How would you spend your 92nd birthday? Would you record a heavy metal album? Well, that’s what Christopher Lee did. This year, he’s created an album of covers of various songs in a heavy metal style as a tribute to Miguel de Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote. It’s called “Metal Knight.”

When he did a guest host appearance on SNL years ago, he did one of the best opening monologues......

That's what I read. Lee was younger than Cushing and was pretty hard hit when he died.
LOL! I remember watching that when I was a kid back then.
Back when SNL used to be funny.
“Christopher Lee - Peter Cushing - Hammer Films”
The best. I understand they were very good buds.
Freegards
LOL at Belushi as “The Thing That Wouldn’t Leave.”
I had no idea, thank you much FRiend!

You mean “Saruman”. Christopher Lee did not supply the voice of Sauron.

Christopher Lee Talks about Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.
I wouldn't record one NOW (at 30). I listened to my cousin play the drums a couple years ago and my ear felt weird for 2 days. Nice to see the old man is staying active.
You’re welcome.
CHI forces a game 7; should be a FANTASTIC game.
I’ll have to stock up on Twinkies and butts.
They just don’t make them like Mr Lee anymore. Or is that Sir Christopher?
Go ‘Hawks!
Yes!!!
WAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Raul Julia’s last movie. If you can find it, he did an HBO flick back in the 1980’s called “Florida Straights” - good stuff.
Lousy movie, Streetfighter, but great performance from Julia, chewing the scenery with gusto and making the peice of crap worth watching. Supposedly he knew he was dying and did the movie for his kids, who loved the Streetfighter video games.

“Florida Straits” appears to be on you tube in it’s entirety, I’ll check it out.
