Happy 81st birthday, William Shatner!

Thursday, March 22, 2012


Today marks the 81st birthday of William Shatner. I was tempted to celebrate by posting something goofy, a clip of Shatner's infamous performance of Rocket Man or whatever, but instead I decided to post this clip from Shatner's directorial debut, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. While it's widely (and accurately) regarded as the worst of the Trek films featuring the original cast, it does contain a handful of really effective scenes, such as the one above. Let's all gather around the campfire for one more evening with Kirk, Spock and Bones. Happy 81st, Captain.

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
