Russ Meyer is dead
Guardian Unlimited reports Russ Meyer, skin-flick auteur, has died aged 82. This guy was one of the heroes of the early 'Incredibly Strange' Film Festivals back in the mid-1990s. I well remember sitting in the Paramount, watching Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and laughing louder than anyone in the place (with the obvious exception of my trash-film loving psychology lecturer, who was sitting in front of me).

A sad day. RIP Russ.
