Since there are no women on this island, wouldn't porn be more practical? :D

I voted for Touch of Evil because I felt it was closer to Welles's vision that Ambersons was. Had I seen an uncut version of Ambersons, I would probably say differently.

Callow is on the DVD? After he bashed Welles in "Xanadu." First that horrid Viridiana cover and now this. Criterion is releasing the films I like, but adding a bunch of crap to them! :angry:

I was reading "Despite the System" recently and I found it interesting the part where he talked about films that put an influence on him. His Top Ten Films (according to a 1952 Sight and Sound Poll) were: City Lights (Chaplin) Greed (von Stroheim) Intolerance (Griffith) Nanook of the North (Flahert...

I have heard much about many of Welles's opinions on the media developments in the late 40s and 50s (widescreen, color, TV). However, I am wondering what Welles thought of method acting and method actors (Marlon Brando, James Dean, etc.) I know Welles was into Brecht and his approach to acting and B...

When people talk of the many editions of "Touch of Evil," there is one thing that bothers me about the 1976 version. In '76, Welles was still alive. Why wasn't Welles involved in the rerelease? Did he not want to visit old territory? Did Universal not invite him to be involved? Any comments?

Possible theory for Callow's hatred of Welles: he worships Charles Laughton and when Laughton did a production of Brecht's "Galileo," he didn't credit Brainerd Duffield and Emerson Crocker for the translation. Duffield and Crocker were two of Welles's friends and Welles sent a telegram to Laughton c...

A restored print of "Chimes" in the works? A new print of "Journey" discovered? Why in the name of God are art/rep houses not running Welles retrospectives?
