buttheadsmate Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 "How we deal with death is at least important as how we deal with life,wouldn't you say".....James T. Kirk (Star Trek II Wrath of Khan) Seems to be a day for it....well for me it's been a few weeks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Last week I got an e-mail from DST thanking me for participating in one of their Q&As and asking for my shipping info so they could send me a free gift. Before I left for work today, a colleague e-mailed me with the news that Ricardo Montalban had passed away. You can imagine my reaction when I got home, opened the package that had arrived from DST, and found a battle-damaged Khan figure from Star Trek II. Not only is it my favorite Trek film but it was great to see Mr. Montalban reprise his role after all those years. Receiving this figure on the day of his passing will give it even more sentimental value. I think I'll pop in a DVD now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Damn, this sucks. One time I went to a screening of Wrath of Khan with director Nicholas Meyer in attendance. Afterward he took questions from the audience. One guy asked what it was like working with, and I quote, "two of the biggest hams in acting - Shatner and Montalban". Well I wish I had Meyer's response on tape, because he tore the guy a new one. He staunchly defended Montalban's acting chops, and listed off a bunch of movies/ random TV episodes in which he had kicked ass - Fantasy Island not included, naturally. He will be missed.

luke314pi Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I recently watched the original Space Seed episode for the first time, and was impressed with how Kahn's character evolved from that classic episode to the 2nd movie. He was a great actor, and he will definitely be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
