The timing is either coincidental, or someone cashing on Christopher Lee's passing.
What I find interesting is the different in camera mattes on various sequences in the movie.
These TCM Remembers segments always bring a tear to my eye.

Yeah, probably a wardrobe and not a makeup test. (And I think they sometimes do shoot tests with doubles who are the same size as the actors before they get down to final fittings.) I see inspiration from Leia's Hoth and Endor commando outfits.
There might even be a good reason for her to blend in with the troops in the plot.
We'll probably see her looking more regal at some point in the film.
Hey! I like Zardoz. Just bought the Blu Ray a couple weeks ago. And it was cool enough for Rick and Morty to pay homage to...
I feel confident Sean did The Avengers for the money though.
Even respected actors have to pay the bills. Sir Alec probably has a dog or two in his filmography.
Poita deserves the credit for keeping an eye out for this.
I was trying to repress the memory of that one! It's like Plan 9, if Ed Wood had a slightly higher budget to work with. ;)
Just in case anyone wanted to see what the Warner/Kinney logo on Dirty Harry looked like...
Sounds more like his agent was the roadblock.
We have a reservation at the Overlook now, just waiting for them to call us back.
You mean this?
That's because Jaxxon wasn't there to convince them...

I've listened to a few of these podcasts, very interesting stuff. Certainly not your normal sports/news/entertainment podcast, and definitely NSFW in places. The intros and background music are very weird and kind of annoying (especially the music), but the interviews are pretty solid and entertaining...mostly because the guests are weirdos.
I actually feel like I might be too normal for this podcast. ;-)
That's why we need to find you a Ric Olie costume for public appearances. ;)
I would love a Jaxxon and the Starhoppers comic.
Thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy, violent but cute furry animals are big business with Marvel right now. :)
Ye gods! Kicking Nazi ass with Ian Fleming?! Lee's WWII exploits would make for a damn good film!

And the title is a no brainer.
TCM is doing a Lee movie marathon tribute on June 22nd.
There was this black and white horror film I could only recall fragments of, as I saw it on tv when I was very young. Used to drive me crazy as to what the name could have been or who was in it. Much to my surprise and delight, when TCM dug up a battered print on Halloween a couple years ago, it turned out to one of Sir Lee's films, Castle of the Living Dead.

Any progress to report? The wait is killing me. ;)
Yes, Lucas could have done more with the character. Bumping Dooku off so early in ROTS seems a waste. It is to Lee's credit I believed Dooku wasn't dyed in the wool evil in AOTC, and more of a double agent character, if only for a little while.
And The Howling II is a turkey so bad, Lee allegedly apologized to director Joe Dante, (who made the original film) for being in it.

Oh and if you could wait in the alley after the 70mm presentation and mug the projectionist....
I would like to remind the more impressionable members that mugging a projectionist is not cool.
They're an endangered species to begin with. ;)
Anyone else remember Mr. Moody from a UK show called Into The Labyrinth? Nickelodeon aired it here back in the 80's.
Pity he never played a certain Time Lord.
Damn. I was watching 1941 last night. :(
His real military career in WWII probably rivaled any part he ever played. And the details of that will probably remain hush hush.
Besides the fact we all envy you? ;)
My other DVD still eludes me. I'm pretty sure it's hiding behind my Laserdiscs, because it knows I would never look there first.
Now you tell us? Puggo has been working on the first two for quite some time.
The Disney clips were cut from all home video releases, and even prints of SPFX.
16mm and Super 8 versions of The Black Hole and Mary Poppins were purchased to restore that segment, and a Youtube video of an unedited UK broadcast was going to patch Mark Hamill's narration.
I am glad you have SWTJ, as that was a a tough one to find, only ever showing up once on Ebay, and vanishing into a collector's cupboard soon after.
IIRC, the name Mace first appears somewhere in Lucas' early Star Wars drafts.
