If I was in his shoes I wouldnt have gone.  to do so makes it something else that may not be what the family wants.  it shouldnt be a trek funeral after all.

Seems to me Shatner was in a tough spot - he leaves the charity in the lurch and looks bad, or he misses the funeral and looks bad. Some folks just can't see the good I suppose.

I'm not always a Shatner fan, but he should get a pass on missing the funeral. Nimoy, of all people, would understand that he was doing a charity event and should keep his commitment to that.

Neat, some are going and turning one of our older Prime Ministers (Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on the $5 bill) into Spock   :)

Yeah, "Spocking" has become somewhat of a trend these days.

I second all all of this.  While I think Shatner's an arrogant, self-entitled ass, he doesn't deserve the flak he's been getting for missing the funeral (his flight to LA landed a couple hours too late for him to make it).  Everyone knows they were close friends; there's no way Nimoy would've held it against him for not being able to be there, given the circumstances.

Heh; cool.

Completely agree. Plus people seem to forget that Shatner himself is 83  years old now.

I just watched through this In Search Of episode on the Amityville Horror and while it clocks in at only 20:00 I think it's better than the original movie, by a lot...it's quite unnerving!
