Death is the stupid that always catches up by SoylentMean	Jan 14th, 2009 04:21:56 PM
I wish Death would trip on its face for a good while...
RIP Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!! by Liberty Valance	Jan 14th, 2009 04:22:26 PM
For hate's sake I hope he spit his last breath at thee. Star Trek II is going to get popped into a lot of DVD players tonight. Rest in peace Ricardo.
Wow, I wonder how many Khaaaaaans this TB will get? by SoylentMean	Jan 14th, 2009 04:23:06 PM
The guy did more than that folks, der.
He spat his last breath at thee. by FluffyUnbound	Jan 14th, 2009 04:23:56 PM
The funny thing about his appearance as Khan in TOS is that I absolutely bought that he was a genetically engineered superman. He was a monster in the late 60's.
Cool just lost another member by Yuber	Jan 14th, 2009 04:24:00 PM
First No. 6 now Khan. I heard such things always come in threes. I wonder if there'll be another name flashing across the screen as having died today.
I will be watching Naked Gun for my tribute by Seth_Brundle	Jan 14th, 2009 04:24:07 PM
His Vincent Ludwig was priceless
RIP Ricardo by Vic Twenty	Jan 14th, 2009 04:24:08 PM
A great guy - met him 2x, once got to really talk to him. Just a prince of a guy.
Another great one gone by picardsucks	Jan 14th, 2009 04:24:38 PM
Very sad.
You were the man sir.... by Purgatori	Jan 14th, 2009 04:25:02 PM
The voice, the eyes, and the power of one of the greatest sci-fi villains ever. Because he really wasn't a villain. He made Khan the tragic anti-hero, but a badass nonetheless. But not just Khan. He brought class to everything he was in. Fantasy Island had a touch of class and legitimacy because of his performance. This is a sad, sad day for film and TV lovers, but for us geeks even more so.
Goodbye old friend by ScottinDC	Jan 14th, 2009 04:25:07 PM
You'll be missed but never forgotten.
That quote by skimn	Jan 14th, 2009 04:25:50 PM
"Your friend here has a very keen intellect, I see why you like him." I can just hear that spoken in that mellifluous voice and accent he had. He and McGoohan passing in the same day is a sad day indeed.
Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins! by Johnny Smith	Jan 14th, 2009 04:26:04 PM
"You're asking me to risk imprisonment for the sake of two fugitive apes? The answer is, a thousand times, yes!" A class act, along with McGoohan. Today really, really sucks.
¿ Que es mas macho by m.dung	Jan 14th, 2009 04:26:23 PM
Jack Lord o Ricardo Montalban? So long Khan, you'll be missed.
"Chrysler Cordoba with fine, corINTHian leather..." by Sir Loin	Jan 14th, 2009 04:26:40 PM
I always wanted to meet him, seemed like such a great guy who would have tons of stories to tell.
Very classy by Nordling	Jan 14th, 2009 04:27:30 PM
Thanks for the write-up, Harry.
This news sucks. by Fah-Cue	Jan 14th, 2009 04:27:40 PM
He was one of the silver screen's greatest villains. On another note -- even Harry's obituaries are filled with self-pomposity. It's so difficult getting through your writings, Harry. They're long-winded and ALWAYS refer back to yourself. Talk about Ricardo's great work and talent... not how YOU were connected to him. It's nothing like Shatner or Nicholas Meyer revealing an amusing personal story about him. You are a blogger who is in the furthest orbit of celebrity. We want movie news, not Harry Knowles news.
Ricardo was the MAN!!!! by Pissed Off And Bitter	Jan 14th, 2009 04:29:10 PM
I remember seeing Wrath of Khan in the theater when it came out. He really brought it to Kirk and Co. Arguably one of the GREATEST movie villains in the history of cinema, up there with Vader. Oh yeah and like all the other talkbackers, this is a mark of respect: KHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!
Nooooooooo!!!! by DeCypher44	Jan 14th, 2009 04:29:15 PM
Well, may he rest in peace, relaxing on a recliner made from rich Corinthian leather up in the clouds.
Very Sad Day Indeed my friends!! by Arcangel2020	Jan 14th, 2009 04:30:52 PM
Excellent write up Harry on Mr. Montelban! Even though I am not old enough to know about a lot of his older Movies? I too grew up in the Generation that knew of him in such roles as "Armando" from the Planet of The Apes Movie, the very cool, dapper and mysterious Mr Rouke from Fantasy Island (Hell, besides all of the THEN Hollywood Hotties that gest starred each week on the show? I wanted to be cool like Mr. Rouke as a kid!) and the way he "shilled" and got a lot of our Parents to purchase a car with "Rich Corinthian Leather" was too cool as well! He had SUCH a quality Voice that was so cool to listen too! And of course! As any TRUE Sci-Fi/Star Trek Fan out there goes...WE will always remember him as that Evil Bastard of Genetic Superhero Engineering and Renegade from the Eugenics Wars as Khan Noonien Singh! From TV Show and of course Star Trek: The Wraith of Khan! (Man!! I SO use to LOVE quoting lines from that Movie as a kid and annoying & crack up my co-workers/fellow Air Force enlistees and officers I worked with by randomly quoting that Movie!!) A True gentleman and hollywood actor & icon has passed Rest in Peace Mr. Montelban, you will be missed!!
Sad news by hamo455	Jan 14th, 2009 04:31:20 PM
There's no words fitting for a time like this, may he rest in peace.
The Khan novels were decidely interesting... by zinc_chameleon	Jan 14th, 2009 04:31:53 PM
to say the least. Khan invades the usual research station, but the guards are terrific shots, and even the women scientists nearly kill him. Of course, he's only a teenage in the book I read, but they could definitely bring him back into the Star Trek universe. And really, someone like Khan is destined to show up sometime in the middle of this century. A great character from TOS.
khhhhhaaaaaaaannnn by disfigurehead	Jan 14th, 2009 04:32:21 PM

