A pretty huge loss for the film community. RIP to one of the greatest American directors of all-time.
RIP Robert Altman

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.
Damn , what huge bummer.
"Nashville", "The Player", "Short Cuts" ,"MASH" - you dont get much better than that. A real individual voice.

echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

I was supposed to see the, unfortunately as it turned out, lame play Kevin Spacey had him direct in London last Easter. It was cancelled by the time I arrived so I managed to grab one of the last tickets for the Daniel Johnston tribute at the Barbican instead. An eclectic evening as it turned out, so, in restrospect, I had a very Altmanesque time all the same. Loved the bit in that BBC documentary on the making of Gosford Park where one of the owners of the vintage cars used in the film asked Altman who he was and he very self effacingly just told him he was Bob. One of a kind, he had a great life.
