Max Von Sydow has passed away on 8 March 2020 at the age of 90 at his home in Provence, France.

A film icon, versatile actor, Max Von Sydow was part of many sci-fi movies now cult classics. Flash Gordon, Conan the Barbarian, Strange Brew, Dune, The Minority Report, and The Exorcist to name just a few. Some may also remember him as the voice of Vigo the Carpathian, in Ghost Busters II.

I will always remember him as Ming the Merciless.

R.I.P.

    And absolutley no mention of Von Sydow's role in Bergman's seminal "The Seventh Seal," [wikipedia.org] that, among other milestones, was basically the film that exposed the world to Von Sydow. It's like saying of Brando, "memorable roles in films such as "The Island of Doctor Moreau," and "The Formula."

    Flash Gordon, my hairy ass.
