Curio: Celebrating Sir Ian
Alexa here with some film curios for you. It's a big week for Sir Ian McKellen. X-Men: Days of Future Past opens with his return as Magneto (along with Fassy playing the younger version of course) and on Sunday he turns 75. He has much to celebrate, such a long and storied career on stage and screen, but I do wish there'd been an Oscar by now (he was my pick in 1999 for his James Whale in Gods and Monsters). Maybe his turn as an aged Sherlock Holmes in A Slight Trick of the Mind will bring one? I'm already excited to see his interpretation of the deductive master.
For now, here are some goodies to wish him a happy three-quarters century.
