      Your comment reminded me of my habit of watching old movies and always thinking about how EVERYONE in the movie is dead

        It’s sad if you think about it too much…

        I have a copy of Young Frankenstein with commentary from Mel Brooks. It’s basically how everyone involved in the film, except him, is dead.

        “So this scene, lighting director was absolutely amazing, he’s dead.”
