RIP Irvin Kershner

I think it's kind of fitting that a man famous for several sequels, most notably The Empire Strikes Back, is the second in the "rule of three" mythos.

I'd like to think of it that he is just permanently frozen in carbonite. RIP.

RIP. I watched Never Say Never Again last night, and Robocop II is a favorite as well.

Yeah, it was a neat little film although the twist was a little weak.

A very solid director who could could put out at least an average film. RIP.

Actually he is the 3rd in the "rule of three". All within 5 days of each other.

So sad. The man made some great movies. I might rewatch Never Say Never Again tonight in his honor.

I was 14 when it came out and must have seen it a dozen times at the $1 theater downtown.
