RIP Robert Altman

[Lary Wallace]

A Prairie Home Companion isn't the first bad film Altman ever made; it's only the most recent. Wild ambition can lead to wild inconsistency--great-leaps-lead-to-great-falls, etc. I'm assuming that anyone who belongs to this discussion group appreciates and embraces the dynamic.

Great movies, IMHO through and including Gosford Park, e.g. Altman's body of work is ill-served by the inclusion of his last film, A Prairie Home Companion.

Artists need to know when any one of their works are finished, and they need to know when to bury their brushes in the ground.  I'm glad that TRP hasn't hung up his spurs.
