More than half of the people who go on your site probably won't know who he is. :b

Either way, that's a shame. Hopefully his family's doing alright.

perez, don't expect people to know who he was.. I know, but I probably wouldn't if I wasn't from sweden, so… by the way I think he was a boring, pretentious ass****.

R.I.P Ingmar. The world has lost another genius in film making.

I am apalled by the complete lack of respect shown in these comments. Regardless of whether we knew who this man was or not, he has passed and his family is in mourning. It's not funny … nor is calling him a pretentious ass the least bit amusing. Obviously we are dealing with uneducated and immature folks here. What a shame. You ought to be embarassed.

@iam dumb and Ryan: sad that you don't know who this great master was. you should check out some of his films.

@Charlotte whay was he an asshole because he was private and secluded, boring did u ever meet him? his films were slow but poignant, they analyzed what it means to be human and to feel.

truly a great loss, may he rest in peace

Perez, I love it that you continue to educate the masses. Igmar Bergman was a major contributor to film as we know it today & his body of work is outstanding. If you haven't got a clue to who this master is - look him up on the web!

A genius is dead. Tonight we'll be watching Fanny and Alexander in our house, and pay tribute to the master.

RIP Ingmar.

Rest in peace Ingmar- du er den besten!
Every single work of his was a masterpiece!
The world has not lost another genius of film maing, albeit the biggest and best of them.

To all of you ignorants- if you do not know who Mister Bergman was, (no comment about that….) please spare us at least your incredibly stupid comments.

var inte direkt ett fan av hans filmer men man kan inte bortse från det faktum att mannen var en legend inom filmvärlden.

We've lost a true master. Woody Allen once said that Bergman may have been the most talented filmmaker since the invention of the medium - before you mock, check out some of his work.

All you retards saying "who?what? drrrrr" shut the fuck up and learn to use wikipedia before you open your drooling, ignorant, inbred mouths. I swear to god some of the comments I read on this website are making me lose all faith in humanity.
mia says – reply to this

28

I love mr Bergman!

Noone dares to really questioning life with or without God the way Bergman always has. Watch his films! Pure magic! And not at all boring, start with Fanny and Alexander. Tragic and comic and dealing with how hard it's sometimes is being a human being.

Something even Britney and Lindsey L would enjoy. For sure.

32

The fact that his death is even mentioned on this site, which isn't exactly known for its' dedication to 'non-maintream' culture, only serves as an indication of his greatness. I don't think I've fully realised until now just how famous he was worldwide.

Then I guess ure gonna die from cancer too, racist.
Sorry to have responded in this topic, didnt want to do this but Im amazed at the stupidity and ignorance of some people. Its because of people like you, Selena that racism still exists.

Rest in peace Ingmar.

One mention in the NY Times and you're suddenly Mr. intellectual.

Please don't embarrass a late, great filmmaker by featuring him in your shitty Blog.
The Phantom says – reply to this

41

The fact remains that a lot of the American public knows nothing about serious intelligent filmaking is just a plain shame. Ingmar Bergman will remain the thinking man's all time great when it comes to film. Mr. Bergman thanks for the legacy you left behind, you will be always remembered through your outstanding films.

One of the greatest directors of the 20th century. I suggest renting any of his films - they were all brilliant and interesting - they were pretty psychologically intense and had a very stagey (not staged) quality to them.

It really makes me sad that a Swede said "so… by the way I think he was a boring, pretentious ass"! You have no respect for all the great work that man has done! No wonder that the Swede´s are called "blond and dumb", you really show the world it´s true!

73

We have lost a great legend, a world legend. And for you who don´t know who he was, shame on you! He was teh greatest of the greatest! The U.S is not the center of the world… He was greater than any american film director ever… He is not comparable with any of the american film directors living today.
Moa says – reply to this

Du kommer vara saknad (you will be missed) You were the best, the greatest, the one and only and your films were just outstanding.
As a Swede I am so proud, and I will love your films forever and ever.
Malin says – reply to this

75

Even if you don`t know who he is I think it`s really dissrespectful to write mean comments! During his life he was nominated for 9 academy awards and 3 of his movies won academy awards for best foreign film! That is really great work for a filmmaker that isn`t from USA!
Vila i frid!

I heard about this on the radio when I woke up this morning and it felt like the end of an era. When great people die you get that feeling. The greatest Scandinavian film maker of all times and one of the greatest in the world.

As a Swedish citizen I'm embarrassed and ashamed to read the comments of my fellow countrymen; but you're hopefully not the retards most of you present yourselves as, it would be nice if you atleast could show some dignity and, so to say, act your age.

It's quite amazing to read and hear about the 'stupid, fat uh-mericans' back home when, infact, our own nations dying wish is to be more like them and we're gradually achieving that goal. The only downside is that we just absorb the bad parts of the American society and none of the good.

Kudos to all of you who acknowledged Bergman. It's a crying shame that you obviously know more about this legend then our own pople do.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