Khaaaaaaant believe it by Smashing	Jan 14th, 2009 04:32:36 PM

...I! (kick) Have had!!(kick) Enough of!!! (kick) YOU!!!! But then I realized it's from the wrong Star Trek movie...whew, close call.
Ricardo Montalban by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 14th, 2009 04:32:54 PM
His performance as Khan kept me entertained for a whole summer when I got Star Trek II on VHS. I used to run around the house quoting all his dialogue. "Now tell me...why are you here? And tell me where I may find...James Kirk..." Classic.
KHHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN! by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 14th, 2009 04:34:06 PM
It had to be done.
To anyone who ever met him..... by Pissed Off And Bitter	Jan 14th, 2009 04:34:37 PM
I always wanted to know... What did he smell like? I always thought he was an Old Spice, musky cologne type of guy.
Naked Gun by BilboRing	Jan 14th, 2009 04:35:05 PM
He was great in that too, isn't that right, Mr. Papsmear?

"THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE!!!" by DocPazuzu	Jan 14th, 2009 04:36:11 PM
Damn, what a loss. He was one of those rare guys who exuded a seemingly impossible combination of unassailable cool and humility. He could be very funny and very menacing, but always enormously charming. If you haven't seen them yet, check out his bits in the special features on the Wrath of Khan disc -- great stuff. Where's the Genesis Effect when you really need it? Rest in peace, Senor Montalban.
And to some of us, he will always be by SympatheticDevil	Jan 14th, 2009 04:36:41 PM

Steve Jobs is Dead! by Lashlarue	Jan 14th, 2009 04:37:07 PM

Nearly killed Chekov and that other guy vaporized himself cause he couldn't take it anymore. From then on, Khan scared the shit out of me.
Cheers AMAD for Border Incident just in time!! by zacUpquark	Jan 14th, 2009 04:46:21 PM

Had to, in tribute to a fine actor.
Seengle minded of purpose and deadly when it finds what it waaaa by Kefrif	Jan 14th, 2009 04:54:17 PM
I really loved his performance in The Naked Gun. Understated, brilliant - especially the Siamese fighting fish scene...
Ricardo was pure class by theycallmemrglass	Jan 14th, 2009 04:54:44 PM
Even outshined Columbo in the episode where he plays a villainous bull fighter. Watched Spy Kids 3D on xmas day (great fun novelty film to watch with everyone donning 3D glasses!) and he just oozed class yet again and I had no idea he was suffering and wheel chair bound for real until Harry mentioned it above. RIP Ricardo.
Real acting skills, dignified and classy... by conspiracy	Jan 14th, 2009 04:54:50 PM
so unlike the entertainment business these days. Damned shame...Hollywood could use more guys like this.

I don't even like Star Trek that much by luis1210	Jan 14th, 2009 04:55:44 PM
But his turn as Khan is what i know him for, and i think its a memorable role that means a lot to me, so fuck those who think it's a disrespect to Ricardo's work to reference it.
This has been a loooong day. by The Reluctant Austinite	Jan 14th, 2009 04:55:57 PM
I've spent too much time on the internet today, and it seems like every time I log on another hero of mine has passed away. I found out a friend from high school died last night. Ron Asheton of Iggy & the Stooges died earlier this week. Then Patrick McGoohan today. Now this. The older I get, the more death I witness.

