Cinematic genius and legend Ingmar Bergman died today .
If you're looking for a way to commemorate his passing, rent Wild Strawberries , The Seventh Seal , or Fanny and Alexander . But before you insert any of the DVD's, open a nice bottle of wine and oil up the brain for some existential pondering.
Other reasons to mourn today...
My hopes are dashed.
I am, however, looking forward to Martin's memoirs, which come out in December. The title is
Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life
.

Steve Martin is lovely. I especially enjoy his charming novellas.
