Harry's Gay Love by Jeff B Demented	Jan 24th, 2002 02:26:19 AM
Wow Harry. I hope someone was able to clean your jizz off Shatner's shoe.
So El Cosmico has some of Shatner's sperm now? by Saucy_Jack	Jan 24th, 2002 02:32:29 AM
Hope you guys didn't hold it in your mouths for too long, it dies after 72 hours. Just gargle and rinse. But seriously, great story, looking forward to the transcript. By the way, people who misspell or mispronounce words like "Cappachino" and "expresso" should be strapped to a "nucular" bomb.
Harry, I officially envy you by Media Fiend	Jan 24th, 2002 02:34:17 AM
The only way your experience could be improved upon, in my opinion, is if you folks wound up barbecueing together. If you do, I'll bring the 'slaw.
Simply Beautiful by rubby	Jan 24th, 2002 02:38:47 AM
I just don't know how I can put my thoughts into words after reading this article. No crap here, I just can't. This proves why Harry is so good at what he does and why AICN is what it is but this is above all else, what AICN does at it's best and I can only hope for more articles like this. It's the best thing I've read on this website for a long time and I hope for more stuff like this in the future. Just wanted to say thank you Harry, you've made my day.
It is currently sitting in El Cosmico by Ambient_Noise	Jan 24th, 2002 02:41:25 AM
What, you guys saved a bit of Shatner's spittle from his cup? Loads of DNA there.
Did anyone ask Shatner when he would record another album? by otis von zipper	Jan 24th, 2002 03:11:37 AM
Or when Impulse would come out on DVD? Seriously, a Special Edition DVD of Impulse with a running commentary by Shatner. Now THAT would be something.
The Self-Importance Knows No Bounds by Wallgrom	Jan 24th, 2002 03:14:24 AM
Did anybody actually read this self-aggrandizing blather?
T.J. Hooker! T.J. Hooker! You mean you didn't talk to him ab by Regis Travolta	Jan 24th, 2002 03:23:54 AM
Christ Harry what's wrong with you man? Shatner got to work with Heather Locklear on T.J. Hooker and that's about as cool and sexy as you can get! He also got to kiss Uhura in Classic Trek episode the very first interracial kiss ever on network TV! And what about "Get a life! Get a life!" from his hilarious turn on Saturday Night Live? Oh well not enough time to cover everything but you done good anyway.
Oh and those stupid "Tek War" novels Shatner claimed to co-autho by Regis Travolta	Jan 24th, 2002 03:25:34 AM
Write them? He didn't even read them! They were awful trash that he got paid by the publisher to lend his name to. Now that's a crime against literature let me tell you! Tek War my ass.
Harry, I'm glad someone else out there loves "Clash of the T by St Buggering	Jan 24th, 2002 04:58:22 AM
I'm so used to hearing fans crap all over it. I'm not sure why. You'd think fantasy fans would be grateful for that rare item, but they seem to prefer bitching about things. Good article; I remember when Shatner was widely considered a joke and universally made fun of, so it's good to see him become semicool again (despite Trek V).
Decaff. Espresso? by Kurg1	Jan 24th, 2002 07:30:38 AM
FFS!
i LOVED Star Trek 5 by MrEnumber6	Jan 24th, 2002 08:36:23 AM
And I don't care who knows it! I've championed this film to friends since it's release. I like Shatner and to me, his humanity (the same humanity that made his portrayal of Kirk so successful....yes, including the faults) shone through in that film. And just hate the studio for the cheapness.....not him.
2yrs old by PeanutGallery	Jan 24th, 2002 08:44:37 AM
I have known a lot of 2 & 3 year olds in my time. And not one of them had the attention span to hawk merchandise at a convention center...
Shatner is, was and forever shall be Kirk to me... by KevBell	Jan 24th, 2002 08:50:49 AM
Harry sounds just like the guys from Free Enterprise, but good for him.... Who wouldn't want twenty minutes with Shatner :-) "Oh my god...It's Bill!...and he's perusing porno! Right on!"
There better be a transcript.... by rev_skarekroe	Jan 24th, 2002 09:22:16 AM
...otherwise this whole "interview" just comes off like Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live. "Harry, do remember that time in 'Clash of the Titans' when you fought the scorpions? That was cool." sk
Wait...Star Trek is meant to be 'fun?' by Sgt. Bilko	Jan 24th, 2002 09:37:28 AM
Ha, I kid. I love the original series!
