:(

so... Ray Liotta just got arrested for drunk driving. Ray, Ray, Ray. :( I adore him in Goodfellas (it's HARD to carry a Scorsese picture when you're not Robert DeNiro, and he did it damn well) and Narc, and it's sad to see him just kinda...wasting his life like this.

so...it's Robert Altman's birthday. Or rather, it would have been, if he was still alive. :( RIP Robert.
(also happy birthday Mike Leigh, Sidney Poitier, and Brenda Blethyn. May the first and the last make another Secrets and Lies.)

r.i.p

we just lost one of the best, the man responsible for, among others, such masterpieces as m*a*s*h, mccabe & mrs. miller, the long goodbye, california split, nashville, 3 women, the player, short cuts, and gosford park. this is...really sad. rest in peace, robert altman. there's a nice spot reserved for you up there, i'm sure.
