Russ Meyer dies at age 82

Re: Russ Meyer dies at age 82

Yep. Completely bummed me out. Up! is one of my fave films.

Here's a blurb from the Toronto Star:

He has been likened to a trailer-trash Warhol, embraced as a closet feminist and championed as an uncompromising auteur. His work has been studied, celebrated and curated in cinematheques and festivals from Tokyo to Moscow and traces of his high-trash style are evident in the work of everyone from John Waters and David Lynch to Quentin Tarantino and Tim Burton. He has left a legacy, but he probably wouldn't care.
. . .
If we're allowed to enter paradises of our own making when we go, his heaven will be one hell of a place.

And Faster pussycat is a master piece.
Died a piece of art, at least someone who tried to do some art.
