Robert Altman is dead.
So there's that.
I don't care what people say. I liked "A Prairie Home Companion". But my favorite Altman films are probably "Gosford Park", in which his loose patchwork is actually a cover for a well oiled machine, and "The Long Goodbye", in which Philip Marlowe truly comes into his own.
I'm glad that there are many Altman films that I have not seen, including some big ones, and I look forward to spending time with them in the future.
