"If someone looks like he hasn't either bathed or been outdoors in weeks, he's probably a blogger. Yes, even humble bloggers are invited to leave their attics and basements during Shmooze Season." -- Peter Bart in his 12.17 Variety column, titled "You Schmooze or You Lose."

He's an arrogant prick.
I really don't know what the fuck Robert Evans ever see in this guy when he ran Paramount.

The guy hasn't been relevant since before the vast majority of us were born. Leave him be, his medication probably just needs adjusting.

To be truthful, Peter Bart probably doesn't
mind what bloggers look or smell like as long
as they fawn over Paramount/Dreamworks product.

This is OT, but for anyone in L.A. who cares, the American Cinematheque just posted part of their schedule for overlooked/underrated films at http://egyptiantheatre.com/archive1999/2007/OverlookedUnderrated.htm
. And wouldn't you know it, but Eddie Coyle's included.

peter bart strikes me as the kind of guy who actually thinks getting a table at spago makes you a more well-rounded human.
as it is, he represents the last gasp of old hollywood whoring as represented in his frequently contradictory and empty variety pieces. but that's showbiz!
