RIP Robert Altman

[Lary Wallace]

Just saw Brewster McCloud for the first time last year. (Got ahold of a badly damaged library copy.) An unbelievably strange movie.

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.

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.
