Quite annoying. Overall, this year's 'In Memoriam' was probably the least inspired ever (of the ones I've seen). No worries pioneers and celluloid stars, we'll remember and honour you.

With unemployment so high, maybe the greed of corporate profit should be set aside for the hiring of people who do their research and are over 30 years old.
