"You pitiful fool! My life is not your to give...or take!"
"Klytus, I'm borrred. What plaything can you offer me today?"
"Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror."
Best. Ming. Ever.
Wow, Ming and Christ. Now that's a career.

Loved him as Frederick in Woody's Hannah & Her Sisters:
"You missed a very dull TV show on Auschwitz. More gruesome film clips, and more puzzled intellectuals declaring their mystification over the systematic murder of millions. The reason they can never answer the question 'How could it possibly happen?' is that it's the wrong question. Given what people are, the question is "Why doesn't it happen more often?" You see the whole culture. Nazis, deodorant salesmen, wrestlers, beauty contests, a talk show. Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling? But the worst are the fundamentalist preachers. Third-rate con men telling the poor suckers that watch them that they speak with Jesus, and to please send in money. Money, money, money! If Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up."

Thanks to the poster who suggested that Max von Sydow could have played Gandalf. That is such a perfect idea! (Fortunately McKellan is fantastic in the role, so no bemoaning that it didn't happen from me.)

From the Under-Rated Directors Offering:
And, our favorite, THE archetypal 70s paranoia-conspiracy masterwork (which is, if possible, even more presciently pertinent now than then)
It boasts a wonderfully-wrought script from Pollack’s usual collaborator, David Rayfiel, highwater performances from Robert Redford (he should’ve been nominated for this, not THE STING), Cliff Robertson, a deft quasi-comedic turn from a surprisingly versatile Faye Dunaway and, bar none, Max Von Sydow’s most magnetic American stint as a European assassin
that HAS to be the ancestral prototype
for The Equalizer’s Robert McCall ...

Today .....
I sat in a recording studio ...
reading a VO,
on the same stool ....
that Max von Sydow sat on two weeks ago ...
He was recording ADR.
It needed telling.
