Jonah Hill: I have the funniest picture from the Knocked Up premiere. My friend who does music supervision for Wes Anderson, he's a great guy, he knows Peter Bogdanovich, and at the Knocked Up premiere, I'm really drunk. It's a picture of me talking to Peter Bogdanovich, and my friend was lucky enough to snap it. I'm drunk and talking his head off, and he's so deeply uninterested, and wants to leave the conversation. I remember saying to him, "What was up with the mesh water-bottle sleeve from The Sopranos?" That's what I kept asking him.
Michael Cera: What does that even mean?
Jonah Hill: Cause he's one of the psychiatrists on The Sopranos, and on one of the last episodes, there was this big mesh holster for his water bottle. I remember thinking "What a strange, interesting choice he's made."
Michael Cera: What did he say?
Jonah Hill: He said "I brought it from home."

Damn! His mid 70s run is incredible, he makes Targets, Last Picture Show, What's Up Doc, Paper Moon back to back, and even post that, some of his flicks like Saint Jack, Mask, and The Cat's Meow are undersung. He was also an incredible film historian, and on every Hitchcock related documentary he had a lot to say. RIP to one of the 60's / 70's greats!

Absolute Legend. Loved most of his films, loved him suddenly popping up on films and shows as an actor, loved his books on films, loved him sharing those great stories about Classic Hollywood. The man was in love with cinema and tried every way possible to show it. Always wished he'd direct more.
His 1968-73 run is legendary but "Noises Off", "Saint Jack", "Mask", "Texasville" are all great stuff. RIP

I was at that NYFF panel that the Hollywood Reporter quotes. Just yesterday I was reading a 2021 interview- Bog said he was gonna shoot a new movie soon (One Lucky Moon, a sort of screwball-Westworld). He was a bright filmmaker..... Targets one of my favorite directorial debuts ever. Paper Moon such a classic. Noises Off so, so hilarious. He was a dedicated film scholar too- books, commentaries, panels,. Maybe my most treasured book is his This Is Orson Welles. Their whole relationship really fascinates me. Bog is a riot in The Other Side of the Wind- in the span of a minute he's doing impressions of James Stewart, John Wayne, Truman Capote... a clever deflecting tool, playing for the cameras, teasing John Huston. He gets the best lines of the (masterpiece) movie - "What did I do wrong daddy? Our revels now are ended?" RIP

Goddamn... I literally just finished watching "The Blue Comet," his last appearance on The Sopranos... with some of the best moments he had on the show.
One of the all-time filmmaking runs from Targets to Paper Moon ... RIP.

This one hurts. Not gonna repeat what others have said about all the things that made him great, but I will mention that on a slightly underdiscussed note, he made my favorite rock doc ever: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down a Dream. Essential viewing whether you're a big Petty fan or not, and an amazing way to spend 4 hours and 19 minutes! Rest easy, legend.

Farewell legend. What an impact he had in so many different ways. It's always been amazing to me how short his time on top as a moviemaker was, and how such a major figure of such a pivotal era was out there all this time just quietly rolling along.
To me even more than his movies, and often hilarious on-screen work (SO good in The Sopranos) it's his stuff more as film historian (books, docs, commentaries) that I appreciate most.

Became a fan just this past year with Picture Show and Paper Moon . RIP good sir.
He's fairly memorable in his little appearances in The Sopranos and HIMYM too.

That's very sad. His start of the 70s with The Last Picture Show, the incredible hilarious What's up Doc? and the witty tragicomical Paper Moon was just fantastic. I really like some of his later movies as well. If you watched his films you really could sense how much this guy loved cinema. Also therefore it's a really big loss.
Requiescat in pace

In a case anyone's interested, director's cut of his last film "Squirrel to the Nuts" (re-titled and released as "She's Funny That Way" by the studio) will be shown on MoMA for the first time. All week long. It's rescued by a fan. Said to be very different than theatrically released version. Different tone, structure, music use, different scenes and even different actors (Stephen Dorff instead of Tarantino).
