WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

i am a big big fan of academic writing, and analysis, but impossible to kep eyes open while reading the F-For-Fake book. i got a gander at it through the local pub lib.

the script is available through you local public library, and if you search it on google you will find a lot of marvelous explanations, and you will find it's still being staged.

i emailed Tom K. about getting the cavet show, and the canadian close-up interview. any one interested in copies to offset the cost?

chimes at midnight, flastaff BSing: 2 misbegotten knaves in candle green came at me. i love that scene

touch of evil, first scene in tanner's shabby little bordello. quinlan all greasy and slobbering, looking at the skinny tramp with lust in his eyes, "any way, you sure are looking good." and: on the bridge, "vargas, vargas, vargas, all you want to talk about is varga!" Citizen Kane: I'm the one that...

ah, no. i'm alleging that full screen vs. lbx is like original flavor and bbq. chose the one you like, but make sure people are aware of both. the reconstruction has marvelous work but the framing bugs me. the full screen has incredible framing that makes the whole film a visual symphony when you wa...

thank you max. maybe rkadin will understand what i said if it comes from you.

rkadin, i captured a copy of the restored TOE shown on ENCORE, and it had as much image as the LD. but who knows. maybe one of our in-house experts can shed some light on this.

a few scenes to compare lbxed and not lbxed is the scene, framed in dutch angle, where risto runs away from the hotel after pancho shines flashlight in susan's room. the pre-strangle events with susan passed out on the bed. when coroner rises from linaker's body, the abyss of space that opens up abo...

i think my TOE laser disc might have more image than what i'm seeing here.

i don't have an axe to grind with schmidlin. it was just funny how when he was posting here no matter what he said all the minnions were lining up behind him, thus my messiah comment. at first schmidlin defended the lbx version then later he admited he had nothing to do with the lbxing. i never plac...

absolutley, glenn. and the reason i so fervently argue this, is that i am passionate about welles and everything he ever did. i hate the thought of some one new to welles seeing TOE in a less than desirable form and think that this is the best welles could do. it's not. most here admit that the lbx ...

maxreal, the jaime m. post you are refering to is where he writes about the stripper sign above rancho grande. like the castle in arkadin, this sign is visible as a location anchor point in much of the film. welles went through great pains to make sure this sign hovers above the in-town scenes, and ...

the aspect ratio thing on TOE has become a bore. it's like bbq, or extra crispy. chose the one you like.

jaime said: Presumably the experts that you disagree with also "watched the film," and came up with a different conclusion. My reply: amaizing how that happens. i will go see a movie that the experts say is good, and it sucks. it also happesn the other way around. i guess it just depends which exper...
