Surprising to find them in agreement, what with the disparity over on Rotten Tomatoes (All Critics 81% Fresh, Audience Score 57% Rotten)

Redacted until I do more volume-fixing. It's amazing how much inconsistency there is for the level of loudness for a simple conversation. Were people in 1939 constantly readjusting their radios as the audio kept flipping from pianissimo to fortissimo for no apparent reason?

Interesting. Welles reportedly said he wanted Hannaford's film to be about 50% of the entire movie. At 23 minutes, this would be less then 20%. That's one example of how this is probably not the film Welles would have made, even if he had had the chance to complete it in 1976. Furthermore, if Bogda...

No problem, you've got an awful lot going on these days.

Re-read Peter Tonguette's amazing interview with Ellen Segal and Bob Murawski and saw this bit of trivia. Bob Murawski began his editing career on Danger Zone III: Steel Horse War in 1990.

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is faring less well with critics (61% Fresh on RT) and is having distribution and legal problems. Gilliam says he's used to mixed reviews: https://variety.com/2018/film/festivals ... 24219/amp/
