Goodbye Sydney Pollack

[flippyshark]

I was always glad to see Sydney Pollack on screen, and loved many of the films he directed. Just a few days ago, I was watching his interview footage on the extras of the newest edition of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, and I was thinking about how much Pollack's scenes grounded that film. There was something about his camera presence that made me feel like I was watching someone I knew personally. (Unlike the far-too-fabulous-for-you Tom and Nicole.) He'll be very much missed.
