It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man

[sovay]

I just learned that Christopher Lee has died.

The jackhammers came back this morning; I am desperately tired.

I wish I had a copy of Hammer's Dracula (1958). Or the 99-minute cut of The Wicker Man (1973).

[edit] Wait, what the hell, Ron Moody also died? What am I supposed to do now, double-feature the British occult with The Twelve Chairs (1970)? Why do I always think he had something to do with Carol Reed's A Kid for Two Farthings (1955) when he didn't? Dammit, I only ever saw him in two movies and I miss him. I cannot recommend having the soundtracks to The Wicker Man and Oliver! running in your head simultaneously.

That was a major bummer, but the obits kind of cheered me up in a weird way, because my God, if he didn't have a full life, nobody has. But still, very sad.

Agreed! Neither of them died untimely. I'm just sorry somehow, anyway. I liked knowing they were in the world.
