Shatnering (Verb): to overact.

Montreal's native son:

^he is indeed from Montreal. I am quite sure his contortions came about after being exposed to this

Funny enough Clockzilla has a Shatneresque flamboyance about it. Captain Kirk could be substituted into any of these:

I truly hope Clockzilla can vanquish the orange shitgibbon once and for all.

Hopefully. That would be the one redeeming moment of 2020.

Bizarre. The greek acropolis house and the Vaughn Mcmansion are worse though.

Obviously, a product of the restricted agricultural zone where only the most dedicated intensive farmers, salt of the earth, could afford such luxuries.

Yeah... that's awful.

In Burlington. It's a school of some sort. I've watched it being built over the past couple of years from scratch. I'm pretty sure the silo is concrete underneath. I assumed they would clad it with something nice and colourful. I was wrong. It's the same colour as what's underneath.

Well this is basically the finished product. Very depressing. I shouldn't be surprised that in this streetview there was already water stains despite being a new structure.

I wonder if it's all re-purposed material. Good idea, and probably a good school, but the outcome isn't too pretty.

Wouldn't call this ugly but not what I expect for an office. It gives a fortress vibe, complete with watchtower guard. Not exactly the most welcoming place to show up to everyday.

This is in Burlington.

Those both could serve as jails.

That bunker style was popular in the early 70s. It is soul-sucking as well as fugly. We have a lot of them here in London. Shitty service/retail mixture: nail salon, chiropractic clinic, hearing aid place, some mission/charity, maybe a sewing-machine repair depot.

Shatner is amazing but Nicolas Cage is even better.

ALVA? ALVA? ALVA?!?

And of course, my personal favorite, Deadfall.

Nic Cage is my favourite actor of all time. I paid tribute to Wicker Man with Mansard face being roasted in the Reno Depot parking lot.

I own two real plaster casts of actor’s faces. One is Shatner and the other is Cage. All I’m missing is Busey.
