Citizen Kane

[Chris Piers]

Yeah, it's one of the best films of all time. I love it. That opening shot of Xanadu? That's just incredible. So innovative.

And Orson Wells died while voicing Unicron. Some of Unicron is Leonard Nimoy pretending to be Orson Wells pretending - wait, no - being a large planet.

Yeah, I thought Watchmen was pretty boring too where the ending was slightly amusing;however, I thought that the Sound and the Fury was one of the best books I've ever read.

Actually, when it premiered, Citizen Kane didn't really make that much money (even for its time) and it only recieved modest reviews. The drama surrounding the movie is great though (as someone else mentioned) and it was well told in the movie they made about it for HBO (RKO 587 or something like that).

My favorite Orson Welles movie was Touch Of Evil though. Awesome!

Yeah, I thought that too until today when I was double-checking my facts. Apparently the person who did the voice of Arcee confirmed that Welles finished his voiceover work before he died.

well i STILL can't get into SHakespear eno matter how good i know he is. shakespeare just bores me. i can get into movies that are remakes of shakespeare but set in different countries or different ages.

still, i used to have a mindset where i thought all artsy films were boring and pointless and pretentious. now i see them in a better light, although a lot are boring, but so are most hollywood movies
