RIP Robert Altman

Prairie Home Companion was sweet, if not really all that much. My favorites are McCabe & Mrs. Miller---best seen baked in a '70's revival house, and (even more baked) "Brewester McCloud", with a turn by Margaret Hamilton that belongs in GR, "Death From slightly Above" and teenaged dreams of flight.
