Lost Another Great One

Robert Altman, one of the most unique voices in film history, died November 20th. He was 81 years old.

Altman directed "M.A.S.H.", "The Player", "Short Cuts", and "Nashville", among many. I think my first introduction to Altman was with "M.A.S.H" and later "Nashville."

I remember watching "The Player" and being blown away by it. I don't know if it was the direction or the acting or the editing, but it was so smooth.

"M.A.S.H." was so fucking good. There was so much missing when it changed format and ended up on the boob tube. I like the series, but it was nothing like the movie.

He will be missed.
