It's all about Shatner, an hour and forty minutes of the 93-year-old, with a result that's more philosophical than funny (though humor certainly intercedes), covering his many jaunts and challenges and how such have colored his career (and our lives). That means <i>Star Trek </i>and Captain James T. Kirk distinguish the grand remembrance (how could they not?), but with Shatner's sidebar triumphs also haunting our collective consciousness: <i>T.J. Hooker</i>, <i>Boston Legal</i>, <i>The Practice</i>, <i>$#!@My Dad Says</i>, <i>The Twilight Zone </i>and <i>The Outer Limits</i>, not to mention a coveted-and-achieved, space-shuttle sojourn.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQCXIabcV16UiFJavpaD3XkmaYekDaeX88JYHTW8jf_jNyfXGGQF4igm97dbl5S7joUujKlgfHdQ8G512rjJHmG2JoKrEkzbQ3Ebtjay7PbHpJdRNgahRMZ17ZfXxZ0NLxAE00iA0aNYCHIYm3HLiFO1HyXCbU3ASC-bhVa0E5QwfY2ksQX3E190mRJGU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="770" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQCXIabcV16UiFJavpaD3XkmaYekDaeX88JYHTW8jf_jNyfXGGQF4igm97dbl5S7joUujKlgfHdQ8G512rjJHmG2JoKrEkzbQ3Ebtjay7PbHpJdRNgahRMZ17ZfXxZ0NLxAE00iA0aNYCHIYm3HLiFO1HyXCbU3ASC-bhVa0E5QwfY2ksQX3E190mRJGU=w400-h244" width="400" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWxUWHjqB77yaTMffvXDz5fnU_tlPiM_BOJ3fPz3GwkSeLBUP6VfCTLI854ILc0uthLjRPFR9S9qUpb5yTaZBXG9Vr22chWUqZZkGYJ5_RRT1K4R1wG4SrdTM1fNhzOAGpvhJb1I8aDix8jfuUyrBuh36dIfyvNuW3x2pJ3GWRF2b8UL1ybSb4FDMiw0U" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="210" data-original-width="375" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWxUWHjqB77yaTMffvXDz5fnU_tlPiM_BOJ3fPz3GwkSeLBUP6VfCTLI854ILc0uthLjRPFR9S9qUpb5yTaZBXG9Vr22chWUqZZkGYJ5_RRT1K4R1wG4SrdTM1fNhzOAGpvhJb1I8aDix8jfuUyrBuh36dIfyvNuW3x2pJ3GWRF2b8UL1ybSb4FDMiw0U=w400-h224" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Shatner's dual role in Jose Briz Mendez's underrated <i>White Comanche</i> is even acknowledged (a clever tit-for-tat that holds its own with <i>Trek</i>'s "The Enemy Within" and "Turnabout Intruder"). This inclusion, in itself, furthers <i>You Can Call Me Bill</i>'s thorough slant, but it's Shatner's heartfelt reminiscing (with worthy bit after worthy bit, stretching from his youth through his senior years, from times of impoverishment to the well-deserved comebacks) that enlivens Phillipe's expedition. Here we get the still-virile Shatner in a frank, no-frills context, poised under the hot lights, as we, the audience, witness his soulful reveal. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFIbAeogP5SD1lfYe4b5RryGd-hkcmSQ3tYCtK2Hx7Y5sz-RYxZlY5a_kIdn03cK6CNw64vL4n2j7oL7wPtM-AtV6Ij-8ekcjJhumnchlAh-8atqnhQSYgq8SM6lprRWRfVtJQBnFuuWZ2UxnPPSUnbSVb5m2VAvWlvzCArkavnCsGdSdBA-JrEQnBItc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1120" data-original-width="1032" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFIbAeogP5SD1lfYe4b5RryGd-hkcmSQ3tYCtK2Hx7Y5sz-RYxZlY5a_kIdn03cK6CNw64vL4n2j7oL7wPtM-AtV6Ij-8ekcjJhumnchlAh-8atqnhQSYgq8SM6lprRWRfVtJQBnFuuWZ2UxnPPSUnbSVb5m2VAvWlvzCArkavnCsGdSdBA-JrEQnBItc=w368-h400" width="368" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The content comprises what few actors could hope to gain, but as <i>You Can Call Me Bill</i> implies, Shatner isn't like most actors.

He's relevant, persuasive and beloved, even by those who may have cause not to admire him (pardon the paradox). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg7oTVJNyjmh1sDscOPDhGbrQvwIWOnQxVoalidY4yZTrnX5Rhir_8L3XQAc6cBqaPNF7jLHGKdwSIwXkqgr3QZwjnrv-yTbvG458ulG83DevyzO7GfQPNZfHr-C_L8u96cww_6TN2CWbVYSYd0duiqT1rLPf0OHxWq7D8AI606cqUJnC3Qa1i-VZwXlaY" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg7oTVJNyjmh1sDscOPDhGbrQvwIWOnQxVoalidY4yZTrnX5Rhir_8L3XQAc6cBqaPNF7jLHGKdwSIwXkqgr3QZwjnrv-yTbvG458ulG83DevyzO7GfQPNZfHr-C_L8u96cww_6TN2CWbVYSYd0duiqT1rLPf0OHxWq7D8AI606cqUJnC3Qa1i-VZwXlaY=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As a lifelong, Shatner fan, I appreciate Phillipe's sincere staging, for it summons the best from the best.
