HST's suicide leaves me feeling gut-punched. Oddly, not really *surprised*--I never saw him expiring peacefully in bed, or anything. But shocked, and kind of old and emptied out, and deeply sad.
I disagree about the film, offhand; it's got its problems, but I think it gets a lot of the rhythm of the language and I like the way it ultimately takes responsibility for its own excesses.
