Campaigner Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Man that sucks so much. Just about right too. It's 1am here, my birthday finished an hour ago and now this news comes through - worst news of the year IMHO. RIP Bob. Let's all watch 'Nashville' tonight... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oatmealblizzard Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Very sad news. As mentioned above, he truly was one of the greats. He will be missed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Wow, definitely hadn't heard about this. That's too bad, Altman was definitely superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwrkb Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 i just saw this. what a freaking bummer. too bad his last film was Prarie Home Alone, the one he was supposedly working on next sounded more interesting it's a sad day for cinema Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Maybe Alan Rudolph can finish his last one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Shit, that's a surprise. McCabe & Mrs Miller and Thieves Like Us are a couple of my favourite films. That's a real bugger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Dr.T and the Women...worst movie ever made, but still he was one of the greats. RIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 When I read the headline this afternoon, my heart skipped a beat. Over the last fifteen years, few filmmakers have meant more to me, or been a more personal face of American cinema to me. We have lost one of our vital voices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

squarewave Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Dr.T and the Women...worst movie ever made, but still he was one of the greats. RIP.I have to agree about the Dr. T statement...The only saving grace for that moment for me is the Farrah meltdown in the mall.Not because she exposes her breasts (although they are very nice for a woman her age), but because I truly feel that it probably happened that way in real life to Farrah while waiting to start a scene, and merely happened to be caught on film. Like Martin Sheen's hotel room freakout in Apocolyse Now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I couldn't believe it when I saw the title of this thread... that's a real, real shame - made some fantastic films, M*A*S*H being one of my favs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 My favorite Altman film (really. I just bought it on DVD last week!): Quote Link to post Share on other sites
