R.I.P.
Sidney Lumet (1924-2011)
Shown here in 1975, on the set of Dog Day Afternoon with Al Pacino, Lumet directed some of the finest films of the last fifty years (12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon, Network), as well a handful of really good ones (Serpico, The Verdict, Running on Empty, Before the Devil Knows Your Dead).
He died this morning at his home in Manhattan.
tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?
My favorite inanimate object would have to be my running shoes. They can either go with me when I feel like releasing some endorphines, or they can simply sit on the floor, looking at me, reminding me. Just like they are now.
