Last Person #5

[Xue Sheng]

The terrifying thing about that megalodon is that it is apparently capable of changing its size. Throughout the movie, that scene is the largest (I think) it gets. It is also, apparently, capable of jumping or flying several thousand feet in the air. Imagine if that thing ended up in a Sharknado!

It appears that Jason Statham may be fighting a Megalodon in his next film..."The Meg"

But Shatner was the original. John Lithgow had the benefit of watching Shatner’s role and improving it.

Well.... he would be hard pressed not to improve on Shatner. Even Shatner would tell you that. ;-)

Wow... you weren't joking - I just looked it up on IMDB. It does exist! Because... clearly... we don't have enough movies about giant sharks.

Yes. Yes, I'm sure that is the reason it was better.

Well, of course he will be. I mean, why wouldn't he be?

 

[CB Jones]

Yes. Yes, I'm sure that is the reason it was better.

Just giving Shatner some credit. I like the original.

 

[Buka]

You should be more worried about these....

I saw that episode when I was eleven years old. It scared me as much as anything I had seen on TV. And I KNEW it was real.

I remember as a kid watching The Phantom in the Mirror episode of Amazing Stories and it freaking me out. For the next few days I was scared to look in a mirror. Lol.

I remember that. Martin Scorsese wrote that teleplay.

I like the original, too. And I'm a Shatner fan. He did reasonably well in that episode, and less well in most everything else he did. But he was always fun to watch, in part because of his campy acting. I recall hearing that he was amused by people being outraged at him - Capt. Kirk - stooping to do commercials for Priceline. I read a quote somewhere that was similar to, "I'm just rising to the level of my own mediocrity."

 

[Buka]

In my opinion, Shatner has had one of the most interesting acting careers of all time.

And wrote some quite readable sci-fi novels, too.

I didn't know that. That's pretty darn cool.

The TekWar series:
The TekWar Series Book Series: Amazon.com

Apparently, they also did a TV series and video game based on this.

I saw my first horror movie ever in 1989 when I was 14 - it was John Carpenter's 1982 "The Thing" (yeah, it took it that long to get to Soviet Union - iron curtain and all that). I couldn't sleep for days - every time I closed my eyes I saw that husky turning inside out.

i think we all can agree the responsible thing to do would be to cover it up with a blanket or a curtain and pretend like its not there. problem solved

I am also expecting a package, not as big, but a package..... I am now wondering which one of my neighbors got it......I think this gives me the right to go door to door...pound violently on these doors and DEMAND they give me my package.....

 

[Xue Sheng]

Oh...and I got a new snow shovel.... and it is snowing.....WOOHOO!!! I get to go try it out today......I can hardly wait..... and the oldest is coming home from college today too..... told him last night he might be better off waiting a day due to the storm...his answer was ..... OK, I'll see you tomorrow...around noon.....yup he listens well....
