Hope you all had a great Turkey Day!
First, I'll acknowledge the passing of Leslie Nielsen, star of Forbidden Planet, Airplane! and The Naked Gun. Not a personal favorite but I know he has a lot of fans out there.
It seems that Irvin Kershner, the director of The Empire Strikes Back, has just joined him.
On a lighter note, a number of Honorary Oscars were recently awarded. I'll direct your attention to speeches by two of them: actor Eli Wallach, and film restorer (and David Lean biographer) Kevin Brownlow. Enjoy!
This term is lurching to a conclusion, and I'll be extremely busy for the next two weeks. Don't expect regular reviews, but I'll do my best.
