Russ Meyer R.I.P.

[marknyc]

It hasn't been mentioned here, but we should all be saddened to hear of the passing of filmmaker Russ Meyer last weekend at age 82.

Russ was a brilliant filmmaker who specialized in making films of women. Specifically, women with giant breasts. He made films of top quality and anyone interested in film editing should look to him as a master who puts Scorcese to shame.

Of interest to pop fans, Russ Meyer directed the brilliant by all standards film Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill, which starred the ultra-fucking-amazing Tura Satana and later inspired music videos for Janet Jackson and The Spice Girls.

He will be missed greatly.
