Shatner to Record Another Album

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up dept.

s20451 writes "Slashdotters may remember Canadian actor William Shatner from such hit TV shows as T. J. Hooker and Rescue 911; he was also known to dabble in science fiction. Shatner released an album, The Transformed Man, in 1968. Intending the album to be taken seriously, it is now held up as one of the campiest recordings of all time, including the worst Beatles cover ever produced. Now a new album is in the works, featuring joint work with Ben Folds, Henry Rollins, and Brad Paisley. More on Ananova."

    Canadians don't really have an accent
    This is the dumbest statement ever. An accent is simply, from Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary,
    Modulation of the voice in speaking; manner of speaking or pronouncing; peculiar or characteristic modification of the voice; tone;
    So either you have an accent, or you don't speak at all.

    I think we would all like to see more Shatner Star Trek. Either in a starring role or as a director. There is just something TNG-DS9-Voy, ect are just missing from TOS.

    I want my captain to be a womanizing manwhore fucking green aliens around the universe. Not some pansy bald headed geriatric who flys around with pinochio and Klingons that have butts on their forheads (we never did find out WHY Klingons had such a drastic change in appearance, other than worf saying "It's something we don't like to talk about")

    I could go on and on about what I don't like about the new ST stuff, like Janeway from Voyager, why does she sound like she smokes 2 packs a day, yet we never see her light up? Or why does scott bakula have a dog on enterprise? How come Cisco never puts the beat down on that Ferengi bar he KNOWS would sell out the station for a few bars of gold pressed latinum?

    Please....For the love of....God.... Bring us back our captain. With the cost of special effects so cheap these days, i'm sure something really cool could be produced for less than they spend on these new series.
