Wow just release the damn thing...........

After what Beatrice did with trying to sell the original Academy Award Orson received after getting a replacement from the Academy with a contract that stated she could only sell it back to the Academy and then claiming that she could sell the original because there was no contract and furthemore after crying phoney crocodile tears at the court hearing because "The Oscar meant so much to her and she would cherish it for the rest of her life", she doesn't deserve a damn thing of Orson's. It's absolutely great that she lost the lawsuit in 'Vegas' on "The Other Side of the Wind".

Right now "The Other Side of the Wind" is 153 minutes with the first 50 fine cut by Orson. The rest is asembled so that there is a beginning, middle and end. It is brilliant, as you would expect, and you will love every minute of it, maybe every frame. I hope you get to see it someday soon.

I won't even bother commenting seriously on Peter because he's the only person that claims Orson asked him to promise to finish the film. I wouldn't be surprised if Oja backed up his story because she is the only other person with anything to gain from it but she was there so infrequently, I can't imagine a time when she would have heard Orson say that. I do think that he managed to go from despising him to something closer to friendship by the end of his life. Then again, where was Peter when Orson needed money and Peter still had plenty after "What's Up Doc"?
