Johnny Depp honors Christopher Lee in surprise appearance at BFI London Film Festival

Johnny Depp surprised his friend Christopher Lee with an award from the British Film Institute.

(UPI) --Johnny Depp showed up to the last weekend of the British Film Institute's 10-day London Film Festival to present his friend and occasional costar, British actor Sir Christopher Lee, with the organization's Fellowship award.
Depp, 50, called the 91-year-old actor "a true gentleman" and "a national treasure" in his speech on Saturday. The two have worked together on films like "Sleepy Hollow" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

“It is my great honor to bestow this award to a very great man. He’s inspired me like he has so many, he’s fascinated me like he has so many," Depp told the audience. "He’s been a wonderful individual and over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working with him and it has been a childhood dream come true."
"Johnny, I don't know what to say," Lee said, choked up and with tears in his eyes. "I didn't know you were going to be here. I must try and pull myself together."

Depp snuck into the event -- having told Lee that he wouldn't be able to attend the ceremony.
“Somebody told me Johnny wouldn’t be able to come tonight as he was somewhere else in Europe,” Lee explained."He means an enormous amount to me. He is one of very few young actors on screen today who's truly a star," he continued. "Everything he does has a meaning. He's a joy to work with, an actor's dream and certainly a director's dream. I could go on a long time but I'd probably embarrass him."
Lee also discussed his feelings about his long-lasting career in show business, having starred in hundreds of films.

“When I take a look back, and its a long one, 67 years, at the characters I’ve played I get a truly strange feeling they were all played by somebody else, and not by me," he said.

"And there are a few occasions when it has been the case I wish it had," he quipped.

I'd like to spit on the director....

Sometimes owning a video camera should be considered assault with a deadly weapon.

Evidence: I'LL BURY YOU...I'LL KILL YOU...I'LL SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE TOO (2000). The title alone says a lot.

Mainly this has nothing to do with the original I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. The makers of this crap were trying to be cute. We just called it that because we think we are so clever (and we want your money...). It's starts off with a b & w flashback to a chainsaw murder. The gore here looks like it was left over from the final added scenes in SNUFF! It's bad! 25 years later a group of "researchers" go back to the place where it happened and are eventually killed off by a army fatigue wearing killer. A redneck sheriff gives the group a hard time and all the acting is awful. The cast is so small that one actress does all the topless scenes and a minor character from the beginning is brought back to help the two survivors in the climax.

And for some reason when the identity of the killer is revealed he seems to be nearly invincible! This may have been just a stab at humor though parodying such killers as Jason and Micheal Myers. Do I dare give the makers of this junk that much credit??

The last name of the director of this is Koba. That was Stalin's nickname....

Thanks for reading!
