What a great and versatile director. His work will let him live forever. Rest in Peace.

A particular favorite of mine is Walkabout. What a great film that was. Gorgeous cinematography too.

My favorite is a borderline cliché answer, but it's Don't Look Now.

My favorite is a borderline cliché answer, but it's Don't Look Now.

It's a good movie. I just heard somebody (can't remember the context) say there are no wasted shots in that movie.

"Bernardo Bertolucci, whose epic “The Last Emperor” won nine Oscars and who influenced generations of filmmakers with other groundbreaking works such as “The Conformist” and “Last Tango in Paris,” in which he explored politics and sexuality through personal storytelling and audacious camera work, has died. He was 77."

The Conformist is a masterpiece and I thought that The Last Emperor was beautiful as well. RIP!!!

Wow. Forman, Roeg and Bertolucci all in one year. Is God starting a movie production company?

I need to see that. I've seen the other two, but Conformist is on my list of movies to check out from local libraries.

"Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of the megahit Nickelodeon cartoon series “SpongeBob SquarePants,” died on Monday. He was 57."

I know he had ALS for a while, but this is still heartbreaking. Creator of the one defining shows of my childhood, and also a writer on Rocko's Modern Life. RIP!!!

Seen him in movies (like Boogie Nights), but he was great in Deadwood.

Former President George H.W. Bush Dies At 94

I'm more of a Reagan guy, but Bush toed the line for him and always seemed honorable (serving his country for years) and I loved when he told off Dan Rather. Gorbachev, who has now survived both his American counterparts, praised HW's role in the end of the Cold War.
