Roy Scheider dead :(

darren · 02-11-2008, 12:59 AM

My mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma two years ago, and underwent a stem cell transplant about a year ago. Looking at her today, you wouldn't even know she was sick. It's amazing how fast they're making progress on treating this form of cancer. My parents were at a conference last October and one of the doctors said that in the last two years, it's gone from being a terminal disesase to being a treatable chronic condition. The biggest difficulty is with identifying it early enough, because it's a very elusive disease.

My condolences to all whose lives have been touched by this awful disease. Two years ago i hadn't even heard of it, and it seems that every time it comes up, i hear of one or two new people whose have either had it or have a close family member or friend who's had it.

RIP Roy Scheider.

JAWS was epic. Blue Thunder was one of those movies that made me fall in love with helicopters. And big honkin' multi-barrel cannons.

R.I.P. Roy.
You were one of my favorite actors.

Jaws = fantastic. Only "Bruce" out-shined Roy in that movie.
Blue Thunder = one of my all-time favorites. Like Darren said, it made me fall in love with helicopters....and kickass weaponry.

BTW- The name of the show was "Seaquest-DSV".
I remember one scene in particular where Roy was riding his motorcycle very fast down some desolate road, and the 'big brother' computer came on in his helmet and said, "You have been caught speeding. Deducting 200 credits and assigning 8 points to your drivers license"....or something close to that. Roy was pissed.
(Pass the Geek Soup. I'll have a cup. Better make it a bowl.)

Man... that sucks. He was pretty awesome.
First time I ever saw him was in Jaws.
RIP.

As Wolfy said, awesome tags.

Jaws is one of the best films ever made, and Blue Thunder rocked my world.

Sad to see another of the old guard go

RIP

Oh yeah, I was hooked to it. He was like Pickard underwater. I also liked him in Bleu Thunder and Jaws. He will be missed.

Blue Thunder is an awesome film, absolutely loved it, watched it so many times growing up on VHS

Maybe it's on DVD, as that'd be cool to get

Hell yeah, nothing like an Aerospatiale Gazelle with a big Vulcan to keep one entertained.
