    Kubrick is probably my favorite director, but I can never excuse the cruelty. Many of the best artists aren’t such kind people unfortunately. And I hate how many called Shelley ugly and annoying - very commonplace, nasty abuse.

    There's something about Shelley Duvall face and general demeanor in her roles and outside her roles that I never quite understood. Sometimes, she looked absolutely beautiful, in an innocent, naive way, a hit otherworldly even sometimes. Some other times, she looked like an ugly duckling, but more like a broken doll or a woman who spent her childhood being bullied and had internalised it. That's how I feel watching her in The Shining: exhausted mother, exhausted and dominated wife, yet resourceful and capable when she needs to be, in spite of being utterly terrified. Wendy deserves to be counted among the Final Girls. And one of the best, because she's not only trying to save herself, but save her child.

    In the "I didn't know they were still alive" department, I've just heard that sexologist and talk show host Ruth Westheimer passed away on july 12th, aged 96.

    I must say that, living in France, the only acquaintance I had of her was from viewings of old time Saturday Night Live, and the comic book mini-series Batman : The Dark Knight Returns.

    RIP Jacoby Jones - another former Baltimore Raven dead at a young age. He was one of the most electric, fun players to watch in his prime and was absolutely instrumental in the team winning their most recent championship. The Flock will never forget you Jacoby!

    RIP James Sikking. Terrific actor. Check out his scene with Gene Hackman in Narrow Margin, directed by recurring colaborator Peter Hyams.



    He also worked with Sean Connery in Hyams' Outland.

    R.I.P to Douglass Fake. Perhaps not a familiar name to many, but he was the founder and boss of Intrada Records which hss been releasing soundtrack CDs for the best part of forty years. Many great scores from well known composers that would never have seen the light of day but for his commitment to sourcing and recording their work.

    The 70s were a very comfortable place to be with Bob Newhart and his television show. And the guy who could successfully phone it in.

    A good life lived by him.

    I did enjoy the Franco-Belgian animated series based on (later episodes are more 'inspired by') the comics. I liked them as a wee lad and I revisited the series a few years ago and still liked it. Have been meaning to read the comics ever since, but never came around to actually do it...

    This morning my grandmother passed away. She was a big part of my upbringing and she taught me many things (not in the least a more than adequate knowledge of French since she was raised in Brussels).

    We shared quite a few passions and I enjoyed very much talking with her about her experiences when she was younger in a world so different than the one of today.

    She reached a very respectable age, but with someone you love so dearly it's always going to hurt regardless.
