h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So he is dead.
For some reason some people seem to be immortal. 89 is a honourable age and his works are still all there. Still it makes me sad.

one of his oldest films were only days ago voted as having the best intro in film history

His life in pictures:

There's a big photo at the top of the front page, below it slightly to the right is a smaller one. Next to it, click on the link named 'Se bilder'.

for the link.

(Of course we love him even more because of Käbi Laretei. So he's all over news here, too.)

And now Michelangelo Antonioni died.

It just isn't fair, is it? Two good ones gone in the space of a couple of days, and plenty of really bad film-makers are still with us.

The good news is that their films are still there.
Odd that we don't notice them much when they are alive but as soon as they die, especially in a row, it's kinda unfair. I didn't even know Antonioni made his last film only 3 years ago.

and i actually thought bergman died years ago

And Antonioni? He was even older.

yeah, him too

i don't get out enough, it seems

Maybe you go out with wrong people?

He's dead?

Yep, they both are.

maybe i am going out with the wrong people

peter wants to see the simpson movie - and he would prolly be bored stiff from watching antonioni and/or bergman

Naah, I was thinking more like you should have been going out with Bergman and Antonioni to be sure they're alive and well. Now it's too late for that, of course.

you think i could have dragged them along to watch the simpson movie

They surely were opneminded. And anyway, what's wrong with Simpsons anyway?

nothing wrong at all. i look forward to seeing the movie. our local critic, a 66 year old male, highly educated in the finer arts, says it's excellent and very deep fun

It's not announced in R yet.
