Notebook Soundtrack Mixes: "Hyper Sleep"
29 August 2011 4:54 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Welcome to the first Notebook Soundtrack Mix—Hyper Sleep! A word about the mix: There's no thematic thread through this collection, it's a variety of intriguing music. In making soundtrack mixes, I'm drawn to the subjective qualities of association and meaning that arise from experiencing the musical narratives that result from transitions and combinations of tracks in succession. Though there are several favorite films, Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill, for one, individual pieces are chosen simply for the music. I haven't seen some of the films. Robert Drasnin, Vladimir Cosma and Antoine Duhamel are represented with curious French T.V. work, rather than with some of their more well known output (The Kremlin Letter, Diva and Pierrot le fou, respectively.) Maybe this is the first of a series…I have several ideas for themed mixes, but wanted to start this way, including work that reflects jazz, classical, experimental and pop influences. »
Michael Gough obituary

Actor with poise and presence, best known as Alfred the butler in Tim Burton's Batman
The actor Michael Gough, who has died aged 94, was an arresting presence on stage, television and film for the entire postwar period, notably as the butler Alfred Pennyworth in Tim Burton's Batman movies. Eventually he just voiced roles, as with the Dodo Bird in the same director's Alice in Wonderland film last year, but always to striking effect.
Gough started in the Old Vic company in London before the second world war, but it took till 1946 for his career proper to get off to a flying start in the West End, in Frederick Lonsdale's But for the Grace of God. The fistfight-to-the-death scene was done with such startling verisimilitude that nearly all the stage furniture was demolished nightly, and Gough broke three ribs and injured the base of his spine. So copiously »

Veteran British character actor Michael Gough has passed away aged 94 after a lengthy battle with illness, having enjoyed a career spanning seven decades and over 150 roles. Born in Kuala Lumpur in 1916, Gough first appeared in the 1946 TV movie Androcles and the Lion before making the transition to the silver screen two years later with a supporting part in producer Alexander Korda's adaptation of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina (1948, dir. Julien Duvivier). Other notable early screen credits included Richard III (1955, dir. Lawrence Olivier) and Reach for the Sky (1956, dir. Lewis Gilbert) along with a number of British horrors including Terence Fisher's Dracula (1958) and The Phantom of the Opera (1962) from Hammer Films.
Receiving a BAFTA TV Award in 1957, Gough continued to make extensive television appearances on cult shows such as Doctor Who, The Avengers, Blake's 7 and Colditz. He was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor BAFTA for his work in The Go-Between (1972, dir. »

Michael Gough Dies: Batman, The Go-between, The Skull
17 March 2011 3:47 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Michael Gough, whose only important role in his 60-year career — if news reports are to be believed — seems to have been that of Batman's butler in Tim Burton's 1989 film and its sequels, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin, died earlier today. Gough was either 93 or 94, depending on the source. Those whose idea of movie history is restricted to Hollywood blockbusters made in the last three decades would have no idea — and wouldn't care less, really — that among Gough's other film credits, almost invariably in supporting roles, are Julien Duvivier's hauntingly beautiful version of Anna Karenina (1948), starring Vivien Leigh; Alexander Mackendrick's brilliant comedy The Man in the White Suit (1951), with Alec Guinness; Joseph Losey's superb class drama The Go-Between (1971), as Julie Christie's father (a role that earned him a Best Supporting Actor British Academy Award nomination); and a series of cult [...] »

Michael Gough, the beloved British character actor whom many will remember from the pre-Chris Nolan "Batman" movies, has passed away aged 94. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Gough made his film debut in 1947 in "Blanche Fury" and went on to achieve fame in British television.
He made two memorable appearances as villains in "Doctor Who" - first as the titular villain of the second Doctor serial "The Celestial Toymaker" in 1966, then as a Time Lord councillor in league with Omega in the fifth Doctor serial "Arc of Infinity" in 1983. He also married Anneke Wills, an actress who played one of the Doctor's companions on the show.
Gough's other memorable small screen turns include a famous episode of "The Avengers" as the wheelchair-bound Dr. Armstrong, and his role as the British Prime Minister in Ian Curteis' "Suez 1956".
His big screen credits are even more impressive with key roles in Harold Pinter's "The Go-Between, »
