Gonna watch The Lady from Shanghai ama

I've never seen it because everyone says it's Bad but I'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're like

Anyway I know I'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'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'm actually crying I need a moment

move i'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'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.
