...think I could have made this film." It probably also helped that he stopped drinking, though Altman bridles at the suggestion. "I stopped drinking for health reasons. I've never jeopardized anything by either the drinking or the gambling" -- he plays poker, backgammon and the horses -- "or the pot smoking. I do smoke pot. I sit on the front porch like a grandpa and try to enjoy the weather...
While Altman is a big-hearted, risk-taking, pot-smoking, actor-loving paterfamilias (he has five children by three wives, including two by Kathryn Altman, whom he married 32 years ago), he is not always Mr. Mellow. When he thinks a crew member has screwed up or an executive has done him wrong, his anger can be ferocious. Volcanic is the word that two former colleagues use to describe his temper. "It's something to behold," says Trudeau...
...stems from so many sources. It can no longer be dispelled by refuting specific charges -- not all of which are terribly important anyway.

These days, morphing is everywhere. The swamis at Pacific Data Images -- one of the half a dozen California studios competing with ILM -- devised the | melting pot of faces for Michael Jackson's Black or White. Pacific has also changed a car into a running tiger for Exxon and morphed a man's face into a block for Schick razors. The process can be used to fuse separate takes of a scene or restore damaged film frames...
