RIP Sydney :(

I really liked him

Did he also act?

Wasn't he in "Eyes Wide Shut?"

I think it was him?

Pollack acted in numerous films, including in his own movies, and yes, he was in "Eyes Wide Shut".

Here is a picture of Pollack with Tom Cruise, and the Director of "Eyes Wide Shut", Stanley Kubrick:

He will be missed!




FUCK YOU IDIOT!!!

I didn't realize that Sydney Pollack was a Producer for "Michael Clayton", "Cold Mountain", "The Talented Mr. Ripley", "Sense and Sensibility", "Searching for Bobby Fischer", and "The Fabulous Baker Boys", all of which I consider to be terrific films (in addition to the aforementioned films which he directed).

Wow! Remind me to lay a big hug on you when you come to San Francisco in a few weeks...

ADG

great director, RIP

RIP Mr. Pollack. :(

Oh no!!! sniff sniff...RIP...terrible loss for the cinema industry

Wow I didn't knew he was involved in so many movies... I respect the guy but I wasn,t a "fan"


He will be missed for sure :(

He was great at both jobs.

Very talented director and producer.

My favorite movie of his (as a director) was Jeremiah Johnson. Robert Redford was amazing in that movie.

loved his movies... RIP

It seems like we started to loose OUR people, people who made things for us, people who made us, helped us see the world. It makes us grown up kids for now, it's our moment to share and give. He'll be missed. Rest in piece.

P.S.: Average GFY dude 30+, do you feel you are getting older?

My mistake... was thinking of someone else.

ya rip he was in that episode of entourage
