===1990s=== In 1990, Bogdanovich adapted [[Larry McMurtry]]'s novel ''[[Texasville (novel)|Texasville]]'', a sequel to ''[[The Last Picture Show (novel)|The Last Picture Show]]'', into a [[Texasville|film]]. It is set 32 years after the events of ''[[The Last Picture Show]]'', and [[Jeff Bridges]] and [[Cybill Shepherd]] both reprised their roles as Duane and Jacy. It was a critical and [[box-office bomb|box office disappointment]] relative to the first film.<ref name="guardobit"/> Bogdanovich often complained that the version of ''Texasville'' that was released was not the film he had intended. His cut of ''Texasville'' was later released on [[LaserDisc]], and the theatrical cut was released on DVD by [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] in 2005.<ref name="emmanuellevy">{{Cite web|url=https://emanuellevy.com/oscar/oscar-directors-bogdanovich-peter-background-career-awards-filmography/|title=Oscar Directors: Bogdanovich, Peter–Background, Career, Awards, Filmography | Emanuel Levy|date=August 17, 2020 }}</ref> After the release of ''Texasville'', Bogdanovich revisited ''The Last Picture Show'' and produced a modified director's cut for [[The Criterion Collection]] which includes seven minutes of previously unseen footage and re-edited scenes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-08-12-ca-352-story.html|first=Barbara|last=Saltzman|title=Bogdanovich's 'Last Picture Show' as He Intended It: The director has added and re-edited scenes to deliver the film he wanted in 1971. He also explains many of its technical and artistic components.|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=August 12, 1991}}</ref> In 1991, Bogdanovich developed an alternative [[calendar]], titled ''A Year and a Day: Goddess Engagement Calendar''. The calendar consisted of 13 months of 28 days and a bonus day to equal 365 days. Each month was named after a different species of tree.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Knight |first1=Chris |title='Peter Bogdanovich, director, cinephile — and proponent of calendar reform?' |url=https://nationalpost.com/entertainment/movies/peter-bogdanovich-director-cinephile-and-proponent-of-calendar-reform |access-date=January 9, 2022 |work=National Post |publisher=Postmedia |date=January 8, 2022}}</ref> Bogdanovich attributed his inspiration for the calendar to the works of [[Robert Graves]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bodganovich |first1=Peter |title=A Year and a Day Engagement Calendar 1992: A Desk Diary Adapted From the Works of Robert Graves |date=September 30, 1991 |publisher=Overlook Books |location=New York City |isbn=978-0879514297}}</ref> Bogdanovich directed two more theatrical films in 1992 and 1993, but neither film recaptured the success of his early career. One, ''[[Noises Off (film)|Noises Off]]'', was based on [[Noises Off|a stage play]] by [[Michael Frayn]],<ref name="guardobit"/> while another, ''[[The Thing Called Love]]'', is better known as one of [[River Phoenix]]'s last roles before his death. In the mid-90s, Bogdanovich began to work in television, directing films such as ''[[To Sir, with Love II]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.looper.com/730146/sidney-poitiers-best-co-stars-ranked/|title=Sidney Poitier's Best Co-Stars Ranked|date=January 10, 2022}}</ref> In 1997, he declared bankruptcy again.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-06-04-me-65482-story.html|title=Director Bogdanovich Declares Bankruptcy|last=O'Neill|first=Ann W|date=June 4, 1997|website=Los Angeles Times|access-date=August 23, 2019}}</ref> Drawing from his encyclopedic knowledge of film history, he wrote several critically lauded books, including ''Who the Devil Made It'', featuring archival interviews that Bogdanovich had held with famous Hollywood directors, and ''Peter Bogdanovich's Movie of the Week'', which offered the lifelong cinephile's commentary on 52 of his favorite films.<ref name="NYTobit" />
