Legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman has died. Tis a sad loss. Rest In Peace, Ingmar.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

Yup, was truely sad to hear of this. One of the greatest artists of the cinema and one of my favourite directors. He was a real poet. Antonioni passed away today as well. Devastating. Goddard is really the only one left from that seminal period of international groundbreakers, but Bergman was always one of my favourites. For a man who spent the cinema exploring his inner troubles I hope he has finally found peace.

This is the guy who did The Seventh Seal right? Even though I've never seen a movie of his RIP.

Because you've already made up your mind about God.

I don't think this has anything to do with the ability to enjoy a Bergman film. Atheist or Christian, his films are still powerful and I doubt they would persuade one's beliefs one way or another.

Bergman leaned more towards atheism to my mind. I'm a Catholic and enjoy his films a great deal.

And rest in peace Ingmar. Your debt to the cinema can never be repaid.

So what is this? The first time someone famous in the film industry dies that didn't pass away right after sean started getting interested in his work? That must be a miracle!

But, yes, rest in peace. Honestly, all I've seen of his is Seventh Seal, and it really creeped me out, but in a good way.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
