Sidney Pollack tribute
I felt the “quickie” or “aside” post I made about Sidney Pollack passing away was perhaps a bit too little. I really loved his stuff. He was also an actor, and did quite a bit of acting. I think that one of the best things I’ve seen him do, however, was the Cingular commercial that you saw while going to the movies, when they tell you “silence your cellphones”. (video after the bump)
Yes, we know he did the movies like “Out of Africa” and “Tootsie” (directed) but he also produced and starred in “Michael Clayton” as well as many other movies and shows you probably didn’t think he was in. Take a look at his IMDB profile and see for yourself. Sidney got around.
It’s just getting sad the people I grew up watching are passing away, like cybr said. It’s just crazy. It’s a great reminder that I’m just getting old. But I’m not even that old! I’ll be turning 40 this year, so this is my “Around 40″ time. Ironically, there’s a Japanese dorama called “Around 40″ but I won’t get into it just yet. Soon.
