But I learned to love the movies of my own generation through the work of two very different -- opposite, really -- directors: cold, precise, pessimistic, misanthropic Stanley Kubrick, and loving, sloppy, energetic, optimistic, humane Altman. You know, I've seen plenty of works by both artists in the past, but it never occurred to me until you pointed it out just how diametrically opposed the philosophies of Kubrick and Altman were to one another. Looking back on it analytically now, they were the perfect foils for each other - down to Kubrick's reclusiveness and Altman's openess.

Needless to say, the industry lost a giant today.

A great loss. I would argue that his best was M*A*S*H.

So he didn't make good on his vow to move to Paris if Bush was re-elected? Sure he did. He moved to Paris, Texas.
