A good question from The Hot Blog:

What The HELL?!?!?!

Ingmar Bergman.

Tom Snyder.

Bill Walsh.

Michel Serrault.

Ulrich Mühe.

Now, Michelangelo Antonioni.

What is going on out there?

Michelangelo Antonioni, who has died aged 94, was the least Italianate of great Italian filmmakers. A glacial anatomist of love, despair and the alienating tropes of modern life, he seemed to come from another country and culture than the one inhabited by Fellini, De Sica, Visconti, Pasolini and Bertolucci.

The passing of a Golden Age of cinema.

Of television.

Of sport

Inevitable.

But all at once?

What the hell . . .

Indeed.
