ub3r_n3rd Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Ah, OK. General Fantasy is not the place I would have expected for it. *shrugs* yeah, I'd have put it in off-topic as well, maybe the mods will decide to move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He was apparently proudest of the original "The Wicker Man." He felt that his performance as Lord Summerisle was his finest... which I find kind of surprising. Summerisle's NOT the star of the show, and his performance, all things considered, is remarkably restrained.Then again, I understand he fought like a wildcat to get the movie made in the first place... and if you walk into it without knowing the twist, it's a stunning film. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werkrobotwerk Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I am not yet ready to accept that he is not just engaged in a protracted sword fight with the grim reaper. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarsemina Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 R.I.P Christopher Lee, so sad.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sounds like a good reason to binge watch a bunch of great movies...RIP Sir Christopher Lee. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 A long life, a respectable age. He was and still is one of my heroes, Dracula, Saruman, Metal "Singer" , what a great man. This fails to mention his knighthood, which is rather impressive, too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniaddict Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Very sad indeed. His contributions to King and Country as well as the acting world will not be surpassed by any of today's "top" actors 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruunwald Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 They were pals. And they were us. Cushing collected and painted and played with army men, and Lee loved fantasy - especially Tolkien. Vincent Price was a patron of the arts and of arts & crafts. There was no word for "nerd" when they did it. I love those guys. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Here's his last Video Message from December 2013, you can tell he wasn't doing well at that time, but it's very fitting in here as he thanks everyone for his great life. https://youtu.be/_G7NVnoiMV4 Edited June 11, 2015 by ub3r_n3rd 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loim Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Such a really amazing actor. In the many years after I finally figured out who he was I still find myself re-watching a movie I haven't seen in a long time and going, "Holy cats! That's Christopher Lee." Now I want to go back and watch the Dracula movies. Who wants to come binge watch them with me? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Damn... I came on here to post about Dusty Rhodes passing away and found this... I'm officially writing this day off as a day from hell and refusing to acknowledge it's existence. I want to be half of Christopher Lee when I grow up. People like him make me look back on my life and wonder just what the hell I've been doing with it all these years. Here's to a legendary life lived by a legendary man.
