I have only one thing to say to whatever killed Donald Sutherland:

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Also loved his work in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I assume that's from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? I've only seen the pose spoofed in other media, most memorable being Space Quest IV (think it's that one, been a few decades since playing the series now). Mean to watch it someday, maybe a good time in remeberance.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I dunno, Italian spiderman had a decent take

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That is correct. And it's an excellent film, as is the original from 1956.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the best version of the movie really.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, he balanced that out by being in the terrible 1990s version of The Puppet Masters, but they can't all be good.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Puppet master secret service scene is awesome

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It ain’t that bad! Ain’t that good either but still!

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 10 points 1 year ago

This scene shaved years off my life, haha. He absolutely nailed it.

[–] BedInspector@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I will forever call capers rat turds because if this man.

This movie kept me up nights as a kid.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (5 children)

My favorite role he played was Oddball in Kelly's Heroes

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Always with the negative waves, Moriarty. Always with the negative waves.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Woof, woof, woof! That's my other dog imitation

That's such a positive wave, maybe they can't lose...

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 4 points 1 year ago
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Love him in that.

[–] CalamityPayne@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

It's a motherbeautiful bridge! Think it'll be there, and it'll be there.

Absolutely loved him as Oddball. RIP Donald Sutherland.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

im going to watch mash tonight. i think he is one of the only reasons that movie hit big.

If you want a laugh play that song at 1.25x speed.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I honestly can't say I like the movie. It's from that era of the 70s where they decided movies don't need a plot.

But he is really good in it.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gould too. They were both hilarious and charismatic.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. They were a terrific team-up and I doubt I would have enjoyed the movie at all if they hadn't been in it. Right up there in that era with Butch and Sundance in terms of a charismatic cinematic duo.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Also it was a Vietnam film that got past the censors by being explicitly about The Korean War.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The pyro in Backdraft...the guy even showed up in Beerfest. Helluva career. 141 films and 42 TV shows according to his Wiki. RIP.

Buffy. Puppet masters. MASH. Salute to you good sir. You entertained and made this life a bit more bearable.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Donald Sutherland was easily one of the best living actors. RIP to one of the GOATs 🫡

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely an anti-social type. Woof woof woof woof! That's my other dog imitation.

[–] mkhopper@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It flies under the radar, but I really liked him as the crooked warden in Lock Up.

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Is this one actually dead or is this another one where the news has jumped the gun?

I don't know why but of all his movies (I'm 30s) I think of the Italian Job. Great actor though in everything he's done.

[–] Perturabo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just recently watched Virus. Great movie.

RIP

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What’s your name soldier?

Number two, sir!

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I have only seen him in the hunger games so I always think of him as that evil guy from the hunger games
