Thor 7,504 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yeah. Total bummer with Miles. I obviously got into his work due to his singing on many Alan Parsons Project albums, but I later discovered his solo work too. REBEL from 1976 is a masterpiece record, for example, that includes the famous "Music", one of the best AAP songs/instrumentals that wasn't AAP (although it has Powell's orchestral arrangements). Also like the slightly more poppy and streamlined ZARAGON from '78. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 RIP. I went through a big Bogdanovich phase in my teens where I would tell anyone who might care (nobody cared) that he was secretly the greatest director of that 1970s New Hollywood generation. I wouldn't say that anymore but he's still very underrated and he made a handful of true classics. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I've never seen anything by him, I think, but I did watch The Other Side of the Wind plus the matching documentary a while ago and figured I should probably catch up with some of his stuff.

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Not a good human being. A marginally talented director. He built a career on a distorted nostalgia for Old Hollywood ( kinda like Tarantino did later). TARGETS is the best,most ORIGINAL thing he ever did.

I admit I was surprised to learn that he had still been alive (though now I remember I had the same surprise only a few weeks ago when I looked him up on IMDb for some reason). I should be more familiar with his work than I am (a few of his films have been on my todo list for ages), but he was of course brilliant in Sneakers. (Am I the only one who finds the phrasing of the headline odd? "Oscar-winning Hollywood star tragically dies as tributes pour in" - doesn't that sound like the tributes were already pouring in for some other reason when he suddenly died?)

He had a blessedly dark sense of humor that made his delivery of the jokes on AFHV just howling funny. RIP Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
