Like Fred, I'm way behind on reading posts (and have several lengthy
responses in the works already), but I can't let the death of John Ritter go
without a
remark. Ritter appeared in a number of films I'm a fan of, but his best is
Bogdanovich's "They All Laughed." There's an awful irony in that Bogdanovich
intended the story in that film of Ritter and Dorothy Stratten's characters to
be the "sweet" one - to contrast with the "bitter" story of the failed love
affair between Ben Gazzara and Audrey Hepburn's characters - and yet in real
life Stratten and Ritter both died terribly premature deaths.

"They All Laughed" is one of the most magnanimous, sweet-natured films in
modern American film, but it's also marked by tragedy.
