Bogdanovich Epilogue: A Word About Biskind and Cher
Because everybody loves a nice, incestuous film blog reach-around (especially on Valentine's Day), allow me to direct you to my good friend Looker, who follows up my Peter Bogdanovich/Targets dispatch from last week with perhaps an even more rewarding batch of comments smuggled out of Film Forum's post-screening Q&A.
And once again, Peter Biskind absorbs the brunt of a filmmaker's hot auteur wrath:
On Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls:
That book is so full of shit. It's not to be believed. I leafed through three pages of it—I thought I was going to be sick to my stomach, and I never opened it again. Coppola wanted to put a hit out on him. I'm not kidding. I spent seven hours with that guy over a period of days, and he got it all wrong. He believed everything my ex-wife (Polly Platt), who at that time was a drunk, said.
Cher gets a little lighter love tap in Bogdanovich's assessment of Mask (except for that part explaining, "She liked Sonny after he died." I mean, go ahead--shudder. Take as long as you need), which you will need to click through to browse in its entirety. Now, if you do not mind, I think it is time Looker and I had a cigarette.
