Last time I saw Sanders he was barely there, really disappointing. But I don't want him to die!

Aw, Isao Takahata. Our son has had Totoro, Ponyo and Kiki on rotation since we bought some Ghibli DVDs last month.

I'm sad about that one too. It reminded me that I should watch Grave of the Fireflies at some point if I can take it.

I'd heard of Cecil Taylor for long time but never really checked him out until we decided to name our son Cecil, and he was adopted from a woman named Taylor. She was the only person we told the name to before he was born.
I mentioned him to her after we told her the name we'd chosen and she, a 20 year old in a very chaotic period of her life, gave me most amazing "what the fuck kind of old man music nerd shit about 'free jazz' are you telling me right now?" look which still makes me laugh whenever I think about this.

I missed Susan Anspach. Have mentioned her many times on this board. She sure left a lasting impression based on the four films she did between '70 and '73. (Actually, it's been a while since I saw The Landlord, so I can't remember how big her role is.)

Ermey's passing was confirmed via his Facebook/Twitter accounts. 72 years old, pneumonia -- unfortunate and by all accounts totally unexpected, but a hell of a run.
