Gonna watch The Lady from Shanghai ama
I& #39;ve never seen it because everyone says it& #39;s Bad but I& #39;ve decided I simply must know how an Orson Welles/Rita Hayworth noir goes wrong.
Okay that bit of dialog was great.
Orson Welles said acab
in a less than perfect accent but HEY
Ritaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
fellas is it gay if every time you see a woman you& #39;re like
Anyway I know I& #39;m a person with a lot of Things but one of my things is when the sleeves are rolled up to the elbow and the smoke and ESPECIALLY the scowl
I was in the process of tweeting how good the dialog is and then Mr. Bannister called Michael "Black Irish" and I& #39;m in my thinks now lmao
are you fucking kidding me am I being fucking kidded w o w
orson and I are making the same face at those GAMS
wait were they still married while shooting this
okay research says they were at LEAST estranged
i am looking respectfully dot jpg
same, buddy, right down to the nip.
I& #39;m actually crying I need a moment
move i& #39;m gay dot jpg
I am Moved
the song "U Got It Bad" was actually written after watching that scene
A+ shark anecdote, orson
Guess whose dumb ass fell asleep with literally 13 minutes left of this movie last night?

Anyway hey this may have been heavily re-shot but there& #39;s enough Orson style in this to redeem it imo. This mirror scene? Incredible.
Also I searched my own tweets to re-find this thread and apparently I at least tried to watch this back in like, 2011? But I have no recollection of that?? Drugs are bad, kids.
