Film director Peter Bogdanovich died on January 6, 2022.
Here’s a great article from a man who found a better version of one of Bogdanovich’s films on eBay.
Overwhelmingly significant piece 2: @jfkenney reports that Peter Bogdanovich's much longer and much different director's cut of Squirrels to the Nuts—the movie that was ultimately released as She's Funny That Way—exists: https://t.co/PLsIt1pRcX

For now, word here: Squirrels to the Nuts, Peter Bogdanovich's cut of his last fiction film (released in altered form under the title She's Funny That Way), rescued by @jfkenney + screening @MoMAFilm is a fascinating surprise that reveals much about his art—and auteurship itself.

I & Eric Eisenberg at @MoMAFilm last night for the screening of Peter Bogdanovich's SQUIRRELS TO THE NUTS. Eric is the gentleman who purchases storage lockers in arrears & sells his findings on eBay…furniture, knicknacks…

Co-writer and producer Louise Stratten and Adria Petty are introducing Peter Bogdanovich's SQUIRRELS TO THE NUTS tonight at 6 at @MoMAFilm. The event of the evening! pic.twitter.com/vIsnpTSYWY
Peter Bogdanovich had a YouTube channel where he uploaded old videos of himself reviewing classic films. Check it out. They are a class in film history.https://t.co/rJIZuz9n8O pic.twitter.com/EMjsFFgcbw

I just posted on YouTube a one hour talk on the cinema Peter Bogdanovich did in 1998! Watch it! No one has seen it, even Peter hadn't seen it! It took a lot for a dummy like me to figure out how to upload videos! I feel like a hacker! https://t.co/94OuoArcc2 pic.twitter.com/s4YJtlyhAz

Just a reminder that Peter Bogdanovich made a dazzling film in the 21st century, SQUIRRELS TO THE NUTS, but it was hacked to bits w/ forced reshoots.

It has been saved in its pristine Bogdanovichian form & is being screened two more times this year in the U.S. and then in Europe. pic.twitter.com/Htuc3udjVx
i promised Peter in a phone call around Christmas time in 2021, before he passed away heartrendingly and unexpectedly a few weeks later, that i'd help him clear the rights on They All Laughed, (his once Lost Masterpiece) so it could show on cable and streaming, something that pic.twitter.com/00rBBiurN9
