RIP Christopher Lee
What a life. He's spilling the blood of Saxon Men in heaven now.
My favourite Christopher Lee story is the one about filming Sauroman's death (a scene that appears in the extended editions). After the Ents go banannas on Isengard, Gandalf and the others are trying to get Sauroman to come down from the tower. Wormtongue stabs Sauroman in the back and he falls to his death.
Apparently Peter Jackson wanted Christopher Lee to make a specific kind of noise when he was stabbed and Christopher Lee basically said "I know what that sounds like and it doesn't sound like that."
Badass.
he thought in the finnish-russian war. THE FINNISH RUSSIAN WAR.
didn't even know that was a thing. he thought in wars that barely existed in the public knowledge.
Your lack of historical knowledge is abhorrent. The Finnish-Russian War AKA the Winter War is interesting for a number of reasons.
First, it gave rise to
this fucking guy. Nuff said.
Second, it was a big embarrassment for the Russians who got beaten back despite massively outnumbering the Fins. The Russian Army looked like shit back then because all the high ranking officers had been purged by Stalin . But still, the Russian defeat in Finland encouraged Hitler to invade, believing the Soviet Union to be a paper tiger.
Third, Finland, an ally of the Nazis at the time, is the only democracy the United Kingdom has ever declared war on. But neither side fired a shot at the other.
Class dismissed, your assignment this week is to read a fucking book you fucking shitfuck.
