Features

By GustavoLeao / 19:06, 30 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to TrekMovie.com, while co-hosting Live with Regis and Kelly last Friday Star Trek star William Shatner explained why he has not seen the new Star Trek movie yet.

"I do care, but here is the problem. If I go to the theater, it's like, ‘there is the guy who thinks he is captain Kirk' or something like that. Some ridicule is going to happen. So I have sort of avoided that." Shatner said.

When you consider all the crap he takes from certain people on these boards I can't say I blame him. Paramount or JJ should have invited him to a private screening on the Paramount lot or at least sent him a screener.

Ahhh yes... the VERY uniformed and bad take that I am always talking about on here.

- Shatner doesn't read these boards, so there is no crap to be taken.

- J.J. invited him to the premiere as a gesture and Shatner didn't go. It is not Abrams' resposibility to "make sure" Shatner gets to a private screening after that, though i'm sure he would oblige if he was asked.

Some of you need to quit making excuses for the man. If he wanted to go see it, he'd have paid the $11 and walked into a late showing at a local theater weeks ago. Or even better now, cause the showings are less full.
