Looks like we missed noting that former Disney CEO/son-in-law Ron Miller died earlier this week.

Nordine's last public appearances (as far as I can tell) were spoken word duets via Skype during Laurie Anderson's 2015-16 tour. So he was cogent at age 95 (born in 1920). We should all be so lucky to have a long, impactful life.
I have everything that released on CD (through 2001). I think tonight I'll watch Der Himmel über Berlin for Ganz (way better than the English title), Sunday will be a Nordine marathon.

Didn't he just grab a random woman and shove his tongue down her throat
I remember reading that, or hearing that, somewhere
I haven't read the article
"It wasn't my choice to be kissed," Friedman stated in a 2005 interview with the Library of Congress.[3] "The guy just came over and grabbed!" she said, adding, "That man was very strong. I wasn't kissing him. He was kissing me."[3][10]

There was a lot of Lagerfeld in that recent documentary about fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez (Antonio Lopez 1970: Sex Fashion & Disco). Kind of interesting to see Lagerfeld young and dark-haired, doing regular things like hanging out at the beach. His look always suggested a certain heaviness of spirit though.

'La Dentellière (The Lacemaker)' was a very good character study, with Isabelle Huppert outstanding in an early role, and I've a lot of time for 'La Mort de Mario Ricci' too.
