why is it so fucking cold? it's so cold that the usual blanket of fur coat doesn't even work right. christopher lee was born today. sometimes i forget how much i like him. dracula, king haggard, count dooku, saruman, take your pick, christopher lee is my hero. i'm trying to figure out why nobody wrote a song about him. i reserched him and bela lugosi, trying to make a comparative analysis and found out some interesting facts about both:
Lee:
-was friends with J.R.R.Tolkien
-is so versed on the lore of middle earth that people on the set of LOTR often consulted him.
-has starred in over 200 movies usually typecasted as the villain
-alive
Lugosi
-actually comes from eastern europe and they used his original accent in dracula
-starred almost exclusivly in horror movies, many of which used his name just to get people into the theater no matter if the movie sucked or not
-died in his seventies despite a drug addiction (morphine)
-dead
these are just a few facts and i couldn't really compare the two as well as i like to. the only reason i tried was because they both starred as dracula, but i'll always think the best dracula is gary oldman. as much as i hate to admit it i'd watch any christopher lee movie (with the exception of james bond) before any hammer horror movie starring lugosi. i guess people only write songs about dead drug addict under achieving tools and not successful gemini actors. go figure.
