From the Adventures of Peter and Peter
While Peter Guber and Peter Bart go on summer vacation AMC is airing greatest moments of Sunday Morning Shootout. This morning's "Icons" episode included interviews with Peter Jackson, Peter Bogdanovich, Sydney Pollack and Francis Ford Coppola.
We here at SDoF are ever so grateful that even after FFC spent a good 20 minutes berating the Hollywood system for everything that is wrong with American film-making and called the studio set "a bunch of accountants" the editors still included Guber's effusive "You're my HERO!" send off as they closed down the segment. To which FFC demurely responded: "thanks."

Guber was asked to leave Sony in 1995 after Sony reported a $600 million loss and wrote-off a further $4.8 billion resulting from the reduction in value incurred under Guber. At the time, this was the greatest single write-off in corporate history and marked the end of an unprecedented string of losses and failures under Guber's management at Sony Pictures.
