    Default 'Mr Movies', Bill Collins, dead



    When I was a young boy, Bill Collins fostered a love of cinema in me that exists to this day.
    His encyclopedic knowledge and enthusiasm for the art of film making was a pleasure to behold.

    Vale Bill.

    That sums him up succinctly.

    He was an entertainer in his own right.

    Stunned he was still alive frankly.......
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
