    I read that as Dario Argento had died for a split second. Must pay attention.

    It's sad that he wasn't recognised more, given he was a key part of perhaps the most iconic screen villian of our times.

    He's a cautionary tale about actors never taking off the mask, of a character.

    That was before he turned to the Darkside and was using his powers for good.

    All I can say is I hope he lived a good decent life because Darth Vader is indeed an iconic villain and he deserved more recognition for it. May he Rest In Peace.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    It's a long movie, but it's reputation as a classic is deserved.

    He was actually played a cameo role in the movie himself....There are some inaccuracies...but it was pretty good over all.

    Her character was called Saucy Nancy, which seems appropriate. Her first screen appearance was as a schoolgirl in the Belles of St Trinians.

    Kim Ki-duk, the South Korean director has died from Covid-19. Used to really like his films. "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter ... And Spring" stands out in my memory as a great film.

    Kim made some intriguing and surprisingly beautiful films. Even the quieter likes of Spring, Summer... had a fascination with sex and violence at their core. It was obviously more pronounced in some of his more ‘extreme’ fare.

    Sadly, his legacy was tarnished after some grim allegations of his treatment of some actresses emerged. There were some very messy legal battles about it fairly recently. Given the treatment of women in some of his films, it alas casts an inescapable shadow over what was a curious and unique body of work.

    I couldn't get past the animal cruelty in Kim Ki-duk's films but "Spring, Summer..." was definitely very impressive.
