    The man was a ****ing design genius. He must have despaired at the photoshopped ****e that passes for poster art and design in the 21st century.

    Ah man I lloved Frank he was brilliant in Assault on Precinct 13 as the white warlord “ice cream truck scene” was one of the toughest shocking scenes I’d seen in the 80’s.
    Also he was brilliant in Escape from New York as Romero such a flamboyant performance. RIP Frank only a few roles but you made a big impression!

    Claude Lanzmann has died at aged 92.

    He directed Shoah, which I without hestitation would describe as the best documentary I have ever seen. An essential investigation of one of modern history’s darkest chapters and the people who experienced it, put together with formal and ethical rigour. There are a few films everybody should see... Shoah is one.

    It’s a stunning documentary easily in my top 5.

    Tab Hunter died aged 86 RIP.
    With his All-American good looks, wavy blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and toothy smile, Hunter rose to the top ranks of Hollywood leading men in the 1950’s and early ’60’s. He appeared in the likes of “Damn Yankees” and “Battle Cry,” and had chart-topping records such as “Young Love.” But at the height of his popularity, he was dogged by rumors that he was gay, a potentially career-ending rumor during that culturally conservative era. At one point, he was “outed” by the gossip rag, Confidential.

    https://variety.com/2018/film/news/tab-hunter-dead-dies-damn-yankees-star-gay-icon-1202868343/


    Tab Hunter Confidential is a great documentary if you get a chance to see it.

    Aretha Franklin has died; not a movie star as such, but her music has featured in hundreds of movies, and she starred in the iconic diner scene in the original Blues Brothers. I watched that scene again, and could see what people meant when they said she was really bad at lip-syncing: she wanted to sing the song a little differently every time. :cool:

    I saw Lindsay Kemp died a couple of days ago: he did some straight acting on stage and in movies such as The Wicker Man (as the pub landlord), but was better known as a dancer and choreographer in films such as Jubilee and Velvet Goldmine. I knew his name as dance teacher to the stars e.g. he taught David Bowie, Kate Bush and others, appearing in her short film The Line, the Cross & the Curve.
