If he'd only died after...

Pfft, Lucas after Star Wars is too easy.

Naw, this isn't too nasty a thread. We don't have to be wishing death upon people ... just the good sense to know when the decline has hit their talent and the better sense to stop right there.

Ok, with most folks .... death is the only thing that works.

With Altman, btw ... he'd long since grown out of his own morbid "Stiggs" phase ... and I wouldn't call one unmasterpiece film (Praire Home Companion) coming after one great film (Gosford Park) the kind of shark jump that I'd like to see stop artists in their tracks. There are plenty of artists who've sunk to clunker after clunker. I can't think of any right now, but I'll be sure to post them here when I do.
