Poor, naive succubus… As women all over the known universe could have told her, she never stood a chance.

You know, people all over the world make fun of his acting style, but in his prime William Shatner was a damned charming bastard.

Good lord, look at that picture of James Doohan, I guess they don’t have physicals in his local police force.

Sheriffs are elected, m’boy! You could have a blind quadriplegic sheriff if he gets enough votes.

There exists a version of Incubus with a commentary track… it claims that Leslie Stevens insisted on speaking Esperanto when directing the actors, so they were constantly confused. It also says Milos Milos was a scary dude who nobody really knew anything about and everyone avoided. He came to a bad end.
The film has a certain charm and atmosphere, but it’s really pretty darn lightweight.

In Esperanto, the Shatnerian rolling delivery actually makes the dialogue sound… conversational. He did better than most at making it sound like he really speaks the language.

That’s because, as I have noted before, he’s just a damned charming bastard.
