Director Robert Altman
(Robert Altman/EPIX)
Director Robert Altman left an indelible mark not only on
cinema but also on the culture. His films—"M*A*S*H," "McCabe & Mrs.
Miller," "Nashville," "The Player," "Short Cuts," "Gosford Park," and "A
Prairie Home Companion"—defied Hollywood conventions. Kathryn Reed Altman, Robert Alman’s widow, and the actor Bob Balaban discuss the filmmaker’s influential work and uncompromising vision, and the new documentary, "Altman," directed by filmmaker Ron Mann. Altman premieres on EPIX on August 6 at 8pm.

Perhaps it was indeed his lack of predictability that made most of his movies, putting MASH aside, uninteresting to me.
Perhaps most people do prefer a degree of predictability in their lives and entertainment, and not just a series of disruptions. That's more for the young. Chaos is for the young; stability for most of the others.

M*A*S*H* was the destination for
my first date. So, of course, Altman's films are a part of me. Some
more than others but none of his work was ever predictable...never
boring.
