Review of The Captains (2011) by Alexandra W — 05 Oct 2012

I put this on for some company while I was painting my nails. It's kind of fun--basically just William Shatner talking about his life with some bizarre interviews and convention footage thrown in. I do want to talk about a few things, though.

1. Patrick Stewart seems super sweet and regular. Or is he just a really good actor?

2. All of Avery Brooks's scenes had me laughing out loud SO MUCH! It was as if he was doing slam poetry with every single word he said. It made both no sense and all the sense at once. I would buy a book of his poetry in less than a second.

3. When Shatner interviews Kate Mulgrew about the long work days filming, it is hilarious how much they do not connect. They are having totally separate conversations, in fact. All Shatner wants to say is that women should stay in the kitchen, and all Mulgrew wants to say is "Shove it, Shatner, and let me talk about how hard I worked!" Awkwardest. And so funny.
