I have always agreed though. Like Ian's statement and how he put it though

I love Ian. Imagine my astonishment when I (slowly) realized that Magneto from X-files was also Gandalf.
That was a moment of severe psychological dissonance for me. Anyway, he's right. There should be a warning label. _____________________

I used to have a Gor persona named Ian Mckellen. Suprised me that he is ggay though, initially. Normally I can figure it out but its good to see I was wrong every now and then. His efforts for the LGBT are also applaudable.
McKellen's father, Denis Murray McKellen, a civil engineer, was a lay preacher, and both of his grandfathers were preachers as well. His home environment was strongly Christian, but non-orthodox. "My upbringing was of low nonconformist Christians who felt that you led the Christian life in part by behaving in a Christian manner to everybody you met."[1] When he was 12, his mother, Margery Lois McKellen (née Sutcliffe) died; his father died when he was 24. When he came out of the closet to his stepmother, Gladys McKellen, who was a Friend (Quaker): "Not only was she not fazed, but as a member of a society which declared its indifference to people's sexuality years back, I think she was just glad for my sake that I wasn't lying any more." [1] Perhaps its this balanced and openminded, accepting youth that brings about his efforts and openness in equality for all. Damn good source for a source of humor too!  |

However, Captain Ahab is as real as you or me.

He also stars in an awesome version of Shakespeare's Richard III that is set in an alternative Fascist England setting kind of like what I would imagine Britain might have been if Hitler had won WW II, as well as playing the Nazi war criminal in Stephen King's Apt Pupil. He is a fabulous actor. P2 _____________________

I Love shakespeare's plays, but all these recent versions where they change the setting are less fun than keeping them in context. I do have to admit that keeping the original dialogue is better than what hollywood used to do. _____________________

I always adored Sir Ian from the first time I saw him in a role (Richard III).
And there's a reason the bible is filed, along with the Quran and Bhagavad Gita... next to greek, norse and egyptian myths in my bookshelves. _____________________

Stellar work in The Shadow and Last Action Hero, too.
