Michael Cimino (1939-2016)
I watched Heaven’s Gate a few years back to see for myself. No amount of re-editing, re-imagining, or explaining can save it from being the trainwreck that it is. It is a Western with a five minute roller-skating sequence in it. It is 325 minutes long (and I mean long). Joe Queenan writes about it here, in what is the funniest movie review I’ve ever read. It bankrupted a studio and ruined several careers, including Cimino’s.
Cimino was, by all accounts, an autocratic, difficult, Ayn-Rand-loving director and human being. And now he’s dead. RIP.
Abe Vigoda (1921-2016)
Still not sure I believe it.
John Boehner (2011-2015)
Boehner says he is leaving “for the good of the institution.”
How is letting the mental patients take over “good” for the “institution?”
Yvonne Craig (1937-2015)
Batgirl? Really?
