I’ll tell you it’s slightly more believable than the vegetable that fried rice.
At least the damn shrimp has agency.
Say what you will about the tenets of pescatarianism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos
I DEMAND MORE ORSON WELLES STYLE MEMES
Noeyeddeer what is happening here
Weeeellll classic memes are often celebrated for their excellence but there is a new meme featuring Orson Welles inspired by that same classic excellence. It is written in his voice and like the most choice classic memes, is fresh and OC so Orson Welles…
Beautiful
I wonder if he’s drinking French Champaign
It was California “champagne”
INSPIRED

Too succulent for such a creature to have been involved
This golden brown, too accurate for sea creatures.
Complaining as he’s chowing down his third plate of Shrimp Fried Rice
“My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.”
Orson Welles
We will sell no wine before it’s time.
That guy is someone famous and lost all his money so he did ads, right? I cannot remember his name and it’s driving me insane. I think he like… Directed films? If I recall correctly, he was a bit of an ass.
I cannot remember his name. 😭
Edit: I googled old man wine commercial.
It’s Orson Welles. The author of War of the Worlds and I think Citizen Cane. Itch scratched!
Side note, citizen cane is awful. I don’t care that it’s said to be top cinema. I hate that boring waste of 3hrs.
War of the Worlds was written by H.G. Wells, not Orson Welles. Orson did, however, do that famous radio performance of War of the Worlds in the 30s that ostensibly (but probably not actually according to more modern analysis) caused widespread panic among its listeners.
I always get these two and George Orwell confused. On top of the somewhat similar names, the fact that Orson Welles/H.G. Wells both have that War of the Worlds connection and H.G. Wells/George Orwell both being famous authors doesn’t help, either.
Wait there’s 3 of them!? I always thought two and when the name was different in media my thought was, “of curse that’s just the other one”…
Old man wine commercial is not the way I thought someone would try to get Orson Welles name ever 😂
Well, it worked tho! Lol
Oh 100%! 😅
Citizen Kane is an OK movie, and transformative for film as a whole, fuck you buddy!
Agreed. Still hate it.
I’m not your buddy, pal! (╯°□°）╯
He didn’t lose all his money; he was blacklisted because of mccarthyism and run out of Hollywood. A great tragedy; he could have made so many more great films.
Hmm, I did some quick googles. Wiki didn’t have much on his finances, just his work. But from few sites, it seems he definitely was blacklisted but made a return throughout the 70s and 80s but nothing big took off and he still ended up broke doing commercials because he lived too loud with his money. So it seems it started with being blacklisted but he also was spending too much money? I dunno. I’d have to read more, but sounds about right from what I remember of a film appreciation course I took a decade ago that started with fkn citizen cane.
The reason why Citizen Kane is celebrated is because it was the first film todo x,y, or z. For example it’s the first film to have the story told througha pastiche of other people’s memories.
Oh, and I agree. I understand that. It’s also the first film to piss me off, in my formative years.
Still fkn hate it! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Boooooo.
(ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ Oh no! A ghost!
I said what I said! ಠ_ಠ
I respect it, appreciate it even. But my God, I hate that film.
Why are you booing him, he’s right!
Tbh I can only appreciate its contributions to cinema intellectually, otherwise it’s just some movie everyone alive knows the ending to before they see it.
“You Maniacs! You Blew It Up! Ah, Damn You! God Damn You All to Hell!”
Naw dawg, he was an actor. He did the voice for Unicron in the 80s transformers movie.
And narrated Riki Tiki Tavi. Child’s cartoon my white ass. Shit was scary.
His last role, iirc!
Beautiful. I can hear it in his voice.
