@socketwench - Nick Meyer specifically said that in order to get believable acting from Shatner, you had to run the takes until he got bored. Once he got bored, it was at an acceptable level.
That said, Shatner can really dole it out when he needs to. The mind meld here and the entire Spock/Kirk scene at the end of TWOK are DEVASTATING.
@dolari @socketwench oh so thats why he fell off his chair in 3
@antijingoist @socketwench - I didn't say he KEPT BEING GOOD. :D
@dolari @socketwench keeping that scene when david died and kirk misses the chair was a kick ass decision by the director imo. I didn't mean it in a bad way 😄
@antijingoist @socketwench - Personally I never liked it. It made me laugh everytime instead of feel for David's death.
Different strokes....
