One of the last bastions of quality has fallen...

Robert Altman, director of M*A*S*H, Short Cuts, Gosford Park and many other great films, has died aged 81.

To be fair, he has made his share of dross (Pret-a-Porter anyone?) but when he was on top of his game he made some of the greatest films in the history of film making. To my mind, M*A*S*H alone guarantees him a spot in any list of greatest directors.

*sigh*
