In Memorium: Robert Altman 1925 - 2006

Director Robert Altman (M*A*S*H, The Player, Short Cuts, Nashville, Gosford Park) died last night at the age of 81. I first heard this news today over the radio from Terry Gross while driving to work. She played an excerpt of an interview she did with Altman back in 1990. She asked him if there were any of his films that he felt failed completely or that he would not want people to see. He said all of them accomplished what he set out to do artistically. How many other directors could say that and mean it? He will be greatly missed.
