MariNisia 4,198 Posted April 21, 2021 Monte Hellman, the American film director, producer and editor of films as "The shooting" and "The cockfighter" dies at 91. https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/entertainment/monte-hellman-two-lane-blacktop-231744476 The cult director (admired for Quentin Tarantino) gained practical experience in the late 1950s as an assistant editor for television.

Whitehouse 872 Posted April 26, 2021 Just saw the in memoriam bit from the Oskars (r). Damn, the impact from, COVID-19 was very visible NEVER saw so many people memorialized in any other year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,637 Posted April 26, 2021 Oscars In Memoriam 2021 segment here. They crammed a lot more names (95!) in this year, but video was pointlessly fast – blink and you'll miss one! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,972 Posted April 26, 2021 Did they somewhat synchronize the speed with the Stevie Wonder song? Feels a bit cheap, to me. Chadwick Boseman as a final name was somewhat inevitable, I guess. I feel a little sad that Olivia De Havilland is just there...? Too many huge names, I guess. But then, they didn't cover 12 months but more like 16, even included Helen McCrory. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,726 Posted April 26, 2021 So fast it was almost an insult. There were a lot of big names in there across all the elements of film making though. If they had lengthened by 90 secs (or cut the overacted drivel down from beforehand) then i’d have liked a clip of OdeH, Sean, Chadwick and a burst of Ennio Morricone. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,637 Posted April 26, 2021 The Oscars fuck the video segment up every year. One thing I’ll give them credit for... their full In Memoriam list here: https://aframe.oscars.org/news/in-memoriam Quite a lot of off radar deaths (etc. Patricia Alphin, Jim Haynie) on there, though nobody particularly notable.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted April 26, 2021 The main winners seem to be films that aren't even out in the UK yet, whether or not you're allowed to go to the picture house to see them on the sliver screen. Maybe that's how it usually is these, I don't know? I stopped going in about 1950. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Hemlock 742 Posted April 26, 2021 Glad to see they included Conchata Ferrell who was a glaring omission on the Turner Classic Movies Memorium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
