Sage Stallone is dead.

oh man! this is heavy. he seemed like such a cool guy. aside from what anyone can find out about him with a quick google search, he was good friends with vincent gallo. he bought the camera package (and all of its gallo-tailored accessories) used for the brown bunny shoot. and im sure we're all looking forward to promises written in water. I hear his performance is incredible.

r.i.p. sage

yeah he was good friends with jim van bebber as well and did a lot of work restoring grindhouse films through his company. fucking drugs.

Chris Marker

[JulienDonkeyHumpers]

just read that earlier. can't believe it. another cinematic legend gone.

i've only seen La Jetee and his short Cat Listening to Music. I guess I should get on Sans Soleil? Any other recommendations shorts et al?

normally i don't give a fuck about dead people i didn't know, and most times ones i did know... but hearing about Marker is a real bummer, even if he was 91. his films really impacted me. here is one of his shorts that always brings a smile to my face, no matter how low things get. i'm glad that he made things that make me smile and his spirit will hopefully live on through his work.

here's a link to Sans Soleil, since Julien DonkeyHumpers brought it up. other pieces of his that i particularly liked are The Case of The Grinning Cat, Level Five, A Grin Without a Cat, and One Day in the Life of Andrei Arsenevich. the Kurosawa doc he made called AK is really good too.

Gore Vidal is dead.

[harmfulkorine]

with regard to Chris Marker, I really like LE JOLI MAI, and if you can get ahold of a working copy of IMMEMORY that's really worth a look too...

apparently he was really into SECOND LIFE... http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/ ... econd-life

Chavela Vargas, a Mexican singer. She was, apparently, a muse for Pedro Almodóvar.
