One of the planet's great directors, Robert Altman, died today. Altman was in the vanguard of American independent film in the 1970s and continued working up to this year. Altman's massive resume includes classics such as MASH, The Player, and Gosford Park, as well as the innovative TV political mockumentary Tanner 88 (along with Doonesbuy's Gary Trudeau). Altman practically perfected the huge-ensemble-cast-with-intersecting-story-lines with Nashville (which I haven't seen) and Short Cuts (which I have). He will be missed.
