Rest in Peace, Robert Wise

Robert Wise died yesterday at the age of 91. To geeks like us, he will always be remembered as not only the director of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but also The Day the Earth Stood Still. He directed a whole slew of classic movies, like The Haunting, Run Silent, Run Deep, The Sound of Music, West Side Story and The Andromeda Strain. He also edited a film that is widely considered to be the greatest American film of all time, Citizen Kane. Rest in peace, you will be missed.

I just purhased all ten Star Treks on DVD. I watched every extra feature with this man. Kind + Wise. The rest of Hollywood could have learned a lot from this man.
