Last week director Robert Altman died of cancer at the age of 81. i didn't see a mention of it on the forum, so I just wanted to mention it. He was a innovative director who was a master at camera movement and techniques such as overlapping dialogue. I had the rare opportunity to work on his last film "a Prairie Home Companion" last year and it was an amazing experience that was one of the greatest of my life. He will be truly missed.

Never did get a chance to catch it at the cinema so I've just ordered a Region 1 DVD of it instead, doesn't seem to be a PAL version yet.

That was a nice comfortable, homey flick. Kinda fun to see and hear G.K. playing himself!

Cheers