This day sucks! Battleground is a very under appreciated movie. It was one of the first that didn't have to go through the war department for approval. He was great in it. RIP Mr. Montalban you were one of the greats!
It's hard to say "Smiles, everyone, smiles!" at a time like this by briantag	Jan 14th, 2009 05:07:27 PM

Not a good day for some of the best. Another actor who left us with a lot of great work. Thanks for that Mr. Montalban.
"Quién es más macho? Senor Lamas o Ricardo Montalban?" by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jan 14th, 2009 05:09:11 PM
The answer is and always will be Ricardo Montalban. This is sad news. I always liked Ricardo Montalban, he just seemed like such a class act and I always felt he was underused as an actor. Without a doubt, his portrayal of Khan goes down as one of the greatest movie villains of all time. He had great comedic range as well. It's a bummer to learn of his passing. "Ah, Kirk, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in space!" RIP Senor Montalban.
"We. Offered. The World. ORDER!!!" by Lost_Horizon	Jan 14th, 2009 05:09:41 PM
He was much more than Khan, but those two performances he gave will always be magical to me. That quivering lip as he goes into an apoplectic rage over Kirk's "I'm laughing at the superior intellect." shot is just classic. May he rest in peace.
Fans should also check out MYSTERY STREET by gnortsmra	Jan 14th, 2009 05:10:13 PM

Bummer by toxicbuddha	Jan 14th, 2009 05:14:14 PM
Many a whippersnapper will only know him from Khan or Spy Kids or even worse his Fantasy Island stuff, but he was one handsome smooth suave Latin motherfucker. I loved those films, and will be watching 3 or 4 of them over the weekend while pouring out a little liquor. One of those performers who will actually be missed.
I've Hurt You...And I Wish To Go On...Hurting You... by drwynninblack	Jan 14th, 2009 05:15:15 PM

Wrath of Khan I have never seen. by worldofwarcraft	Jan 14th, 2009 05:16:42 PM
Never been into Trek. But loved his performance in Naked Gun. Now I'll have to check out Khan. But do I have to see the first movie? Or can I just jump right ahead? (I'm not totally clueless about the characters, by the way . Spocks Vulcan, no emotion,Scotties engineer or something, etc...)

Harry and came straight here. What a damn shame. I grew up watching Ricardo on Fantasy Island. And was amazed at the transformation between Mr. Rourke and Khan. They were my formative years, and the man transfixed me as an actor. I'm bummed. I had the slightest of slight hopes he would appear in any Star Trek sequels. Sigh :( Now, that will never be...

An elegant guy. I will always love how he slaps Chekov around by putting the critters in his ears. A great bad guy, very smooth, calculating. He was a great baddie on "Wild Wild West" & "Mission Impossible." He was offered to play Khan again on the Next Generation. A script was writen, it explained how Khan came back to life due to all the Genesis stuff and how Picard was going to fight him, the ep ended with Khan being a computer simulation created by Data as the ultimate training program. All was set to roll when Ricardo said he did not want to play Khan ever again. Damn.
Thanks. Gonna qeue up Khan now by worldofwarcraft	Jan 14th, 2009 05:41:29 PM

His pecs in Trek II were real, that VH1 episode is full of shit! The Director Nic Meyer confirms it and I recall watching something on tv as a kid that made a big deal out of it because at the time, RM was in his 60's. HIS PECS WERE REAL! Damn right!

A truly honorable man in real life. by BrokenHeath	Jan 14th, 2009 05:54:09 PM
I could tell from his appearances on talk shows that he was a truly gentle and kind person which is what is the greatest loss. His presence and voice were mesmerising. That he left behind some memorable characters in his acting roles is secondary. R.I.P.
He did a lot of cool stuff in his life by SLASH0723	Jan 14th, 2009 05:58:32 PM

Yes. It would have been great to see Ricardo Montalbán in the new Trek film, having succeeded in building and ruling a mirror universe empire and somehow making his way into our universe to fight Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise.
One more thing! by Yelnick McWaWa	Jan 14th, 2009 06:13:05 PM
His work in Planet of the Apes is fantastic as well! Would love to see Khan in the next Trek sequel.

