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.

F0.7 which i cannot even imagine. They were originally made for NASA. At one stage you could rent the same lenses out by the day.

Frank Doubleday (Assault on Precinct 13 and Escape From New York) has died at 73, he is also the father of actresses Portia Doubleday and Kaitlin Doubleday, he died on March 3rd

Snake Plisken

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.

Steve Ditko, co-creator and artist of Spider-man and Doctor Strange (amongst many others) has died aged 90. Sadly he had become something of a recluse, with no known surviving family members.

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.

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