Some of you may remember David Ehrenstein from Salon/World Crossing. He was a member of one of my other groups, so I heard that he had passed away earlier this week - [link] Admittedly, he was not one of my favorite people, but part of me mourns the loss of one of the old school Salon folks.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I'd heard the news, and seen it pointed out that no newspapers or other credible news sources had picked up the story as of late this afternoon. Which gives me the mental image of a ouija board angrily venting outrage in all caps at newspaper columnists.
Not to be shady, but is his death news to a credible news organization? Would it be reported?
Maybe not. I understand his partner passed away a couple of years ago, so there might not be anyone with a clear responsibility to contact any of the places that featured his work in the past.

You are always welcome, erikaj!
I love SWN. One of the few noirs that played on TV as a kid. Reading your perspective on it makes me realize it would make a good double feature with KIMI.
I'm glad they have done a lot of restorations--makes classics easier to enjoy.
