His stories are quite unique, he knew a great many people from Corran to Wells

2022 is really not starting off well

I like Last Picture Show the most out of his films but I think I respect him more as an historian of the medium more than anything else. His interviews with Welles, Truffaut and others are all great. Heck, the fact he was involved in getting The Other Side of the Wind finished and released is nothing short of a miracle.

Sidney and now Peter, 2022 already sucks....

Paper Moon is a great movie.
Last Picture Show might be, too, I don't know - I was very young when I saw it and all I remember is sex and nudity.
Oh, and Noises Off is hysterical.
RIP, Mr. Bogdanovich.

I do need to hunt out his interviews..
I love his anecdotes about Orson and how he ran past quite a few of his ideas past him first.
On telling Mr Wells he wanted to make The Last Picture in B/W but was scared the studio wouldn't let him make it...
Orson replied "Well dear boy have you asked them"..
