Terribly sad. I was lucky enough to be an undergrad in his courses at UW, in addition to having his & Kristin's books as classroom texts. He was always a dear man whenever we met up again. The knowledge & enthusiasm he shared w/me certainly seeped into FCE all these years later.
Raise a glass tonight to the memory of the great David Bordwell, someone whose kindness and support for fellow writers was as legendary as his scholarship. Deepest condolences to Kristin Thompson.
