Our favorite film reviewer. I notice these past three weeks on his website he’s limited himself to a single review, with other reviews by guest reviewers. I know all about his health problems of the past decade and that he’s aging but have not heard if he’s taken a sudden turn for the worse or just taking a break.
He broke a hip last month.
Catch his Twitter feed for lots of updates.
Thanks. I don’t use Twitter so did not know.
Here’s his blog post where he talks about breaking his femur.
This has prevented him from viewing many films so his output has dropped. But he seemed to be focusing lately on producing and promoting his latest book, so the reviews and such have been in the back seat for some time.
Given that he didn’t fall or anything to cause this break, plus other recent episodes of concern, it’s pretty clear that his health is getting significantly worse. I don’t think he’s going to last much longer.
Pity.
Rotten luck. I knew a middle-aged man, not even elderly, back in West Texas who fractured his foot in a similar manner, just by walking. Boom, down he went. He was a diabetic though, and I believe he had some other health problems. That may have contributed.
I know a middle aged man who fractured his heel, months ago - the doctors thought it was a sprain and it was over a month before they realized ‘fracture’. Poor guy has been on crutches with a swollen foot for weeks and weeks, it’s not healing well, he is beside himself.
He took a break.
mmm
