Ricardo Montalban passed today at 88.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-14-2009 06:15 PM                        I was wondering when this was going to happen. Star Trek 2 was by far the best, largely due to his character. Have a link?  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-14-2009 06:22 PM                     Link  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-14-2009 06:58 PM                        I wonder if his coffin will be lined with rich Corinthian leather? I hope no one has posted this I started to post this at 5:00pm but had to run to the booth for some stuff!  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-14-2009 10:34 PM                        Ricardo Montalban was classy in all his work. He recently did the voice of a classy cow on The Simpsons.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-14-2009 11:01 PM                       I agree with Joe. Montalban carried ST2.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 01-14-2009 11:06 PM                     Khan! Actually the Cow was for Family Guy instead of the Simpsons.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-14-2009 11:47 PM                        Aw crap, I stand corrected! KHAN!!! Yes Ricardo Montalban carried ST-II and arguably he kept the ST franchise alive for all the subsequent movies etc. He better get a proper sendoff at the next Oscars, and not get shafted like DeForest Kelly did when he passed. Did they mention James Doohan either? I don't think so.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-15-2009 12:14 AM                  Everytime I see any of his works, I always think of the Chrysler Cordoba... RIP KHAN.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-15-2009 05:25 AM                     quote: David Stambaugh He better get a proper sendoff at the next Oscars, and not get shafted like DeForest Kelly did when he passed. Did they mention James Doohan either? I don't think so. They're remember him. Because his career was so long, including Technicolor MGM musicals with Esther Williams. I expect to see a clip from that era, and him as Khan. But they'll probably just show him in a white suit saying, "Smiles everyone, smiles!" He was great in the "Naked Gun" movie, too.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-15-2009 08:40 AM                     I don't think he will make this year's Awards as I think they do that back calandar year. I do recall a James Doohan tribute though I don't remember D-Kelly.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-15-2009 08:57 AM                        They mentioned Heath Ledger at last year's Oscars. Also, I would think they'd more likely use a Khan image than a Fantasy Island image, since Khan was an actual film role. BUt my bet is just on a screen of text that shows his name.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 01-15-2009 04:41 PM                  I think RM will make into to this year's Oscar show tribute and Patrick McGoohan as well. Seems we all agree that Montalban's performance as Khan was key in reviving the franchise. Of course he had that great Nicholas Meyer script. What was the line about Kirk "tasks" him and he will have him - chase around the moons of something and through perdition's flames? Great stuff. I am fighting the desire to watch it again due to the upcoming Blu-ray release.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-15-2009 05:10 PM                     I looked at the ad Phil posted, and that Cordoba is one ugly car. That was not a great period in American car design. But, Ricardo sure said "cor-DOH-buh" better than anyone else. I wish they had written "corinthian leather" into his role as Khan, though.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-15-2009 06:22 PM                  Yeah Mark, I agree, that's one ugly car. Here is the Core-DOH-bah of the future... I have it on good authority that Brad was recently seen driving around Dallas in one of those 1975 Cordoba's while wearing a long fur coat and a fedora hat with a feather...asking for directions...  |  IP: Logged
