To me no other movie has captured this part of Texas. like this one..I live about 100 miles from Archer City...same environment....same values here. The cast helped to capture it thru their superb performances...every one of them just nailed it... The decision to do it in black and white was KEY ...the austerity of this area came thru better than it ever would have in color. Another thing they captured was the undercurrent sadness of a slowly dying era...a slowly dying town ...which is prevalent in these rural areas...I know, I live in one small dying town here in west central Texas
I live just a block and a half from the Royal. There are events there all the time. The town is very active. Lots of great people and a wonderful place to live.
I met Helena Humann, the actress who played Jimmie Sue, the "lady" who bloodied Billy's nose, at a theater production. She was nice enough to sign my Playbill. Interesting that they did not mention Larry McMurtry's Oscar winning screenplay, "Brokeback Mountain" on the metal signs you pointed out. RIP Larry McMurtry 1936-2021 and Peter Bogdanovich 1939-2022.
One of my favorite movies, it captures a time lost in America. Jeff Bridges said that a sequal was possible? However with the passing of Larry McMurty and Bogdonavich I doubt it. Loved all the actors, they were great. Enjoy folks, your trip back to the 1950's.
As a native Texan and fan of the movie, I especially enjoyed the vlog. The author Larry McMurtry captured small-town Texas, and Bogdanovich's movie did it justice. McMurtry also wrote Terms of Endearment.
Jah is just THE best. He loves his grassy yards, dry or green. And what a fine little traveler. That was a very good vlog. Thanks, Jordan! I'd forgotten the plot of THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, but did remember that Cybill Shepherd dated Peter Bogdanovich. The two of them were in the same restaurant on Sunset one time when a date and I were having dinner. She was quite pretty in person as well as on the screen. In those days you could see stars a lot in the Sunset Bl. area. A friend of mine ran into Laurence Olivier out for a walk and he said "good afternoon" to her. LOL! She was all aflutter telling about it. Funny the things we remember.
The Last Picture Show was a great movie, beautifully directed. It was fascinating and quite atmospheric to see where it was filmed, . Many Thanks for stopping here and making this Vlog. Jah was so happy to see Brett, a lovely reunion. Many Thanks Jordan.
This was a great movie ,love the theatre 🎥 so kool and the location. I knew Cybil Shepherd when she came to live in Hernebay ,New Zealand 🇳🇿 with her young twins back in the late 80's . She was would come into our fruit n veg shop with the kids all the time . She was such a lovely lady and yes she shared secrets but I won't tell 😉. Thankyou Jordan and Jah and the town of Archer . Oh Boy look at Jah go😂 he loved that backyard bless him. 💚✌
The Last Picture Show is a excellent movie. Great job on the Vlog. Enjoyed seeing all the movie locations. Ben Johnson was wonderful in the movie. Sad that Peter Bogdanivich recently passed away.
Larry McMurtry had a way of writing stories that stayed with you. Two movies by him that left a mark on me are Hud and The Last Picture Show. I’m definitely adding Archer City to my must visit list. If it wasn’t already noon, I’d head there today. Great video.
As a long-time fan of 'The Last Picture Show,' thank you for showing us the main filming location of this movie. Too bad you weren't able to cover Ruth Popper's home, but 50 years later, it's hard to know if ir even looks the same. But it lives on in film, the way we want to remember these locations! Thanks again, Jordan. Great vlog as usual!
Definitely need to check this movie out. Jah so happy to see Breck and to be able to run all over the backyard. I’m sure Breck was happy to see y’all too. You get to see how he’s fixed up his house. Do believe you’re his first houseguests.
Awesome video! I watch all your videos and I also happen to be born and raised in Wichita Falls! Fun fact, Angela Kinsey was born and raised in Archer City!
Happy to see that you and Jah are doing well. It was nice to see Jah spring into action after seeing your friend. Precious times indeed❣️Every small town has it’s little adventures and secrets. Thanks for explaining the movie. The smallest town I lived in had 7,000 people in the mid 1970’s called Blythe California. It had smaller neighboring towns with one grocery store and some other little shops. The townspeople depended on Blythe’s businesses to survive like the small towns of Ripley, Palo Verde & Mesa Verde. Since Blythe was a desert town located next to the Colorado River it attracted many tourists throughout the year who enjoyed fishing, boating, water skiing, rafting etc. It was also an agricultural area dependent of the Colorado River. I only lasted 5 years living there but enjoyed the experience of getting to know and live with the small town vibe. At first the people look at you with skepticism but after they get to know you they give you their heart. ❤️The heat was too much for me to bear 110-120 degrees in summer and the pesticide spraying of the crops made me ill. So back to LA I returned but with many fond memories and new friendships. 🌈
Thank you Jordan for this video it was awesome and i loved it. Once again we see jah napping a long side his best pal he such an awesome pup. Loved this channel and love everything you do you are so positive and you bring me joy happiness when i see your videos.
The building he was in before billy getting hit by truck was torn down. If you look close the Dr pepper painted on side of building is still there but faded..
The Dr pepper painting on side of building is next to spur hotel.. you gotta look close but it's there under cafe painting... The building across street was torn down and is empty lot that was hooked to buildings still standing .. Been so long since I saw movie I forgotten characters names.
I was going to say, Jordan has the wrong location for the pool hall. That building was knocked down years ago and is currently an empty lot. Although it is on the end of a series of buildings in the same position as the facade of the Royal. But it’s on the other block, as the previous commentator pointed out. BTW, the lady who ran the cafe, was the late, great Eileen Brennan, who would go on to get an Oscar nomination for ‘Private Benjamin’ and later an Emmy for playing Jack’s acting coach Zondra in ‘Will & Grace.’
I haven't seen this movie but l want to see it know! Great to see Jah and your friend. I so remember him from your vlogs in the past. Take care and see you soon❤
Great vlog. I have heard of this movie but I’ve never seen it - so I’m definitely going to watch it. It was great seeing Breck and Jah so happy to see him.
I skipped this video to see Breck and you together in the Dr pepper video. Should have watched this one first, sort of a build up. Jah going nuts, priceless! Like to see the last Picture Show while its fresh in my mind.
Thanks for covering the filming location of this great movie Jordan. It's also timely in lieu of the passing of director Peter Bogdanovich in January. What a great cast when they were all pretty much starting out in their careers. Doesn't look like the town has changed all that much since the film was made there back in the early 70s. Great Job 👍
As always Jordan we enjoy all your videos and your traveling to all these small towns is great. So much history we all do not know about. Thank you. We also love seeing Jah and how fun was it to how happy he was to see your friends Breck. We look forward to the next vlog.
I haven't seen this movie so I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing and bringing it to my attention. Loved the reunion and excitement of Jah when finding Breck. Thanks so much for making that happen. Good friends are a treasure. Even animals know that and remember those that are good to them.
Thank you Jordan. I love filming location vlogs. Fun when I have seen a movie and inspires me to watch of i haven’t (as in this case). Always great to see Jah and nice to see Breck. Jah felt right at home. 😊
My High School girlfriends parents took us to see The Last Picture Show in 1972 , I remember her Mom saying “oh my” when Cybill went swimming in the pool. Then she turned to me and said” don’t get any ideas young man lol great times
Hi Jordan, I think I saw this film years ago, it all sounded familiar. What a lovely surprise at the end seeing Breck again. I think I was as surprised as Jah, I didn't pee on everything though ha, ha. I hope we see Breck again in another vlog. Great vlog Jordan.
Well now.. it's definitely been too long! Breck was pretty Mum about your coming but I think he hinted on it being a possibility.. I haven't seen Jah that fired up in a long time.. too Cool! Oh yeah good vlog Jordan
This is so cool. Not many people around our age know about this film. It’s amazing and so well done. I’ve seen it at least twice.
To me no other movie has captured this part of Texas. like this one..I live about 100 miles from Archer City...same environment....same values here.

