WES ANDERSON/ PETER BOGDANOVICH INTERVIEW (PART 1 of 3)

[shegotyagood]

thanks for uploading...'they all laughed' is truly an under-appreciated film. i saw it when it was first released, and i fell in love. So bittersweet to remember how sad it was to hear of Stratten's brutal murder just two weeks post filming.

[ScrapNfight]

Bogdanovich isn't the best judge of films, let alone his own work. He bases how he thinks of his films in terms of the experience of having made it or the way it was perceived afterwards by the critics. Overall he comes off as an unhappy person. I do admire his brutal honesty

[FetaCheese222]

@ScrapNfight Don't most directors base what they think of their films on how they felt making it?

[yougotitjerky]

You people need to chill the fuck out. Bogdanovich has directed a huge amount of amazing movies, has been a pioneering film historian since his early twenties and continuing on into the 00's and was/is genuinely close with innumerable heroes like Cassavetes, Welles and Lewis. Any self-respecting film fan has to at least have a begrudging respect for his massive technical skill and knowledge if nothing else.

[PTFAbedeh]

those drinking glasses are so weird...

[viniciusb]

The camera guy shooting this interview is pretty amazing.

[wilsondylanmccartney]

I'm so sick of Peter. It seems like every Hitchcock dvd I get, he's on there, claiming to be his best friend, and knowing all of Hitchcock's thoughts, his notions, his every reason for doing this or that. Give me a break. When I watch Peter here, I don't even see a real person; I see 100% ego. And it's sad, that he's that way. I've never watched any of Peter's movies, and to be honest, I don't ever plan to. This dude needs to read The Seat of the Soul, by Gary Zukav, over and over, and over.

[dirkbogarde44]

@wilsondylanmccartney Watch The Last Picture show. You might not be so harsh afterwards.

[FetaCheese222]

@wilsondylanmccartney Hey, if you directed The Last Picture Show, then you can act like you're Ghandi's best friend for all I care.

Seriously though, the fact that you base your opinion on the guy based on special features on Hitchcock DVDs shows you probably don't know all that much about him.

[HYMMONS]

Peter B - the greatest!

[kfag101]

He was beyond destroyed when goregous sweet dorothy was murdered

[wangster7247]

this guy's a real creep. hope he dies of a heart attack.

[zzap999]

So a beautiful women finally falls in love with the ugly looking Peter Bogdanovich only because she was in a tough situation at the time. Other than that Dorothy would of never given him a second look. That's why the ugly Peter Bogdanovich blamed Hugh Hefner for her murder. Get over it dude. Mother nature was just caught sleeping during that moment in time. It was never meant to be.

[Hudsucker94]

wow,someones bitter. Bogdonavich is a great director. Anderson, not at all.

[TheWitcherFanboy]

@zzap999 Are u jealous because you are ugly,and you will never have a beautiful women?Yeah,its just not fair,Peter, who is almost as ugly as you got such great pussy,and you wont get any...ever....

[zzap999]

@TheWitcherFanboy Getting great pussy? Anybody can get that whether they can get it for free or not. The problem I have with Peter is that ugly people like him need to be vultures to get some. Furthermore, he formed this fake illusion that some love bond ever formed. It didn't. He was just a comfort pillow. Finally, he blames everyone for her death. Why? Because something was taken from him that he never really had.

[zzap999]

@zzap999 These women go nude because they were abused as children. So they end up having sex with anyone no matter the age to re-enact their abuse. Peter was just too pathetic and naive to think that anything beyond physical ever formed. So he got pussy. Fine, congratulations. Just don't hype it up beyond that. You call me ugly? I'm 40 years old and I don't look it. I still get carted for buying alcohol.

[Tennislover777]

I adore Peter, hes such an angel.

[GeddyYeti2112]

Wes reminds me of Spike Jonze.

[cocomand123]

Correct me if i'm wrong but i feel that Michael Winner is a massive influence on Bogdanovich- FOR EXAMPLE the silent first 5 minutes of 'They all laughed' isnt from 'Rio Bravo' but from 'the mechanic'. And the introductory shot of new york taken in a vehicle going over a bridge is influenced by 'Death Wish' or 'Death Wish III'

[JoeMancoBlondie]

funny

[TheJoeyD27]

Something we all wish we could be.

[vikinghaven]

Peter is a pig to have had an affair with a 20 year old Dorothy when he knew she was married to a pimp wacko. Peter got uglier with age, not that he was ever easy on the eyes. If he wasn't a director he never would've gotten any pretty woman.

[jenns555]

@vikinghaven Wow. Astute, dude. You point out the obvious for a living?

[TheWitcherFanboy]

@vikinghaven yes....peter is...but Woody Allen married his own daughter, but hey, its all ok, because guess what....Peter is Serbian,and Woody Allen is a jew...

[TheJoeyD27]

Ha, ha....so true.

[TheJoeyD27]

PB is a guy that has everything, and nothing at the same time. Somebody should write a movie about this guy's life.

[withlotsabutta]

Great comment!

[jdollinter]

He dumped his talented wife Polly Platt so he could chase after 21 y/o Cybil Shepard and other delectable young Women.

[mommyimadeapoopy]

anderson seems really uneasy. is he always like this or is he just intimidated by bogdanovich?

[withlotsabutta]

I don't think it's either. I think he's what my kindly grandmother would dub "an odd duck." lol!

[matthaufan97]

Is this on the DVD of the movie

[vikinghaven]

Yes, this is on the dvd for the movie.

[LittleD3]

@withlotsabutta haha that comment calling Wes Anderson an odd duck made me laugh so hard i read it to my mom, she agrees with you big time. haha

[acmedressform]

he's a director, i don't think he is easily intimidated

[queeniefox]

He's always like that to some extent.

[theskyhawkfiles]

@mommyimadeapoopy I just like how much water he drinks.

[withlotsabutta]

@theskyhawkfiles LOL!

[hoffmann9471]

Great interview / discussion of them. Bogdanovich is great at all.

[withlotsabutta]

They were lovers, never married.

[MedavogFanSite]

My mom says that Bogdanovich was married to Cybil Shepherd.

[vikinghaven]

Peter never married Cybil. She left him.
