RIP Robert Altman

One of the great auteurs of modern American cinema is dead.

The caustic and irreverent director of movies including M-A-S-H, Nashville and The Player died on Monday night US time, at the age of 81.

There's a beautiful salute to him here, at Salon.com, which I urge you all to read.

i guess this makes a prairie home companion compulsory viewing now. if the prospect of seeing streep drag la lohan up by the bootstraps wasn't enough...
