Bootsy Defined
According to the Urban Dictionary, something is "bootsy" if it's particularly horrible or wretched.

As in, William Shatner thinks it's an absolutely bootsy decision to not have him be part of the next Star Trek flick. As you may have heard, JJ Abrams is directing a a new movie about the Starship Enterprise that is going to take a look back at the original crew's origins. So there are young actors playing the roles of Kirk, Spock, Scottie, etc. However, Nimoy (who played Spock) will be showing up in the movie as well, and this is what has the Shat's panties in a bunch:

"I couldn't believe it. I'm not in the movie at all. Leonard [Nimoy], God bless his heart, is in, but not me," Shatner, 76, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I thought, what a decision to make, since it obviously is a decision not to make use of the popularity I have to ensure the movie has good box office. It didn't seem to be a wise business decision."
Wow. Shatner is so high on himself that he thinks his "popularity" will ensure that the film has a good box office? Really? So what explains the relatively disappointing gross for Miss Congeniality 2, Shatner? Sure, $48 million isn't bootsy, but it was less than half the domestic pulled in by the original. Oh wait, I got it! The sequel didn't have enough of you in it, right?

Right.

Um, I don't think Miss Congeniality was a Star Trek picture.

I Agree, Miss Congeniality isn't a wildy successful franchise that is still going strong after forty plus years. Shatner and Nimoy are Star Trek, I know this and I'm not really much of a fan either way.
