RIP Max Von Sydow
You might remember him from The Exorcist and Flash Gordon
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn...ntl/index.html Swedish actor Max von Sydow, who made his name in the films of Ingmar Bergman before featuring in international hits like "Game of Thrones," has died at the age of 90. Von Sydow passed away on Sunday, according to representatives at Diamond Management, which said "it is with a broken heart and with infinite sadness that we have the extreme pain of announcing the departure of Max." He was a well-known figure in both European and American cinema, starring in films from Bergman's masterpiece "The Seventh Seal" to international blockbusters such as "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Born on April 10, 1929 in Lund, Sweden, von Sydow attended the acting school at Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theatre before working in theaters in Norrköping and Malmö. 'The Exorcist' still turns heads at 40 His star started to rise internationally after working with Bergman on a number of movies, with "The Seventh Seal" (1957) proving a particular catalyst. This led to roles abroad, including Jesus in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965) and Father Lankester Merrin in "The Exorcist" (1973). He was nominated for Oscars for "Pelle the Conqueror" in 1988 and for "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" in 2012. At almost 2 meters tall, with a slim build and a distinctive, gaunt face, von Sydow was a striking on-screen presence. Industry figures including Edgar Wright, writer and director of movies such as "Baby Driver" and "Shaun of the Dead," were effusive in their tributes to the actor. "Max Von Sydow, such an iconic presence in cinema for seven decades, it seemed like he'd always be with us," wrote Wright on Twitter. "He changed the face of international film with Bergman, played Christ, fought the devil, pressed the HOT HAIL button & was Oscar nominated for a silent performance. A god." |

Loved his character in TFA.
I would have watched the shit out of a proper sequel trilogy with Mark Hamill and MVS going off on adventures together. ALSO

He always stuck in my head for some reason for his role in Strange Brew.
Something struck me weird even as a kid about so accomplished an 'actor' actor mucking around in a silly low-budget comedy. Tons of actors have fun doing that nowadays, but it was pretty rare back in the day.

Strange Brew! Yes definitely. He wasn’t above low brow. He always elevated the material

The Exorcist was such a lame movie. It SUCKS. not a movie anybody would want to see again. Once is/was enough. R.I.P to this Actor though. I did enjoy Linda Blair posing NUDE in OUI magazine shortly after it! Loved the BIG HAIR and her rocki'n BIG T*&$!

But yes, Exorcist II did suck. And also yes, grown-up Blair had an amazing rack. |
