Christopher Lee Talks Hobbit
Collecting The Precious – Vanderstelt Studios Update
And last but not least, some sad news:
Legendary sword master, Bob Anderson, dies
It's not surprising - he was 89 already - but it still makes me sad. Bob Anderson is someone I would have loved to meet/seen at a convention panel. I've always loved sword fights - realistically choreographed ones as in LotR, not the cr*p they had in Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief for example - and he has worked on so many projects! It wasn't meant to be. But this reminds me I still need to get Reclaiming the Blade... Goodbye, Mr. Anderson, and thank you for all the enjoyment you've given us over the long years of your career.

I enjoyed hearing about what hes been doing and I'm glad he's still working at the grand age of 89!
Thank you for the links :-)

Sir Christopher certainly still looks pretty good for 89!
My pleasure. :)
