Peered in at Third Eye Film today, after many months (the site had mostly gone silent this year), and saw new posts from Syd and Lorne informing that Marc Campbell had died, Dec. 21, age 73. 

 A shock, as deaths are when they come for people still active and connected. Though I am now myself slouching into the age demographic where it is easier to see there are no guarantees, no matter what the actuarial tables say. 73 always seems premature, but not at odds with his rock/punk sensibilities. (nor is his absence from wikipedia, where the only Marc Campbell is a baseball player) I thank him for the third eye website which he kept going for so long, and for introducing me to El Topo and other surreal fantasies.
Wow. Sad.

At least he lives on Wikipedia wise hete:

That exact strategy did not work for Llewellyn Moss.   

What is so impressive about that scene is that no incidental music track is used.  It is just exquisite foley work.  The virtuosity of direction, shooting and acting all through the film makes it a well deserved BP winner.  I'm not even bothering to look up what the contenders were that year.

And I am realizing I've seen only one of the GG noms announcedt this week.  As an amateur architect, I am aching to see The Brutalist, among others.  It's really a pretty good year for film, just not a good year for getting those films into multiplexes outside of NYC or LA.
