RIP George Hickenlooper

announced by A.C. by sms.
dupa imdb:

Director George Hickenlooper has passed away at age 47. Best known for directing the 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse--on the making of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now--Hickenlooper was preparing for the release of Casino Jack. The Hickenlooper-directed drama stars Kevin Spacey as disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. George was so excited to see the picture finds its way to release through Ato Pictures, after showing it at numerous festivals this year, and he was particularly proud of the performance turned in by Spacey. The film will open December 17 in New York and Los Angeles. He leaves behind a son, Charles.

Herbie Hancock la Sala Palatului

ca e obicei se pare ca unii oameni s-au dus nepregatiti la Hancock. Scrie acolo IMAGINE PROJECT TOUR, si te intrebi de ce cinta Don't Give Up, si Times Are A Changin' si Imagine ? Well, de aia. Si Kristin Train e minunata, si ca prezenta si ca singe norvegian, si ca voce si ca violonista. Si restul trupei, Greg Phillinganes-keyboards, vocal, (care a mai fost in Ro cu Michael Jackson), Lionel Loueke-guitar, James Genus-bass, Trevor Lawrence Jr-drums. Prezentarile lui Herbie H., calde, extrem de inteligente si prezenta a la Denzel si Miles, placerea lor de a cinta si tempoul (2 ore si 20 the whole gig), probabil concertul de jazz al anului la Bucuresti !
*Nicholas Cage care filmeaza Ghost Rider 2 la noi a fost si el la concert, eu nu
l-am vazut, dar el l-a vazut dupa aia in culise pe Herbie si probabil ca ua fost la un schpritz impreuna! eu am fost cu Terje la Charlatans si la "the black lodge" Che Pasa, asta e, ficare cu ce are si ce poate ! El inchide Transfagarasanul, noi circiumile halloweeniene :)