I love to read between the lines of Nicholas Meyer's Khan commentary, that basically Shatner was a star but Montalban was an actor, and Meyer directed Montalban but more or less wrangled Shatner. I hope there is the softest Corinthian leather in heaven.

The DESERT WARRIOR is gone. Goodbye mi Amigo!! by Monkey_King	Jan 14th, 2009 06:51:03 PM
You will be missed forever Senor Montalban.
Class personified. by YackBacker	Jan 14th, 2009 06:56:33 PM
And what a great performer. I wish his family and friends comfort, peace and my deepest condolences. Mr. Montalban is a legend, always.
He will always be Khan to me by GeorgieBoy	Jan 14th, 2009 06:57:04 PM
Some actors aren't lucky enough to be so closely identified with a role as that. Truly an icon.
Oh, and the PECS WERE REAL! by GeorgieBoy	Jan 14th, 2009 06:58:38 PM
Get off it folks. Meyer confirmed in the commentary that it really was Ricardo's chest.
My favorite part, though... by cifra	Jan 14th, 2009 07:04:42 PM
... was in The Naked Gun. Love that movie.
THE LESSON ON MANHOOD by Le Chevalier Noir	Jan 14th, 2009 07:04:50 PM
... was the script of Space Seed and the performance of Mr. Montalban. I believe a piece of news such as this should only aspire us to seek more vehement transcendence over the weak and passive web of lies that has held us back, so that we may all become a group of... exceptional men. ********* "But you... I never forget a face."

Just saw TWOK on TV last night by Redc40	Jan 14th, 2009 07:06:34 PM
and actually wondered out loud how he was doing. Sad to see he's passed on, but his work will absolutely live on. Rest easy Mr. Montalban.
Nooo!!! by Orionsangels	Jan 14th, 2009 07:07:13 PM
I just heard. Sad news. What a great loss, a great actor. Rest in Peace
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! by kbarber29	Jan 14th, 2009 07:13:33 PM
I am truly saddened by the loss of this great actor! Rest in Peace, Ricardo!

I had to say it. Damn, I dunno, I guess I'm beginning to feel my age a bit when we lose TV and movie icon actors like this. Majel a few weeks ago, and now Ricardo. You will be missed Ricardo Montalban. God Bless.
BTW The chest WAS real by Purgatori	Jan 14th, 2009 07:28:09 PM
The man, even at that age, did push ups before every scene so it would be even more built and tough looking. This one hurts :(

Mr. Rourke by Hikaru Ichijo	Jan 14th, 2009 07:54:51 PM
When I think back to my childhood, particularly my viewing habits, I can't help but recall the two hour block on Saturday night that was "Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island." This was when 10 o'clock was a really late night. After the bikinis things would get more philosophical, perhaps with a time travel or macabre storyline. Remeber Roddy McDowell as the ANTI-Mr.Rourke? Montalban was on tv for less than ten minutes, but it was his performance that resonated the most. Absolutely stupid tripe, but this guy made it a success. His was a career filled with excellence.
Dammit by zacdilone	Jan 14th, 2009 08:05:37 PM
I just saw his "Biography" the other day (they were doing a whole day of "Star Trek" shows), and I thought to myself that they need more classy people like Ricardo Montalban in Hollywood. I even thought I would write him a note and tell him how much I appreciated both his work and his advocacy for the Latin American community in the entertainment industry. He dispatched the Frito Bandito, but he couldn't defeat death. I know he lives on.
For the umpteenth time...Khaaaaaaaaannn!!!!! by Dogmatic	Jan 14th, 2009 08:05:52 PM

Montalban's Khan and Rickman's Gruber = Best 80s Villains by YackBacker	Jan 14th, 2009 08:43:23 PM
Maybe some of the the best film villains ever.
Ya know when I realized Khan was an exceptional villain? by YackBacker	Jan 14th, 2009 08:48:04 PM
In STAR TREK II when Kirk and Spock confer over Khan, saying "He is intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking." Watching that scene, I was so involved in hearing what our heroes had to say about him, it is like watching people talk about Hitler or Stalin- you want to know more about those people because they are so charismatic and dangerous. Montalban made that character transcend an already excellent script.
His duel with Langella's Zorro by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 14th, 2009 08:50:30 PM
was on of my favorite fighting scenes as a kid. Long before Baderas Langella owned the character, and Montalban was a worhty opponent. It was a perfect scene. First, and Lucas must have stolen this, he and Zorro discarded their outer garments and jackets leaving only their inner shirts. There's two candles on the desk. Montalban, who earlier in the movie had bragged about the quality of the sword, sliced through one candle. Next, Langella does the same. Nothing happens. Montalban says "You missed." A gentle tap, and the candle falls. Ah, memories.......
Rest in peace. by tristeele	Jan 14th, 2009 08:58:04 PM
What a terrible day. STII was my first experience with Star Trek. It is still far and away my favorite out of anything in the Star Trek universe. Also growing up in the 80's I couldn't wait for Love Boat to get over with on Saturday night on ABC so I could watch some Fantasy Island. I'm losing a bit of my youth everyday reading all these obits. Truly a bummer day. :(