I would have shat myself. by CHEWBLACCA	Jan 24th, 2002 10:15:39 AM
Shatner is a fucking god and don't any of you ever forget it.I've met Uhura.I've met Scotty (twice).But never Shatner. I could usually give a shit about meeting celebrities,But I think I would crap my pants if I came into contact with the Captain.For once in my geeky life,I wish I were Harry.
El Cosmico's Treasure? by dp4m	Jan 24th, 2002 10:44:27 AM
Oooooo... could it be a signed Michael Myers mask? That could be used to reproduce Shatner's face onto a cloning system... =)
Harry: An SNL Character by quiscustodiet	Jan 24th, 2002 11:19:56 AM
Ever get the feeling that an interview with Harry would be liike an interview with the Chris Farley character from SNL, "Do you remember that time when you cursed at Kahn? That was cool! Do you remeber that time you were on screen with Sir Laurence Olivier? That was cool." Harry, I've got an okay level of respect for you but you're interviews suck!
Good one Head Geek! by ComputerGuy68	Jan 24th, 2002 11:29:21 AM
I have always felt that Bill was the butt of too many mean spirited jokes. Glad to see that he is appreciated by some. Trek 5 is also under appreciated in my opinion, it was one of the movies that captured the feel of TOS. Despite his
Sorry, Rev... by quiscustodiet	Jan 24th, 2002 11:29:37 AM
Didn't mean to steal your bit...and yes, I realize I wrote "you're" instead of "your", what can I say, I haven't had my coffee, yet!
The Fanboy experience by Redbeard_NV	Jan 24th, 2002 11:32:51 AM
Thanks for sharing Harry. I haven't been that giddy since I sat down with Gene Roddenberry for an hour after his Nassau Coliseum appearance during his Wonderful World of Start Trek tour a millennia ago. It's just one of those things you get goofy over for hours afterwards. Nothing wrong with that.
"FREE ENTERPRISE" by Smart Mark	Jan 24th, 2002 11:44:08 AM
Greatest Shatner movie of them all!!!
El Cosmico has Shatner's real hair by Nihilon	Jan 24th, 2002 12:35:03 PM

Shatner is a cheap bastard by Nihilon	Jan 24th, 2002 12:36:26 PM
can't he pay for his own cappacino? did that whole priceline.com thing hurt him THAT bad?
You are a BIG DORK. by Squashua	Jan 24th, 2002 01:50:31 PM
3 years old, I mean really.
Shatner Rules! by Spacesheik	Jan 24th, 2002 02:14:37 PM
I love this guy. I love Kirk, I love his self-deprecating sense om self-importance and his body of work (you geeks didn't appreciate KIDNAPPING OF THE PRESIDENT)? Well, I thought the TOS movies rocked and Captain Kirk kicked ass. I also loved his rap song "No tears for Caesar." The man can do no wrong! Bring back Kirk! Bring back Kirk!
Harry bounds across the room, his arm outstretched to shake the by Pizza The Hut	Jan 24th, 2002 02:40:08 PM
Captain's Log, Stardate 012402... My crew and I were attacked by a creature known as "The Harry Knowle". I killed it immediately with a blast from my phaser, burning the lumbering hulk to a char-broiled crisp. The smell of several fast food chains filled the air in it's wake.
Nice to see by wak15	Jan 24th, 2002 02:47:32 PM
Nice to see someone enjoying meeting the people who shaped their childhood. Dosnt matter who they are, in the presence of their Gods they go to jelly. Cant wait for the day when I meet El Speilbergo so I can make a grade A tit out of myself
Wow... it IS Free Enterprise 2: Knowle's Fantasia by Lordhoban	Jan 24th, 2002 03:19:51 PM
Seriously, now they'll hook up later at a bar, Shatner will talk about his failed love life and Mayan 9 hour musical with Heather Loclear set as the lead.. Well, I have Free Enterprise on video, love it.. great film..
I've never watched a single of episode of STAR TREK. by Cash Bailey	Jan 24th, 2002 04:00:57 PM
But I've seen WRATH OF KHAN and Shatner is just the most awesome swingin' dick in that movie. He's got a spark and a swagger that's a sight to behold, even with the girdle.
