George Fasel

I've only just now come across Aaron's post pointing to sad and stunning news. George Fasel, who wrote one of the very best film-related blogs out there, A Girl and a Gun, passed away on Wednesday. Though I never met George, this is a rough blow.

George's wife, Ruth, writes that he "relied on the Film Forum in New York City, www.filmforum.org, to see hard-to-find films and films which he thought were still best seen the old way. Contributions can be made in his memory to support this resource." She explains how.

Regular readers will know that just about each and every time George posted a new entry, I'd link to it. His clear, astute writing was simply that consistently valuable. I wanted to select a handful of entries that were particular favorites of mine, but there are too many. Instead, just one.
