05.13.09 NEW SPOCK SUCKS AT FINGERING
It appears new Spock Zachary Quinto is bad at something besides styling his hair. Word is he couldn’t do the Vulcan salute, so they had to glue his fingers together.
Quinto, 31, admitted he found it impossible to form his fingers into the distinctive V-shaped gesture, saying: “It’s much harder than it looks. Seriously.”
One on-set insider said: “Zach could do the salute some of the time but only after he’d positioned his fingers the right way off-camera.
“In some scenes he has to do the salute while speaking his lines so they ended up using skin-protective superglue, like they use in hospitals, to stick his fingers together.”
William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the long-running TV show and the first seven Star Trek films, was also unable to do the salute, so he used fishing line to tie his fingers together. [news.com.au]
Admit it, you’re doing the finger thing right now aren’t you. Yeah, I can do it too. God we’re cool. Look, I can roll my tongue too. Anyway, this is nothing to be ashamed of. Hollywood is full of stories like this. Like on the set of the first Matrix, how they put peanut butter on the roof of Keanu’s mouth to make his lips move. True story.

NEW SPOCK SUCKS AT FINGERING
After they finished the scenes, producers made a construction worker hang from Quinto’s fingers.
*prays some of the old fucks here will get that one*
I can suck my own dick! ok, i can’t really put it in my mouth, but i can lick the salty stuff from the tip, so that counts, right?
To make up for it, Quinto gets his fingers into lots of positions you or I would be unable (or unwilling) to.
He also finds it impossible to form ‘The Shocker’ formation.
I can rub my belly and jack my doogan at the same time. Hell, I can even switch directions simultaneously.
It also took two months to get him to stop saying, “Live long and check your oil.”
Chris Pine is auditioning for the part of Mongo in the Blazing Saddles remake.
Look, he’s still in character! He’s so method it’s scary.
Leonard Nimoy’s starting to look like the guy that drives the ice cream truck around my neighborhood.
There was a 3 day delay in filming after Ashton Kutcher punked Quinto by telling him there was a piece of dirt on his cheek.
Quinto has just realized he’s looking at the Ghost of Christmas Future in the studio monitor…
Quinto demanded that the glue be applied through a hole in the bathroom stall.
You think that’s bad? Did you see how loosely that beard stuck to his face in the transporter room near the end of the film?
Leonard Nimoy presents: In Search Of… A Dignified Death.
OK, but can he do that other thing wiff his fingers that New Captain Kirk likes? Y’know. . . two fisted metal devil horns.
Crew members found it odd that Quinto also asked that the glue be sprayed all over his face and into his ass crack.
That’s nothing? What about all those times they had to pump Chris Pine’s stomach for that scene where he “drank like an Iowan”???
Is Nimoy sneaking up on these little fuckers to deliver the double Vulcan neck pinch? That would rock!
Imagine what you could do to them when they are passed out!Is Chris Pine still in character? Because I don’t remember Captain Kirk doing that many bong hits.
Pssst … new up!
I never get to do that!!
I’d like to see how well Quinto does at the fingering. But I’m still doubting I”m his type (as in I don’t have a penis)
Dude, Kirk’s an Iowa boy. He’s growing the shit.
