Bob Rafelson Dead at 89

Five Easy Pieces, Head, Stay Hungry, King Of Marvin Gardens, and the 1981 version of Postman Always Rings Twice, as well as one of the primary creative forces behind the Monkees.
He's one of the B's in BBS. If the Criterion sale is still going on, this would be a great time to snag that set and celebrate his work.

Easy Rider, too. The guy was a colorful figure, that's for certain. For The Monkees alone, dayenu. RIP to a Hollywood legernd.

Five Easy Pieces is close to great. I read in a book recently that he was immensely pompous.

RIP

His death did not get any media attention?
