new Romulan Emperor is (for reasons at this time not known) part Jean Luc Picard, a half clone. I have no idea how this works though. The new romulan leader makes good with the Reman empire and they combine to conqeour the federation once and for all (apparently).

And no that was not Jean Luc gettin jiggy, that was the new bad guy.

That was not lore, but rather a new version of Data, called B-9 (could be wrong on the designation though).

The basic synopsis is the Enterprise is called by star fleet to go to romulus and help with some odd thing and they get sucked into this whole takeover thing.

As for Insurection bieng the best? I am a true blue star trek fan, and that movie sucked my white behind. I fell asleep during the second screening of it. IT was just too cutesy for star trek.

FIve was cool, but had production problems from the start of it, so Bill Shatner did a pretty good job for a first timer with no resources to speak of.

Wrath of Kahn is always the best, you cant beat ricardo montalban for a bad guy.

I have here in front of me a record album (vinyl!) by William Shatner called "The Transformed Man". This album was supposed to be serious, and includes bizarre renditions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds".

Quoting from Bill's liner notes: "Now I've had some great thrills in my career... But the thrill I got from hearing this album all the way through was deeper and more satisfying than anything I had ever experienced."

Rhino Records put out a CD called "Golden Throats", a compilation of "songs" recorded by various actors, including Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. If you can find it, it's pretty funny. It includes the above-referenced tunes by Shatner. But you haven't heard anything until you hear Leonard Nimoy belt out "If I Had A Hammer" and "Proud Mary".

Acually we all have a life, and I am having sex with girl right now. The fact that we all seem to know so much about Shatner shows we have been around for a while. Kissed lots of pretty girls too.

It probably will change again real soon, so for those of you wondering which one of the dozen or so pics I am referencing, it is the one with him pointing at us.

That's funny because that was the same pic I was looking at when I read that page.

Shatner raps?? You gotta be kidding me?

Anywho, gettin back to Nemesis, is that bald guy the Romulan emperor? I suppose if he's a half clone (how can you be a half clone??) of Picard, that would explain why his ears aren't pointy, which is why I thought that the Romulans are not the bad guys in this movie.

Yes, Shatner raps in FREE ENTERPRISE. Dave is right. It's a great movie, and anyone who is unaware of Shatner's brilliance should definitely watch it, and all will become clear. The original screenplay for that film had Shatner as a God-like figure who appears at key moments in the main character's lives to give them much needed advice. Shatner did not approve of portraying himself as a God, and requested that the script be rewritten so that he would be a womanizing drunk. It was, and the result is one of the many masterpieces that came out of 1999.

As for the rapping, well, the musical which Shatner is trying to make in the film is actually JULIUS CAESAR, not I CLAUDIUS, and the rap is a piece called NO TEARS FOR CAESAR which is listed in the credits as being performed by The Rated R (who worked with Tupac) and The Artist Formerly Known As Shatner.

it's been nearly a year now since I have seen it. Got the I CLUADIUS thing wrong, but still the same, funny stuff.

That is the romulan emperor with Troi actually, during an invasive dream sequence (apparently). How he is a half clone, dunno. Its star trek, you can do anything with star trek.

There is a new trailer out this weekend with the Four Feathers for this film, and I watched it tonight on UPN during the TWILIGHT ZONE premier.

This trailer definately shows that this movie will be worth watching. It was very impressive.
