I don't know if he's a werewolf, but his hair is perfect -

You know what, I'm just going to plough right on and post things even though I'm still on page one and I'm going to look even more stupid. Christopher Lee did several Hammer horror films with his best friend Peter Cushing, another old school screen legend. Some of the Hammer films were terrific (Lee's first outing as. Dracula especially) but there was some dross. In one they were doing a version of the Mummy, and Lee said "This is terrible, I'm just done up in bandages, I don't get to say anything." You're the lucky one," said Cushing," Have you seen the script?" -

Sorry if already mentioned, but the incomparable Christopher Lee is credited with vocals on at least one European thrash metal album. He also served in special forces in World War 2, including pretty hardcore missions behind enemy lines. In the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson was directing him in a stabbing scene and said "I want you to imagine the sound of a knife cutting into a human body." Christopher Lee said "I don't have to." "Don't have to what?" asked Jackson. "Imagine," Lee replied. -
If anyone fancies something British and utterly baffling, I recommend Athletico Mince

That would be an ecumenical matter

Same universe as the goblin truck in Maximum Overdrive?

Episode 172 - The Last Dragon: LIVE!

In the world of this film Vanity is an extremely desirable woman who is looking for a relationship, but there are no available men. Even when she essentially makes herself available to the entire city by offering a date with her as a competition prize, the only people in the whole of NYC showing an interest are Leroy's little brother and other twelve-year-olds. She instantly goes for Leroy and makes huge efforts to get with him, even though he dresses and acts like the village idiot, because he's literally the only available male over the age of consent. Her frustration when she throws herself at Leroy and he runs away suggests she hasn't had sex in a very long time. I'm surprised she didn't give one of the kidnappers her phone number. I also have a theory that this film is a bizarre extension of the Sucker Punch universe where each of the characters is undergoing a shared delusion in Berry Gordy's nightclub. Eddie Arkadian and his crew seem to think they are characters in a 30s gangster movie and just adapt their psychosis to the whole music scene environment they find themselves in, Leroy thinks he's a character in a Bruce Lee film, Sho'nuff thinks he's in a gang film, and Leroy's brother is a child who thinks he's an adult (and a pimp). Berry Gordy is some sort of all-powerful, unseen psychiatric puppet master applying shock treatment to various disturbed people. -
Oh hello Vanity

Dozens of writing credits. In the UK, heavy advertising rotation for the film on the sides of buses. Five star reviews from shit newspapers -

This could have been a great product placement opportunity for Tupperware. They could have cleaned up with the obviously untapped cocaine smuggling market with their handy resealable containers designed to keep the contents safe and fresh. -

OK, so according to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, "Miami Connection" was screened at the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL? Can this be true? Because if so, my mind is blown and whoever pulled that off deserves a feckin medal

If I went round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint threw a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

The Movie Timecop also bears a slight resemblance to the 1993-1994 TV series Time Trax, in which a cop from the future comes back in time to catch fugitives. Although with all this jumping around in time it's hard to say who was first

I don't have anything to add to the episode, I just wanted to share the fact that when I produce a document at work that I need to discuss with colleagues, I don't ask for feedback or suggested changes, I ask for Corrections and Omissions

I know Cam would disapprove but a Goldblum masturbation story would be entertaining. "Oh yes, 'ooh, aah' that's how it starts. But after that it's running - and screaming..."
