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?

Just giving Shatner some credit. I like the original.
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."
And wrote some quite readable sci-fi novels, too.
I didn't know that. That's pretty darn cool.

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.

package appears on my door step.... a UPS delivery.... it is a rather large package...it is a piece of exercise equipment..... oops...wrong address...for the neighbors across the street.... being a rather large package I decide to contact UPS.... do you have any idea how hard it is to get through to them for a mistake they made...they have no option on their website or on their computer automated voice system that answers the phone.... after saying..human, operator, real iive person, actual living being, multiple times and having it say it did not understand me so it was going to hang up...is that ok.... my answer was 'no'.... repeat this several times....it finally says..... I will connect you to an "attendant"..... apparently they do not make mistakes like this or they expect, those who receive packages they did not order, to keep them as their gift to them...Merry Christmas

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
