Christopher Lee At 'BIFFF' - Xoanon @ 13:54 PST
From Guybrush Threepwood:

I attented a screening of Dagon (adapted from Lovecraft), yesterday at the BIFFF (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival), Christopher Lee was there.

Let me tell you it is the first time I've seen a standing ovation at the BIFFF. It's also the first time the public listens so quietly and almost religiously to someone. He made a very long speech (in perfect french) in which he spoke about his joy of being part of the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars trilogies.

He told he was happy because being an actor allowed him to meet extraordinary people (including PJ) and told us how bitter he was because one of the best movies (according to him) in wich he acted had been nearly censored. This movie is called Jinnah, and it's the story of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. According to IMBD, "Christopher Lee gives probably the best performance of his life" in that movie... So, if you want to please him, go and buy the movie.

Finally, he clearly said he was fed up with always being remembered as Dracula, since he acted in these Hammer movies 30 years ago and has made plenty of others since then...
