rest in peace sydney pollack

one of the greats in the film world has passed on at age 74.

he directed many great films including tootsie, out of africa, the firm, the way we were, and the interpreter.  he produced more, from cold mountain to searching for bobby fischer.  as an actor, he made an unforgettable performance in eyes wide shut, in addition to the player, husbands and wives, and of course will & grace.

i don't know.  to me personally, i feel like he's another of that great generation of filmmakers that made the greatest films ever and now they seem to be dying off.  it is very sad.
