William Shatner Hates 80! Actor William Shatner Was Dreading Landmark Birthday

William ShatnerWILLIAM Shatner was dreading turning 80.

The actor — who’s celebrating the big day today, March 22 — has called the landmark age “monstrous”.

“It’s monstrous,” he said. “Horrible and terrible fall short of describing it.”

Shatner recently revealed he wants a role in the next Star Trek movie.

William — who played the role of Captain James T Kirk in Star Trek for 19 years — said that, just as his original costar Leonard Nimoy had made an appearance in JJ Abrams‘ 2009 Star Trek revamp, he would also be pleased to have a role in the sequel to the movie.

“I’d be delighted,” he said.

    Happy Birthday Captain Kirk – Here’s A Warp Drive

    By Stan Stevnor

    William Shatner got an unusual and unexpected surprise for his 80th birthday. In the Forum section of his web site a post appeared from MarshallBarnes that said “Happy Birthday, Capt. Kirk”. The body of the post explains that after much research and effort, a warp drive prototype will be revealed to the world and that when they’re ready for the first test with a space probe, they’ll let Shatner fly the thing out of Earth orbit via remote control. http://bit.ly/f3oe16

    Though it may sound like an early April Fool’s joke, it’s not. MarshallBarnes is none other than THE Marshall Barnes, who has been credited for really developing a prototype for warp drive that has been seen by a number of scientists and others, including Ike Mgbatogu, reporter for Don King’s Call & Post newspaper, accelerating things faster than they can go under their own power. Since February, he has been aggressively beginning to promote the reality of his invention, the STDTS. A video of it accelerating a target object faster than the speed of gravity during a test dead drop, was even shown at the USA Science and Engineering Festival where NASA Kepler Mission scientist Alan Gould saw it. He was impressed enough to give Marshall his card and allow his name to be used as someone who witnessed it.

    The post on Shatner’s web site includes excerpts from an upcoming science paper that deals with the issue of warp drive physics and explains where and how it went wrong – resulting in calculations that require tremendous amounts of exotic matter and negative energy. The solution, Marshall found was where no one was looking – Einstein’s unfinished Unified Field Theory. He produces documentation to prove it as well.

    The note closed with, “When we’re ready, we’ll invite you to fly the probe out of the Earth’s gravitational field (via remote control of course) to guide it boldly where no man has gone before, and hopefully reaching the speed of light and beyond!

    ‘Til then – Live Long and Prosper,
    Barnes out…”

    Happy Birthday, Bill.
    I have enjoyed your talent ever since the Saturday morning animated Star Trek series on NBC (I was born about 2 months after Star Trek aired on NBC in 1967). Where alot of the boys I hung out with wanted to be Batman, Superman, Spiderman, et cetera, I wanted to be Capt Kirk.
    I thank you for the countless times that I’ve opened one of your books and entered into your creative mind. You’re a brilliant author and a spectacular actor.
    Once again, thank you.
    To paraphase Spock:
    I have been, and always shall be, your fan. Live long and prosper.

    PS I really hope to see you in the next Star Trek movie.

    I live in Stratford, Ontario and have been a big fan for many years. Saw you in person twice here in Stratford and many years ago in Rochester, Michigan. You are the best in the business and appreciate your art and craft, energy as well. Best of luck on your 80th Birthday. Beth
