Waaay too long, but worth the read. Interesting that he thought Cher sucked.

This interview originally ran in 2019. We are republishing it following the death of Peter Bogdanovich on January 6, 2022.

In Conversation: Peter Bogdanovich The director on his films, marriage and infidelity, and the deaths he didn’t mourn.

I just skimmed it, but it's a very interesting read. I'll have to go back to it.

My conclusion, though, is that I wouldn't have really liked this guy much if I had known him.

I highly recommend The Great Buster if you enjoy documentaries. He really appreciated Buster Keaton.

Thanks for this. . . Excellent tribute to a master.

I hadn't seen his time on Candid Camera. . . . The scene in the deli where he's at the lunch-counter having all sorts of trouble with his meal, . . . when he

Spoiler!

sneezes his toupee into his soup

. . . .

One of the most memorable cinema experiences in my entire life was when my dad took us to see a revival of The General at The Midland with all the pomp and circumstance [and of course organ accompaniment] of the golden era.

An all-time classic film, and still perhaps the funniest I've ever seen. Anyone who hasn't ever seen it, it deserves a full audience. The clips are funny, but the rhythm of the entire movie just builds and builds and needs to be seen in it's entirety. [it's rated the '18th' greatest film ever made, and is the only silent film on the list]

EDIT - and of course the Candid Camera clip exists on youtube
