In celebration of SDCC. And because if adults did it, it would really fuck up their backs.

May. 4th, 2010 04:50 pmSorry for the saturation on this. I was trying to get the fluorescent green thread to show up -- it's bright yellow in the picture -- and it didn't wanna.
Anyway, this is a hack of a 99-cent Mickey punchneedle kit. The stitching isn't very good, but at least there's a lot of it.

May. 14th, 2009 10:36 amShatnerquake is disappointing, but for incredibly stupid reasons. The writing isn't very good. And when I say that, I mean that the punctuation and sentence structure could be vastly improved by a simple Word spell- and grammarcheck. Or a mildly competent human editor. And -- this will sound insane, but when you open the book, you'll see it immediately -- the typesetting is godawful. Disproportionately huge paragraph indents that actually make the pages difficult to read.
It's a damn shame, because the story itself is quite funny (yes, T.J. Hooker does cling to the hood of a speeding vehicle). With a good polish it could be a minor cult jewel. Instead, the reader spends a lot of time deciphering the sentences before being able to read them. It reminds me of when I used to try to watch A Bit of Fry and Laurie on Bravo, scrambled (it was on the next cable tier up, and we didn't subscribe). "I bet that would have been really funny," I would think, "if I had actually seen it."
All that said, as satires of sci-fi fandom go, still a better read than Lee Goldberg's dire Beyond the Beyond. And the jacket painting is pretty awesome.

Why the original "Star Trek" still matters
"A person interested in those things was, prima facie, not interested in Donny Osmond or "Happy Days," had conceivably read a book not required by teachers and furthermore could plausibly have access to decent weed."

Product Description
It's Shatner VS Shatners!
It's the first ShatnerCon with William Shatner as the guest of honor! But after a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians, a crazy terrorist cult that worships Bruce Campbell, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner.
Featuring: Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, Denny Crane, Rescue 911 Shatner, Singer Shatner, Shakespearean Shatner, Twilight Zone Shatner, Cartoon Kirk, Esperanto Shatner, Priceline Shatner, SNL Shatner, and - of course - William Shatner!
No costumed con-goer will be spared in their wave of destruction, no redshirt will make it out alive, and not even the Klingons will be able to stand up to a deranged Captain Kirk with a lightsaber. But these Shatner-clones are about to learn a hard lesson...that the real William Shatner doesn't take crap from anybody. Not even himself.
It's Shatnertastic!
(It's also on betterworldbooks and bookdepository.co.uk, if you prefer.)

Quark is coming to DVD. I remember it very, very well -- and yet I'm still excited.
