Ian Mckellen was meant to be Gandalf, just as Christopher Lee was meant to be Saruman. And that is an encouraging thought...

“Mortal Kombat ... has been around since gaming has been around.”

Your honor, I am not an experienced cannibal – I did not get on that plane expecting to eat anyone! I simply tasted a little of each in the hopes that the next one would taste better!”
