Dom Deluise has died

Sad news. Captain Chaos has passed away. TMZ had the news.

We've just learned that Dom DeLuise -- who starred in such classics as "The Cannonball Run", "Blazing Saddles" and was the voice of Pizza the Hutt in "Spaceballs" -- died last night in a Los Angeles hospital.

We're told he passed away peacefully in his sleep at around 6 PM.

I remember watching The Cannonball Run as a kid and just loving the way Dom and Burt worked together. He'll be missed.

When Will Then Be Now

I was recently asked by This is Now, a unique European collaborative art project to give my thoughts on what Now means to a fan of film. I wrote a nice little piece for it and included a flm scene that I think defines Now.

This is the first part of my article

“Now. You’re looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.” - Col Sandurz, Spaceballs.

What is now?

Film is all about Now.

Every film has a scene that defines now. It is usually the quiet moments when the plot is well under way and the main characters wait for the inevitable. Whether it be bad or good, it is all now.....

Head on over and take a look at the full piece and leave comments or rate it if you wish. I'd love to know what you think of it. Thanks to Violette for getting it all sorted.
