I see that Michael Fairman deleted that tweet and his link.  SOD had also tweeted about this and then deleted it.

Daytime Confidential clarified:

"UPDATE: Flannery's appearance on Daily Pop has been cancelled for today. No word on if or when it will be rescheduled."

Was I? I don't remember. I know @DRW50saw it recently and enjoyed it.

Bogdanovich's career as a critic, rediscovering classic Hollywood filmmakers and actors and re-conceptualizing them, often in the brilliant and extensive series of interview books he did with both stars and filmmakers, did so much for the backbone of modern criticism as we know it today. And that's before we even get to his own amazing career as a director. The Last Picture Show is a masterpiece; What's Up Doc? is one of the greatest screwball comedies of all time. At Long Last Love, reviled upon release, is IMO a demented piece of musical genius. The director's cut of Texasville is a languid, witty and very human portrait of a rich characters' world.

Film geeks love to jab at Bogdanovich for his ego and inflated sense of self-importance, but I don't think they've ever (at least in my lifetime) forgotten his true value as a historian, an interviewer, a critic and yes, a director. If people have never read his interview books I hope they'll seek them out. The work he left us in print and onscreen is immeasurable; his wealth of memory and personal experience and stories, starting with his long and complex friendship with Orson Welles and going down the line, is eternal.
