Did Herr von Sydow ever so slowly with seagulls crying in the shoreline wind walk to the end of a pier? RIP

Yes, and remember he played that one guy who nobody knew who he was in the last Star Wars movie most people ever saw.

It’s great seeing the range of titles in his 163 credits, from Three Days of the Condor to The Greatest Story Ever Told to Strange Brew. He had quite the screen presence.

Farewell to one of the great ones.
On a different note I really miss the episode guide and the weekly discussion thread.

Little oopsie up there. Devil Doll was 818, while 808 was She Creature.
I mentioned this on the Day in MSTory thread where Von Sydow death was first mentioned, but I’ll repeat it for those who missed it. Pitch calling Mike Max Von Sydow could either refer to his role in The Greatest Story Ever Told or The Exorcist. What do you people at home think it is?