Does anyone else remember watching Ricarardo match wits with Cathy Lee Crosby in the Wonder Woman TV movie. His charater was named, "Sebastian." Ugggggh I'm so upset over his death.
Rest In Peace Ricardo by 900LBGorilla	Jan 14th, 2009 10:21:35 PM
He was great in eveything he did...just one of those actors who's regular manner was engaging. Nice write up Harry - I liked the videos...but you forgot The Naked Gun- he was awesome in that movie.
Grammaton, that Zorro scene with Montalban... by Orbots Commander	Jan 14th, 2009 10:28:55 PM
...was from the 1970's made for TV version of The Mark of Zorro. That scene with the sword slicing the candles was lifted directly from two movies: the Mark of Zorro with Tyrone Power and the spaghetti western Zorro with Alain Delon (you remember, the one with the theme song, "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-Zorro's- back").

This time, de plane comes for YOU, you wonderful entertaining fellow you. JJ Abrams better at least mention you in the credits.

Rattleman by HEADGEEK	Jan 14th, 2009 11:51:37 PM
Not really sure if you've lost anyone you've known, but when talking about someone you've known that has passed, you talk about a story regarding you and them. It's how you SHARE THEIR MEMORY, through your experiences with them. It isn't about me, it's my experiences with him. If you're looking for a clean and spiffy impersonal OBIT - I suggest going to YAHOO or the AP. Here we eulogize - talk about how these actors, writers, directors and talented folks affected us... either by their work or sometimes, in person. It's kind of an Irish thing.
Uh...Ant Bully?! by JimCurry	Jan 15th, 2009 12:08:09 AM
No one is mentioning Ant Bully, and that's just ridiculous. Enjoy the man's entire filmography before you talk like you know his legacy. Ricardo, you will be missed.
RIP by a rolling stone	Jan 15th, 2009 12:26:38 AM
I just forced my sister to sit down and watch Wrath of Khan. She fought me, kicking and screaming as most women do, then towards the end, she was glued to it. She starts asking "Khan died in the blast, right?" and "How does Spock survive?" and "What happens to Genesis?" She's a Christopher Lloyd fan, so Search For Spock is next on the list, but Ricardo opened my kid sister to the nerd world of Star Trek. He was the villain of villains in that film. I'll miss him.

Montalban was a wonderful Catholic man by GreatOne3	Jan 15th, 2009 12:38:53 AM
Married 63 years (his wife died in November of 2007). Said that his faith was the most important thing in his life, and he was named a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by the Vatican in 1998. A true role model receiving his eternal reward. God bless him.

A class act by deadboy1313	Jan 15th, 2009 01:13:14 AM
My favorite roles that he played were in the Planet of the Apes movies, and in Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan. He stole the entire movie for me, and what a brilliant actor he was. I've never seen many of his earlier movies, but will be going to IMDB to set up a queue for Netflix. He always had such class, and always seemed so down to Earth. The world has lost a fine gentleman and one of the last remaining legends of Howllywood royalty.

His prediction will sadly come true... by Charlie & Tex	Jan 15th, 2009 01:20:09 AM
Montalban distilled the essence of being in Hollywood a few years ago, and in his memory, ponder on this it for a while: The nature of the business runs like this: "Who is Ricardo Montalban? Get me Ricardo Montalban! Get me a Ricardo Montalban type! Get me a young Ricardo Montalban! Who is Ricardo Montalban?" Words from a man who went through it all. With many we have mentioned his name to today drawing blank looks, the last part might have come to pass. A sad loss, for sure.

Down nearly 100lbs from the start. Started in 7xl shirts, now I'm fitting in 3xl shirts. My diabetes has seemingly gone away, with my tests showing up in the upper degree of Normal Blood Sugar levels - even the day after my wife's birthday cake. Feeling great, and 2nd week of February - we begin hitting the gym a regular 5 days a week, to work on getting me out of this chair.

