WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

An interesting tidbit from the introduction to Batman Archive Vol.1- "...the artwork's composition would draw on innovative camera angles in the work of filmmakers like Orson Welles... the Batman team, who bought so many tickets to watch Citizen Kane that they could recite dialouge while sitting at ...

Sounds like you're the man with the plan Jaime. We'll restart the Cinema Vortex screenings here in Central Florida and start to network. I'll will start distributing info to film students for the viewings. Your problem Jaime has been that you are extremely ambious! Here's a project that should be a ...

I told you Jaime last time I saw you that I'm ready for the monthly screenings! Let's do it!

You could understand the estates' claim if they were actively releasing material. They just sit on the stuff!

Fundraising would be the tough part! Jaime, you mentioned that a hotel/convention center would expect payment the first time, but here in the Orlando area you might be able to find one that is desperate for some business. The Florida Film Festival takes place in June. We might be able to work someth...

Joking aside, I just read the posts by mteal and rkadin under Unfinished Orson. What would it take to organize a convention with showing of these prints?

Ok Jeff, it's time for me to reappear from the basement of Wellesnet to bring up the Wellesnet Convention again. I would like to purpose a meeting of Wellesnet members and other Welles fans to migrate for the hell of it here to beautiful Orlando, Florida. Since Jaime M. and I live here, we could org...

"Yes the books paint his as a step n fetch it sometimes. But his personal revord which he kept ( and he kept them all) tell a different story. When you do reserch on a person and subject a bunch of books and a a few libarys will not tell the complete story." (Still learning the features of the new b...

oops!

Welles Fan, Peace! :D Please re-read my post. It was a general post, not directed to your remarks. As an educator, my intension was to enlighten not to attack your opinion of people in general. I interpreted 'shit for brains' as a description for the naivety of the 1930's radio audience. I now under...

Knowing Mr. Marzol, Obssessed_With_Orson, I think Jaime was being facetious about 'secret info'! ;) As a history teacher I have run into this problem when students make judgments about the actions of people in history. Be careful when judging the reactions of people in the past. You do not want to v...

What about your use of commas Jaime?

I'm sending this one to my screenwriting professor!

:) You're a piece of work Jaime! Funny stuff! It appears to me that Richard Wilson's contributions spans into the part of Orson's career when he was having difficulty in Hollywood. It is hard to judge his contribution because it is not easy to separate his efforts from Orson's. Richard Wilson might ...

Well, I love what you have done to the place!

I wish I had more time to post like I have in the past, but things have really picked up here at film school!


Fun stuff
