RIP: Irvin Kershner

More sad news today, director Irvin Kershner has died. In many ways he's a little known director, but to every chimp he is the man responsible for lifting the Star Wars saga from 'blockbuster' to 'epic'. His fantastic touch on The Empire Strikes Back elevated Star Wars into a totally different league, with classy assured direction and some beautifully storyboarded scenes - particularly those light on effects. A true master.

RIP: JD Salinger

RIP J.D. Salinger, author and legend. Despite penning uber-classic The Catcher In The Rye, Salinger has been reclusive and unpublished since 1965 - although allegedly writing constantly. Time will tell.
