Topic: R.I.P Irvin Kershner

Director of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, arguably the best film in the series, in my opinion a highly inspirational guy...

Re: R.I.P Irvin Kershner

I've never heard of him, now I wish I had mini/sad .

And in my opinion, The Empire Strikes Back was the best. Except when Luke starts to cry like a baby (c'mon, man up Luke).

Don't be fooled, my avatar is a facade of conformity.

Re: R.I.P Irvin Kershner

He directed one of my favorite movies 'Eyes of Laura Mars'.

Re: R.I.P Irvin Kershner

I'd just like to point out that that was in reference to the lateness of this thread.  I could be wrong but I thought we talked about this in Café Corner when it happened.

Anyway I'm obviously a fan of ESB, I haven't seen any of Kershner's other work.  He was quite old though, I remember being surprised he was still alive when they made the commentaries for the DVD release a few years back.

Re: R.I.P Irvin Kershner

I always enjoyed interviews which starred Irvin Kershner they were rather inspirational.

They are substantially less awesome ways, though, Mr. Rank: Immature

mod edit: no thanks

Re: R.I.P Irvin Kershner

Has anybody listened to the commentary on the Empire Strikes Back DVD? Because Kershner is in it and it's often pretty interesting.

Re: R.I.P Irvin Kershner

I have indeed listened to it. He's the best part mini/bigsmile
