Distinguishes between films made for a theatrical experience and movies made for television by assessing the performance of the actors in a non-qualitative but descriptive manner. Originates from the distinctive acting style of the inimitable William Shatner.

The height of unnecessary ridiculous; the proverbial cherry on top of the Unnecessary Cake.
This comes from William Shatner's famous Spoken Word version of Elton John's "Rocket Man", where he performs the song as three different Shatner personalities, the last of which is the "Party Shatner".
