I'll tell you it's slightly more believable than the vegetable that fried rice.

At least the damn shrimp has agency.

Noeyeddeer what is happening here

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

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....

Orson Welles

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Beautiful. I can hear it in his voice.

[–] CCAirWater@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (8 children)

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.

[–] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] CCAirWater@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Oh valid, my bad. I saw it in passing when I googled him and put two and two together to make eight lol

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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"...

[–] MustardCabbage@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] CCAirWater@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Old man wine commercial is not the way I thought someone would try to get Orson Welles name ever 😂

[–] CCAirWater@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Oh 100%! 😅

[–] CCAirWater@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you thank you! I panic commented because it was driving me nuts. Then realized I could Google old man wine commercial and got the answer.

But I appreciate you! Thank you!

[–] Walican132@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No problem. I had a similar reaction “wait isn’t that Welles” and went googling myself. I just had a head start on you since I recognized him.

[–] CCAirWater@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

At least you had the common courtesy not to comment with the panic (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

[–] Lupus@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

Beat me to it, same on my end.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Boooooo.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

I said what I said! ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

I respect it, appreciate it even. But my God, I hate that film.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Citizen Kane is an OK movie, and transformative for film as a whole, fuck you buddy!

[–] CCAirWater@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Agreed. Still hate it.

I'm not your buddy, pal! (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠)⁠╯

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Naw dawg, he was an actor. He did the voice for Unicron in the 80s transformers movie.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

And narrated Riki Tiki Tavi. Child's cartoon my white ass. Shit was scary.

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

His last role, iirc!
