quintessential tempermental artist.

82yo

I always remember him for being with Dorothy Stratton.

I'll never forget that long kick he made to beat the broncos.

And with Cybil Shepherd. A director or producer's age/looks don't matter to these young, silly women looking for fame.

I did a double-take when I heard the news. I just watched the Last Picture Show a few days ago. He was a great film historian. That's what I'll remember him for most.

Paper Moon and What’s Up Doc are classics.

RIP…

No clue who this guy is but RIP anyway.

Same here. IIRC he was completely obsessed with her, and she kicked him to the curb in favor of the guy who ended up killing her.

I don't think I've ever seen any of his movies.

His son Bogdan must be very sad

Younger generations may remember him as Dr. Melfi's shrink in the Sopranos.

Lost a great movie man. Had encyclopedic knowledge of movie history and made a string of fantastic pictures of his own in the early 70s.

I think it was the other way around.

RIP

Sad. He directed some of the episodes of The Sopranos. And The Last Picture Show is a tremendous film. Jeff Bridges, Sybil Shepherd, Chloris Leachman. Great film. Has Sybil Shepherd nude, too.

And What's Up, Doc? is an under-rated classic:

"You're just ... different."
"I'm sorry. I'll change. From now on, I'll be the same."
"The same as what?"
"People who aren't different."

The courtroom scene at the end:

"Do you know why I take this yellow pill?"
"No, sir."
"It's to remind me to take this blue pill. Do you know why I take this blue pill?"
No, sir."
"Neither do I. They're afraid to tell me."

Why do series shows have different directors and not one director like a movie?

The Last Picture Show was a great ****in' movie. R.I.P.

You are correct. Her estranged husband killed her when she went to see him to attempt to amicably wrap up their divorce.

It's been 40+ years. I'm a little foggy on what I did yesterday.
