Hurrah! But don't call him Dracula, Niki - he's liable to turn severe. | ||

I can picture him striding towards 'Er Majesty in full Lord Summerisle/The Wicker Man-finale regalia ... though oddly it's James Bernard who provides the musical accompaniment. | ||

I can picture Her Majesty being intimidated by his mere presence. | ||

I was just going to post that Niki! Yes - hurrah, about time. I thought he had one already. | ||

Yes! Christopher Lee is great. I always love seeing him in a film. He brings such a powerful presence to it.  | ||

I saw him in a French film the other week. Crimson River 2, I think it was. Weirdly he'd been dubbed into English (as had the rest of the cast) but I don't think he did his own dubbing. Good for him, though. Sir Drac! Excellent. I think he was a student of MR James's too, wasn't he? Was mates with Dennis Wheatley. I think he must've known everyone worth knowing (except Captain Awesome, maybe) in his life... | ||

Delightful news! Hurrah! Watched "Horror of Dracula" (as we know it across the Pond) again recently some terrific sequences, esp. with Sir Christopher and James Bernard's music. There's terrific energy in that movie. | ||

Another one of those chucklesome moments where we can flick through the tabloids and read that 'Christopher Lee's most famous movies were Brides of Fu Manchu and Count Dracula, which he made in 1970' Obviously that Daily Express researcher was a fan of Jess Franco & Harry Alan Towers. Were it not for the Lord of the Rings films placed at number three in the list (below the two above) would we have seen Eugenie - the Story of Her Journey into Perversion listed? No idea what the other tabloids said as the lady at the table next to me in the coffee shop this morning had only bought that one. | ||

I've got Withnail already Mark - love it. I might go and get the paper and see if there is an article on it, anyway. |