That 80's Show by Mark D	Jan 24th, 2002 04:31:57 PM
We don't get that eighties show in Ireland. I adored the 70's show, it was great. Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch. He owns, the Sky TV Corporation, has a stake in Paramount, Owns the Times NewsPaper Co. The Sun, News of the World and at least 3 other newspapers that I cant remember. Point is if you that if you say that fox is going down the toilet than that is exaclty the way Murdoch wants it. Daly out
Okay, gripes about Harry's spelling/grammar are legit, and s by Radagast T Brown	Jan 24th, 2002 05:40:16 PM
... but for fuck's sake, people, can Harry do NOTHING right in your eyes? Sometimes I swear it's like a huge flock of dorks circles AICN like chicken hawks and swoops in just to crap all over anything the poor guy posts. Harry can't write? Harry's site sucks? Harry's a sellout? Fine. Grab yourself a search engine, punch in "movie gossip," and take thy rat-eaten asses elsewhere. To Harry: ain't your back healed up yet? Best of luck with your recovery.
Video please!!!!!! by SamWave	Jan 24th, 2002 06:42:12 PM

"Don't Destroy the one named Kirk." by Captain Gorn	Jan 24th, 2002 08:09:29 PM
However, Rick Berman and Co. are the jerks that killed off Kirk in that crappy GENERATIONS flick! Never forget that these are the bastards that have usurped the TREK universe and continually shit all over the classic series with their tiresome retreads. I refuse to watch any more of their current abomination, which should actually be called "Voyager: Season Eight." I am Gorn -- hear me roar!
"Spock, set phasers to fat burning!" by Chow Yun Phat	Jan 24th, 2002 08:19:44 PM
Well, how do you like that, now you're both "gargantuan" Harry. I'm sure Bruce Lee is spinning in his grave at never having had the chance for you to lather up his ass as well.
Congrads Harry! by lostvegabrother	Jan 24th, 2002 08:42:00 PM
...for getting to sit down with the 2 most talentless individuals in the history of motion pictures - and television! Well done!
Lay off Harry for once by SoulOnIce	Jan 24th, 2002 10:02:43 PM
I admit that sometimes Harry's posts sound self-mastubatory but will you guys lay off. I think most of you are just jealous that he is doing what we would love to be doing instead of our normal shitty jobs. At least Harry got off his fat ass and turned his love for movies into a career. He is a geek, like one of us, and he made it. Stop trying to tear him down!
The Fat and The Shat, together at last. by Cash Bailey	Jan 24th, 2002 10:34:41 PM
C'mon, find one person who blames me.
Harry, Can't you throw a dog a bone? by DyslexicHeart	Jan 24th, 2002 11:17:28 PM
I had absolutely nothing to do today so I ended up dragging another virgin to see LOTR, but had I known you would be talking to Shatner and Hamlin at the Four Seasons I would have been there lickety split. I was estatic to hear them on my favorite morning radio show today and they were both funny. I hope the movie is funny, the trailor looked a little iffy but I might not have anything else to do this weekend.

Shatner, Toupees, El Pollo Loco, O.J., and the L.A. culture by NotchJohnson	Jan 25th, 2002 01:29:13 AM
Random thoughts....Los Angeles...bad tans...overpriced clothes...traffic...Shatner and his toupees....found all over the place...toupees on his rug....toupees at the O.J. Simpson crime scene....toupees near any local El Pollo Loco.....this is my first weird post....'Barfly' captures an essence about Los Angeles that many overlook....a strange flavor....Notch out.
"gotta get back in time" by durhay	Jan 25th, 2002 08:31:58 AM
remember that SNL skit where Kevin Nealon and Michael J. Fox are in the elevator? Kevin plays a fan, MJF plays himself? Kevin starts humming songs from "Back to the Future." I would have done similar to William Shatner, substituting "Back in Time" with "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" or "Mr. Tambourine Man" .
Even though they never met, Harry is who Bill had in mind when h by atomic-bananas	Jan 25th, 2002 11:25:24 AM
"Why don't you people get a life?" That story of his childhood was downright embarrassing.
AWESOME Hero Story by X-Girls	Jan 25th, 2002 01:51:03 PM
Really fucking well-written, Harry. And cool. That interview ended with a bang, you sound like you could end up being good friends with Shatner.
Harry Hamlin looks like my father-in-law by pavemental	Jan 25th, 2002 05:15:12 PM
My wife's dad still gets asked if he's that lawyer dude from LA Law. And Otis is right, a special edition DVD of Impulse is vital, its Shatner;s finest hour, his crowning achievement. Its what I'll always remeber him for. Him and that fat wrestler dude.
