BTW, have you read "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls?" The stuff on Altman is really entertaining.

I didn't read it but probably should.

I used to see Altman all the time in Upper West Side restaurants. I love his movies.

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls is about the revolution in film that ran roughly from 1969-1980. Very fun read (equal parts analysis of the films and dish about the people behind them) and inspired me to go out and rent a lot of those terrific films I'd never seen. The 1970s was a great decade for film.
