well damn, I liked that guy. Glad he got his lifetime achievement award (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJWmiZIdTWM) last year--certainly deserved it.

Exactly!

The funny part is he was one of those that said he was gonna move out of the country if Bush was elected. I would say he kept his promise but jeesh:pop:

The last Altman movie I saw had:

1) too freaking many characters;
2) too many story lines; and
3) actors who talked to fast, compounded by the fact that they spoke with a British accent and the sound job was horrible - basically I was lucky to hear about 1/3 of the lines.

But hey, Altman's a GENIUS so it must have been a great movie. I just wish I could have kept track of the damn thing an heard everything so I could have formed my own opinion of it.

Gosford Park? I loved that movie. he had body mics on all the actors to get the full effect of overlapping dialog :D

Yes, that is it. Great cast in a who dunnit. My kind of movie. Up until the point that I realized that I couldn't follow the damn thing cause I couldn't hear it. He needed to add subtitles.
