Re: Passages
I just went to the location of the climactic ending of "House Of Bamboo" last month only to find it converted to a beer garden. I went a few years ago and the area still had the kids train ride and a few other things rusting away, but it's all cleaned up now.
Yamaguchi had a very interesting life, and looking forward to the Hirokazu Koreeda biopic.

Missed from a couple of weeks ago, Jane Baker, who wrote with her husband as "Pip and Jane Baker". Most famous for writing Doctor Who back in the 80s and creating the Rani, but also wrote the rather bonkers (and VERY British) Night of the Big Heat for Terence Fisher.

Re: Passages
I love Night of the Big Heat! Even though due to its title I always get the film mixed up with The Earth Dies Screaming and also keep mixing up Peter Cushing's presence here with his role in Island of Terror! But what other film features a Professor on a rambling holiday pondering the existence of aliens over a relaxing drink in the local pub! (Not until The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy at least!)
Very sad news about George Sluizer - I wonder how recent the new interview with him on Criterion's reissue of The Vanishing coming out next month was?

Re: Passages
Wheeler will be missed—an original, versatile, and highly underrated (especially in the US) horn player/composer.
It's great when a musician can keep playing and recording quality music until the end, and I look forward to hearing Wheeler's final work when ECM releases it.

The wonderful actor-dancer-painter-photographer-scupltor, Geoffrey Holder. Between Live and Let Die, Annie, and his ubiquitous 7-Up commercials, he was a big part of my childhood.

Re: Passages
YIKES. I've worked in academia before (which to me includes museums) and it's ridiculous how it's such a conniving, backstabbing field to work in.