FORGET ST, FORGET T.J. HOOKER, SHATNER'S SHINING MOMENT WAS by billy_zardus	Jan 25th, 2002 05:18:23 PM
For those two episodes Shatner was in, he gave acting performances of epic scale. The way he pulled the lever of that little fortune telling machine with the bouncing devil's head set the standard for all lever pulling in the future. And the way he melted down aboard that airplane after pulling the curtain to see that creature that looked like the offspring of a gorilla and pig pulling the plane apart, not to mention the tremendous strength required to stay in the plane after he pulled the emergency exit latch. Any mortal man would have been sucked out, but not Shatner. He rules. period.
Billy Sardus by Redbeard_NV	Jan 26th, 2002 04:24:20 AM
Right on about Twilight Zone. "The Terror At 20,000 Feet" is a classic. Even more classic was the "Third Rock From The Sun" episoode where Shatner as the Bug Giant Head walks off the plane and describes the same situation to Dick, who in his alter ego of John Lithgow, played the same character Shatner did in the Twilight Zone movie. Their reaction and lines are hysterical together.
William Shatner is a demi-god by Drak_Tanner	Jan 26th, 2002 06:05:31 AM
That wonderfully odd man should do more comedy, he really should. He made "Miss Congeniality" watchable for the moments he was in it, and his stint on "Third Rock From The Sun" was sheer genius. And I'd say he's one of the greatest late night talk show guests ever. The man is funny. And, lets, not forget, he's a, decent actor to, boot!
Shatner's self effacing self-parodies by Redbeard_NV	Jan 26th, 2002 10:26:43 AM
Shatner is at his besyt when goofing on himself, or at least, Captain Kirk. His stint in Savage Steve Holland's "Eek! The Cat", doing the voice of Captain Bezerk in "Eek Space Nine" (along with david Duchovney and Gillian Anderson), as well as his turn with Kevin Pollack in "Perversions of Science", doing a dead on Kirk imitation while Shatner directed and starred in with his daughter, Melanie are both classic.
Shatner is a good actor by The Hillbrothers	Jan 26th, 2002 12:35:22 PM
He's not the greatest actor, but he's fairly good. I've met alot of people who act like that in real life, and although Shatner is a little one-note in that he always seems to play the same "character," he often seems more natural on screen than his co-actors (exception always having been De Forest Kelley). As Kirk he was almost always utterly believable to me, despite being unfairly maligned for the performance, a reputation more undeserved than even Kevin Costner's, and largely the result of a few memorable but over-the-top impersonations. But you know, the odd rhythm he uses? Like I said, I've seen real-life people talk like that. Some people are just naturally melodramatic, but beyond that, if you scrutinize Shatner's performance as Kirk, you'll find that he is very good with the thoughtful pauses and reactions, etc., that often come with real conversations (with a melodramatic person, that is). Too much TV acting these days has performers spouting lines back and forth at lightning speed, like thaey are just reading through the script. I think Shatner really delivers his dialogue as an actor should-- as if he's hearing the things said to him for the first time, processing them, and then crafting a response on the spot. I have a secret (no longer) desire to see how he'd do in some sort of light dramatic role in a film. He'd make a great father/grandfather type... Ok, I'm going a bit too far with my Shatner worship here... It's not something I think about alot, but this has given me an oportunity to compose my thoughts on the subject.
In the middle of the earth, in the land of the Shire, by Billy Talent	Jan 26th, 2002 03:36:19 PM
Lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire. With his long wooden pipe, his fuzzy little toes, he lives in a hobbit hole and everybody knows him. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, he's only three feet tall. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, the bravest little hobbit of them all. Now hobbits are peace loving folks you know, they're never in a hurry and they take things slow. They don't like to travel away from home, they just like to eat and be left alone. But one day Bilbo was asked to go on a big adventure to the caves below to help some dwarves get back their gold that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, he's only three feet tall. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, the bravest little hobbit of them all. Well he fought with the goblins! He battled a troll! He riddled with Gollum! A magic ring he stole! He was chased by wolves, lost in the forest, escaped in a barrel from the Elfen hall. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, he's only three feet tall. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, the bravest little hobbit of them all. Now he's back in his home in the land of the Shire, that brave little hobbit whom we all admire. Just a' sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold, puffing on his pipe in his hobbit hole. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, he's only three feet tall. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, the bravest little hobbit of them all.

Where Was Hamlin's Hot Hot Hot Hot Wife? by lil' bastard	Jan 28th, 2002 04:54:43 AM
Yes, but was Harry Hamlin's HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT wife Lisa Rinna there? I know she has had a baby (or two?) but she is babelicious. She is a MILF. She is a Yummy Mummy. Grrrrrrrrwwwwww.
