I should have been there sooner,so I missed the first half, but I just saw a sizeable chunk of Altman's A Prairie Home Companion.

Did me a world of good.

Tommy Lee Jones (the Evangelical-corporate Axeman) who is escorted to a fall off a cliff by Miss Death, looked like Rupert Murdoch. Kevin Kline, who plays a useless theatre manager, looks like Charlie Chaplin. Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin sing in harmony a deadpan and lengthy song about how they miss their mom, that plumbs McGonagall depths. Every shot, every sequence, breathes. I love Altman.
