(September 21, 2020 at 1:08 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Michael Lonsdale, a French actor. I remember first seeing him in Truffaut's movies and then even in one episode of ER where he played a model maker who doesn't have front vision. He was even in one James Bond movie.

Moonraker afaik.

Sad. I’ll always picture him as commissarie Claude Lebel from ‘The Day Of The Jackal’.

Jackie Stallone, Sly's mom. She was a versatile woman who, among other things, was a psychic claiming to predict people's future by looking at pictures of their bare asses.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

James Bond (Roger Moore) fires a shot gun at a retreating flock of pheasants. No pheasants are struck.

Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale): "You missed, Mr. Bond."

Would-be assassin falls lifelessly from a tree.

James Bond (Roger Moore): "Did I?"

Not at all realistic but my favorite scene from any of the bond movies where Bond shows up the villain.

Michael Lonsdale played perhaps the ultimate Bond villain. His character intended to wipe out the human race with a nerve gas which did not harm animals and then re-populate Earth with a group of his hand-picked perfect specimens and their offspring - taking refuge on an orbiting space station. It doesn't get any more diabolic or elegant than this.

I think he did a great job playing Hugo Drax - a very believable megalomaniac.

RIP, Michael Lonsdale. Thank you for a bit of fun during my teen years.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

He's not really dead.

He's in witness protection - in a secure, undisclosed location.