Just my opinion. Glad your doing so well Harry. You never know, keep up this level of effort and Dancing With The Stars (whatever the US version of strictly come dancing is called) might be an option... ok maybe not but that would be a hell of a goal to achieve. Keep it up big (but getting smaller) guy.

Dazzler by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2009 07:53:16 AM
I forget the guy's name--not even sure if they mention his name in the movie. But yeah, it's plausible he could have been Khan's son, even if that relationship wasn't verbally established either. He never calls him son, and the crewman never refers to him as father. Then again, you'd think Khan's son would know why Khan hated Kirk, and would therefore never suggest, "Look--you have your freedom, you have a ship, let's just get out of here."

Wow that was actually pretty well written by Cotton McKnight	Jan 15th, 2009 08:35:39 AM
It made me feel even sadder than I already was. I am not familiar with his older stuff but I have always believed that he never got the credit that he deserved. I just loved watching him act. In a way, he reminded me of Frank Sinatra and Willie Nelson, in the way that he used the cadence of his voice to carry a moment. I am really going to miss him.
I'm glad my kids... by Marillion	Jan 15th, 2009 08:41:30 AM
Got to know Mantolban through the Spy Kids movies as well as Kim Possible, where he provided the vocals for the villian "Senor Senior Senior"... My son, who is now a budding Star Trek fan, was jazzed when he saw Trek II and recognized Khan, but couldn't believe he was playing such a bad guy after seeing him as a "dear ol' grand dad" in the SK movies. RIP, Senor.. Via con Dios!

Lyrics to the Warp 11 song: Montalban by warp11	Jan 15th, 2009 08:45:12 AM
From the day he took his white suit off And left the midget far behind He started taking steroids Froze himself in time Now he’s slept the sleep of centuries A superman from the past From hell's heart he will stab at thee And get eugenic on your ass My friend, go Well, he’ll put things in your body And lay your mind to waste Quote a line from Milton And never forget your face Cause he’s a villain cruel as Vader And as Merciless as Ming He’s as pissed off as a predator It’s Khan Noonien Singh My friend, go Phaser fests, prosthetic chests, it’s all I want to see Some may say it’s fake But it looks real enough to me Montalban (Ricardo) Montalban (Ricardo) Wrath of Kahn (Me llamo) Montalban Well, it began in episode 24 On a ship called Botany Bay And they marooned him on Seti Alpha 5 But we knew he’d be back someday Cause he’s too big for television They knew it even then So they put him in the movie Star Trek 2 And they should have brought him back for Star Trek 10 Go Starship fights, parasites, it’s all I want to see You may call him Mr. Roarke But he’s always Kahn to me Montalban (Ricardo) Montalban (Ricardo) Wrath of Kahn (Me llamo) Montalban

Was listening to a radio morning show on the way to work by skimn	Jan 15th, 2009 09:18:28 AM
and when they mentioned Montalban's death, their under 30 year old producer had no idea who they were talking about. And I realized, there is an entire generation or two that have no idea who the man was, and thats almost as sad as his passing.
I got a message for you from Vincent Ludwig! by darthpigman	Jan 15th, 2009 09:30:35 AM

It is incidental that he was a movie actor by ArcadianDS	Jan 15th, 2009 10:20:13 AM
The true loss is that Mr. Montalban was certainly among the best of us as a species. If he spoke of you, he was complimentary. If he spoke to you, he was gracious and polite. I met him briefly when he was out of film and confined to voice over cameos. Our interchange amounted to me getting luggage and carrying it to a waiting car. He was already inside it and walked to the passenger window and held out my hand. He fumbled a bit and asked the driver if he had any cash. I leaned down and said, "I dont want money." He pivoted a bit to look up, smiled, and awkwardly reached an over the shoulder arm out the door and shook my hand. His grip was loose and enveloped me whole hand over the top - the kind of handshake you'd imagine the Pope would give. Oh sure its a stupid handshake big deal. well, I guess so - but he could easily had just pulled a Howie Mandel and waved at me, or an Alec Guiness and told me to go to hell - but he was gracious, and made out of pure class. This gets said way too often around these kinds of talkbacks, but it has never ever been quite so true as it is in this one: we will indeed never have another like him again. He was truly one of a kind.

BSB by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2009 11:13:40 AM
If I remember correctly, I think at the time of banishment, Ceti Alpha 5 could sustain life and even become a veritable eden, if Khan and his people farmed and irrigated appropriately. It only became a desolate wasteland after neighboring Ceti Alpha 6 blew up, which caused Alpha 5 to shift orbit and its climac got screwy. Damn I felt geeky saying that.
