Faithful Dog No Lassie

Sad news, but from the "Doesn't bother us because we're still alive, & it could have been us" file.

Director Quentin Tarantino's longtime film editor, who went hiking with her dog amid the extreme heat Monday, was discovered dead early Tuesday morning by searchers in Bronson Canyon, according to law-enforcement sources.

Award-winning film editor Sally Menke, 56, worked on such movies as "Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill" and "Jackie Brown."

Menke's body was found just after 2 a.m. at the bottom of a ravine near the 5600 block of Green Oak Drive in Bronson Canyon.

Her dog was sitting next to her body, which was about a football field's length from nearby homes.

Also about a football field or two's length from the Bronson caves, where we hike when we get off our lard-filled ass. Glad we had no desire to do fuck-all yesterday or today.
