It is strange how the death of someone we don't know personally can sometimes have the impact it has. When the news became known yesterday that Sir Christopher Lee has died last weekend, it shocked me, which is frankly a bit absurd when you're talking about someone who was 93 years old. Hell, I consider myself getting on in years but I haven't even reached his halfway point yet! But for some reason, my mind had apparently implied a base rule where he was supposed to live forever, or at least reach 100.
Anyway, this week's quiz can be about nobody else but Sir Christopher Lee,
for obvious reasons.
So once again I'm going to use twenty pictures of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. Yes, twenty. That may be a bit on the long-ish side, but then again, so was Sir Christopher Lee himself, and it DEFINITELY applies to his career. So click through the images, and guess which movies or shows they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb!
And I'll post the answers next Thursday, or earlier if someone gets all twenty of them right.
And here he is as Bond-baddie Scaramanga in The Man With The Golden Gun.
This picture isn't part of the quiz yet: for starters, the golden gun is a give-away , but we're also featuring this same picture as our Facebook cover-image for the next two days, so that would have been a tad TOO easy.
All other images count though. So please, browse through the gallery: click on the edge of the picture to get the next one, and see how many of them all you can identify!
And we begin, with quiz picture number one!
Quiz picture number three:
Quiz picture number four:
Quiz picture number five:
Quiz picture number seven:
Quiz picture number eight:
Quiz picture number nine:
Quiz picture number eleven:
Quiz picture number twelve:
Quiz picture number thirteen:
Quiz picture number fourteen:
Quiz picture number fifteen:
Quiz picture number sixteen:
Quiz picture number seventeen:
Quiz picture number eighteen:
Quiz picture number nineteen.
Note: I hate putting a shot with frigging light-sabers in a quiz where you have to identify the title (rest assured no offence to peoples' intelligence is implied...). But Sir Christopher Lee loved being in these, so it stays in!
Finally: quiz picture number twenty!
And with this friendly-looking shot, we bid this legend goodbye.
