Shatner Reads “Where The Wild Things Are”

Shatner Reads “Where The Wild Things Are”

June 5, 2013 By Mike Hickerson 2 Comments

Captain Kirk wants to encourage children of all ages to share his love of reading.

During an appearance at the recent Denver ComicCon, veteran actor William Shatner took a moment to read from the classic children’s book, Where The Wild Things Are. Shatner read the book to a group of gathered young people and MTV was there to film it and share video.

    Saw more of his appearance on another site and WOW he is horrible and really has no idea what he is talking about and doesn’t know how to talk to kids. I would bet he didn’t even prepare for this and just winged it. Sad.

    And to think he had to stop reading part way to tell us he was reading. Like they were all just wandering around wondering what this strange man was doing and he needed to remind them.

    To quote another space commander, “You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.”

      I hope you can do better at 82. I just recently, about two months ago, saw Bill do his one man show LIVE on stage and he was fabulous. He went 90 straight minutes no flops, flubs or mishaps. The whole time I was thinking, this guy is 18 yrs older than me & I’m not sure I could keep up that pace or remember my queues like he did that night. Perhaps he was tired that day after shooting 12hrs of Priceline commercials, or perhaps he had a tad too much wine during his Brown Bag Wine Tasting shoots before the reading. They do about 5 or 6 of those shoots each day of filming and that is a lot of wine tasting. He’s 82, cut’em some slack Patrick – we’re talking about the SHAT for god sake!
