The S&S Roeg obit is by David Thompson with a p, not to be confused with David Thomson without a p, author of the Biographical Dictionary of Cinema.

Thanks Ward, I saw the 'p' and thought that wasn't how I recalled it but I was too lazy to google.

What is wrong with him?

I think Thomson thinks he Roeg was a cinematographer, not a director:

as I long suspected, Insignificance isn't very good.
bcz of his history w/ the real Marilyn, Tony Curtis is extra creepy in his scenes with T Russell.

Insignificance blows. Theresa Russell's Marilyn is terrible. Don't know why it's not lumped in with the rest of his spotty & weightless 80s work - I prefer Track 29. Eureka is the end of his imperial phase even if it is too long. But the drop-off from Bad Timing to Insignificance to Track 29 is staggering.
