One of my favourite actors is gone. Jack Lemmon, maybe the finest comedic actor of his generation, died last night. And although I didn’t find out about it until this morning, someone found my site last night about 9:30 by asking Google: “What kind of cancer did Jack Lemmon die of?” I find that sort of creepy.

I watched the DVD of Unbreakable last night. I thought it was pretty cool, except for the hastily tied up ending. Surely they could have left it a bit more ambiguous, couldn’t they? M. Night Shyamalan (whom everyone calls “Night” in the documentary. Cool.) seems like a great guy, but I’d suggest for his next movie, he casts someone other than Bruce Willis, gets rid of the kids, and remains twist-free. Maybe he could direct the next Adam Sandler flick? Nah, Paul Thomas Anderson is already doing that. By the way, I’m rating all my films over at IMDB now. I’d give Unbreakable an “8″ even despite its weak ending, and the DVD is really nicely put together.
Aflutter with anticipation regarding the July 10 release of Withnail and I:The Criterion Collection, I was searching for info and found the excellent community at CriterionDVD.com. It’s a much better site than the official one, and has a great forums area. If you’re a cinephile, come and join in! Update: June 2002: Due to some bandwidth issues, the site is pretty much closed down. I’ve migrated to the fine film fora over at DVD Talk.