The film being in black & white really enhanced the atmosphere of the town. Outstanding to see it still relatively the same today. Thanks Jordan !
I live just a block and a half from the Royal. There are events there all the time. The town is very active. Lots of great people and a wonderful place to live.
"The Last Picture Show" is truly a great movie. And Cybil Sheppard was gorgeous in it. Nice to see Breck again.

Living in Houston I’ve seen this movie at least 10 times, love it, ty for taking us along. Jah was so cute with Breck, true love 💕
Billy wasn't sleeping, he was sweeping. It's what he did.
Jah is just THE best. He loves his grassy yards, dry or green. And what a fine little traveler.

And, Larry McMurtry died last March.

You'll love the atmosphere of the town.

It was in a city kinda far away.. not filmed in this town
It was so cool to see how excited Jah was when he saw Breck, that was heartwarming! 🌼
that Book Store sounds like a place I could have lived in grew up in a small town
Definitely need to check this movie out. Jah so happy to see Breck and to be able to run all over the backyard. I’m sure Breck was happy to see y’all too. You get to see how he’s fixed up his house. Do believe you’re his first houseguests.

Nice enough visit to the sites of such classic film but a bit remiss not to get a shot of that one lonely traffic light which appears to still there.
My High School girlfriends parents took us to see The Last Picture Show in 1972 , I remember her Mom saying “oh my” when Cybill went swimming in the pool. Then she turned to me and said” don’t get any ideas young man lol great times
