Dracula has been knighted. It is now Sir Christopher Lee!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Has the Queen of England lost her mind? Does she not watch movies? She just knighted a vampiric cultist Bond villain Sith Master evil wizard!



Okay, maybe she knows exactly what she's doing. That's fucking awesome. And about damn time.

I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Sir Christopher Lee on his knighthood and give you folks an opportunity to talk about how awesome Christopher Lee is. What's better, his turn in Man With The Golden Gun or The Return of Captain Invincible? My vote goes with Captain Invincible... any super-villain who uses booze to try to tempt his adversary is a winner in my book. Count Dracula or Lord Summerisle? Saruman or King Haggard? The closeted gay biker in SERIAL or the goofy German captain in 1941? Fu Manchu or Rochefort?

Go!
