Roy Scheider dies

I was watching Jaws 2 last night, then I hear that Roy Scheider died of cancer that very day. So sad. Never a great big star, but he always did a good job in his movies and seemed like a real gent offscreen too.

Son of a... He's one of my personal favorites. His performance in Naked Lunch was especially awesome. R.I.P.

And The French Connection. And 2010

Definitely one of my fave all time actors. I daresay you'd recognise him if you saw him Reliant/

What? How can you possibly be alive and not have seen Jaws?

Jaws is a horror film, no? I can't stand horror films...they make me feel ill and I am prone to unpleasant dreams...

Err, no. A thriller, and you'll jump out of your skin a few times, but it's not a horror.

As for Scheider himself - RIP. Be it as Brody or Bridger, he was a great actor.

Thats not a horror film, you could see worse if you've ever seen someone hit by a car, shot by a shotgun, seeing bratz cartoons and lord knows whatelse. Besides, the graphics are so funny to look at now days. Its so fake it makes me laugh everytime I see it. That and the guy getting bit in half, that was pretty damn funny!

If you want horror, go watch Glitter.
