I was going to quote Jane Siberry at this point but I understand "Rocket" was his older brother.

― Michael Jones, Friday, 6 March 2020 15:43 (six years ago)

due to that and his small stature, his nickname was 'pocket rocket'

Glad you made note of that, wasn't sure if someone would. When I was a kid, and hockey broadcasts were a family ritual, my mom just hated him.

The tone of Lipton's show was pretty bad but I thought he seemed pretty nice and not as over-serious as he initially comes across.

RIP Max, what a career! Think I must have seen him in five or six films before I realised that Antonius Block = Father Merrin = Ming the Merciless = Vigo = Three-eyed Raven

Oh fuck, noooo! Such a stone cold classic. I've been going through all of Bergman's films one at a time, and he had a mind boggling array of roles.

Plus being in Flash Gordin, Dune, AND a Star Wars movie? Damn legend.

RIP Max.

There is a certain iconic scene in film history, familiar even to those that have never seen the movie, that will inevitably be posted at some point, so I will just go ahead and do that now:
