One of Lee's ancestors on that side was the Papal Secretary of State who refused to attend the coronation of Napoleon and is buried in the Pantheon in Rome next to Raphael (the painter not the ninja turtle), which seems like kind of a big deal.
Heh.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From Peter Jackson’s DVD commentary: “When I was shooting the stabbing shot with Christopher, as a director would, I was explaining to him what he should do… And he says, ‘Peter, have you ever heard the sound a man makes when he’s stabbed in the back?’ And I said, 'Um, no.’ And he says 'Well, I have, and I know what to do.’”

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Aw, so sad to hear that. But he was vital and kept on doing what he loved right up to the end, so a pretty good run overall.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Amazing man. Amazing life.

RIP Christopher Lee. The first movie I remember seeing him in was Dracula: Prince of Darkness. It was a double feature with The Plague of the Zombies (both Hammer Films.) I remember watching them from the balcony of the Oriental Theater in Milwaukee. That was 1966 and I was 8 years old. Ah, the old days: two movies with cartoons between them. ::nostalgic::

He was one of those people I really thought would live forever.

Fox Animation Nabs 'Nimona' Adaptation With 'Feast' Director (Exclusive)
I just squeed!
eta:
In a competitive situation, Fox Animation has landed the rights to Nimona, the New York Times best-selling graphic novel by Noelle Stevenson, for an adaptation to be directed by Patrick Osborne, the helmer behind the Oscar-winning animated short Feast.
"A competitive situation" - I've always thought Nimona would make a great animated film and was wondering why I'd never heard anything on this subject. I guess Noelle Stevenson's been busy behind the scenes.

I think I would prefer it as live-action instead of animation, though.

I was thinking it'd be too... cartoony for live-action. But I can't really explain it better.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Noelle Stevenson is KILLING IT between this and the Lumberjanes movie.
