"Chinatown" is a brilliant movie: one that's as relevant today as it was when it premiered.

He will be missed.

Towne was a complicated man but a screenwriting legend. Shampoo, The Last Detail and the imperfect but often brilliant lesbian sports drama Personal Best (a clear precursor to Challengers) stay with me especially.

I do wonder if his Chinatown prequel series with David Fincher for Netflix will now happen.

[!@#$%^&*].

Doug Sheehan always reminded me of James Stewart with his boyish good looks, quirky sense of humor and easy-going nature.  No matter what kind of vehicle he was in - whether it was a soap (like GH or KL) or a sitcom ("Day by Day") or some cheesy TV movie - he always brought a sense of integrity to his role.  (Which is why watching his exit storyline on KL is REALLY hard for me, because you could tell he was struggling with that material, for a number of reasons).

I always wanted GH to bring him back (on a recurring basis) as Joe Kelly: still a gumshoe, still funny and charming, but maybe a little more weary on account of age and having seen it all many times over.  Ah, well.
