RIP Roy

Just the other day I caught a late-nighter of ‘Jaws 2’ and thought “Jeez – now this is a truly shite sequel” (witness all subsequent Jaws sequels to be fair though.), but boy does Scheider rock; ‘Marathon Man’, ‘Klute’, ‘Jaws’, ‘All That Jazz’, ‘French Connection’ (so good they named a clothing chain after it!) all kick ass – hell I’ll even throw in ‘Blue Thunder’, ’Naked Lunch’ and the oddly underrated ‘Cohen and Tate’. We can skip lightly over ‘SeaQuest DSV’ as that at least made people rush out and buy old Amiga computers to replicate that cool Light-Wave animation style (see also ‘Babylon 5’.) Schneidmeister we salute you…
