Reply to "RIP, VIP - Chapter 3 (10/21/05++)"

It was sad I thought that Robert Altman died, thought he was quite an interesting director and character. I particularly loved The Player which came out in the year that I was in a career that sent me out to LA each month to pitch the studio heads... i HATED IT and that movie really resonated on how stupid and fake it all was!
Another RIP VIP this wk was the wonderful Perry Henzell, a man I had met in Jamaica a number of times - a real bright iconoclast. Director of the legendary cult classic The Harder They Come (a movie that put Jimmy Cliff on the map). Perry was 70, died of cancer in his Jamaican home, on the eve of his showing his latest film at a Toronto Film Festival. 'Nuff Respect mi lion!
