It's My Movie

This one started out during a William Shatner bashing joke session.  They talked about how badly directed Star Trek 5 was.  One of the people there kept saying that he must have been thinking that it was his life's ambition.  Thus, an idea was born.  Shirley took it and ran with it, but didn't realize until she was done that she had combined two songs (even though both songs were related).  So, it gave for a unique filk song.

It's My Movie

By Shirley Dean

It is rumored that these words were said many times

on the set of Star Trek 5 by a certain actor...

(chorus) It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition,

STTMP was so boring

then we did Trek 2,

sudenly we were a hit,

what more could we do?

It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition,

Then they gave the job to Leonard,

he was dead and didn’t have much to do,

so they gave him 4 as well

and that was when I had to yell.

It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition,

Harve said I could direct a movie

any old way I choose.

So I said well I’m a star now

I don’t care how much money you lose.

It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition,

Leonard thought that he was such a smarty

Getting to direct two films

I just said that I’ll show him

that he was over the hill.

It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition,

Knowing that I could direct a movie,

I did a very clever thing.

I took everything I learned in Drama 101

and applied it to the Silver Screen

It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition,

The critics said that 5 was really lousy

I just don’t understand why.

They must have really had it out for me.

I tell you, its a great big lie!

It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition,

They said won’t be a seventh movie,

Gee, I don’t know why.

I’m more than willing and ready

to give it one more try.

It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,

direct if I want to, direct if I want to,

More than a five year mission,

it’s my life’s ambition.
