Your Name Is Jim

30s. TOS Kirk/Spock, Old Married K/S, Star Trek in general, old content with Leonard Nimoy & William Shatner together. I'm just here to have fun, I'm not interested in actor discourses or ship wars.

Imagine being just some guy who writes movie soundtracks nobody cares about, and one day they ask you to compose the music for a movie called “Star Trek II”. You don’t even watch TV so you don’t know the series and the first movie didn’t impress you, but a job is a job so that’s fine I guess. Imagine reading the script and thinking “okay, everything else will be obvious in the visuals so I’m going to do the entire soundtrack about the relationship between Kirk and Spock, Idk it looks like a good idea”, and then the movie is a success and everyone loves Kirk and Spock’s affection for each other and you think “well I guess I was right” and they ask you to work on the sequel that is even more focused on them, and you get popular for your work and you do a lot of things and 15 years later you become super famous as the guy who did the music for Titanic (which is, coincidentally, a movie taking place inside a ship focused on two people who love each other and when the ship is in danger one of them dies… just a coincidence, of course)

Paul Tobin over at Bluesky, who found this outtake image, says, "it does, like, 97% of the work for the Kirk / Spock shippers."

Not sure I'd argue. :)

I'm not the first, and with out a doubt not the last, but I edited Amanda and Sarek into a bunch of vintage paintings/illustrations your welcome. (I made way too many but whatever lol)

The Whitman's add is my favorite but I think all of them turned out pretty okay.

Garry Marshall was filming the Michelle Pfeiffer/Al Pacino romance Frankie and Johnny in the same studio as Star Trek VI. He decided to take advantage of this fact when a key shot relied on Al Pacino’s complete surprise upon opening a door and seeing who was on the other side. Marshall asked Nicholas Meyer if he could borrow his two leads for a few minutes and had them waiting on the other side of the door, in full costume.

Pacino, of course, delivered.

BEHIND THE SCREENS

Enterprising ‘lovebirds’ stop Al Pacino dead in his tracks!

SEX: THE FINAL FRONTIER! Filming a scene from the new movie “Frankie and Johnny,” Al Pacino was supposed to catch screen girlfriend Michelle Pfeiffer making love to another guy – but when he burst through the bedroom door, he found CAPTAIN KIRK and MR. SPOCK locked in a mock embrace!! Pacino’s eyes popped out as if he’d been stunned by a phaser when William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy – dressed in their Enterprise uniforms – said together: “OOPS! BEAM US UP, SCOTTY, I THINK WE’RE ON THE WRONG SET!”. As cast and crew guffawed, Pacino realized that it was a gag and began laughing so hysterically he almost collapsed! Shatner and Nimoy, who had been shooting “Star Trek VI” on a nearby soundstage, were talked into the prank by “Frankie” director Garry Marshall.
