Oh Shit...

Wow. I definitely let one of those heavy handed sighs out this morning. I was hunting for info on imdb and suddenly, across the banner, I see the headline: Robert Altman dead at 81. I don't think I've ever taken death that seriously. I imagine my friends and family dying all the time and what it would be like and its pretty okay, I roll with it. And of all people I had never ever in my life imagined that someone I don't even know, haven't even met, someone like Robert Altman would make me think twice about death. When people die, you hear and say: Bla bla bla will be sorely missed. Well, this time it's for real. I do think I will miss him. I just read a script he was going to direct, and it was such a given. Yeah, Altman will make this. And for anyone who saw the Oscars this year and his speech about him having a 30 year old woman's heart and what not... seriously. Oh shit.


Feel like watching: short cuts, nashville, mccabe+mrs.miller tonight.

I think that's a good way of arriving at a list of directors you genuinely like. Think about if you will be sad if they were to die tomorrow.
