Watched some Orson Wells movies/interviews

W-E-L-L-E-S

I'm just grateful that you spelled out what BDE represents, because we had no way to know..

I seriously doubt his meat was anything to write a script about.

The only thing big about Orson was his appetite.

I am fascinated by Orson Welles interviews but there are so few of them. Can anyone recommend a good biography? He had a long and legendary career, came up against the Hollywood system and power players many times and they succeeded in sabotaging him and his films contemporarily. He was an innovator and that seemed to threaten them. Orson was ahead of his time.

No matter how big it was, after the age of thirty he could never see it

Certainly he took his frozen peas seriously - -

I worked in TV commercial editing pre-internet. Every mixer in NYC had a tape of Mrs Pritchard’s Peas and would break it out after a session with a particularly difficult Agency Creative or VO Talent.

People with that big an ego usually have very small dicks.

Welles was also known to often sabotage himself. At least that's what people who knew him say. I wonder what he thought of once good friend Robert Wise having one of the very biggest hits of all time. And making a gazillion dollars from it.

He complained his nose was too small. So I doubt his dick was all that impressive.

His nose was made to look larger (putty/make up) in many of his film appearances.

He was handsome when he was young-very young.

His dick was apparently good enough for Rita Hayworth, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Dolores Del Rio, Paola Mori, and plenty of others.

R14 does understand what came and MONEY mean to women.

As long as they get paid prostitutes don't care how big it is.

For the hundredth time, women do not choose men by penis size. Are you twelve?

Three sheets to the wind!

Yes.

Welles loved Joseph Cotton. They collaborated many times. I don't know anything about Cotton

Oh dear.

Joe Cotten seems like he is well hung

If he could find his dick. Wasn't he a big fat ass?

The Welles-Houseman partnership was also interesting.

R5, Welles was on Carson and Merv Griffin endlessly in the 1970s and 80s, usually saying nothing much and doing inane card tricks nobody could understand. If you want serious comments, look up Welles worshiper Peter Bogdanovich. He always talked about what Welles told him about movies.

When he started out in NY, he would always welcome influential men into his dressing room while he was wearing just a towel and chat them up and flirting......I think John Houseman talked about that.....

Yeah. Sylvester the Cat seems so too. I can tell by his stance.

R26 So true. We kids would come home from school and see his fat ass on one of those daytime gabfests, like Merv or Mike Douglas and groan, "Not him, AGAIN." He came off self-important.

-Agnes Morehead (1947)

Great great man but he turned into a pig fattened up for the holidays.

He said he had tried every kind of sex and food was the only pleasure left to him.

I hope he hadn't tried EVERY kind of sex.

That's what guys who couldn't get it up said (pre-Viagra).

I bet he did. He was still hot in Citizen Kane, and even The Lady from Shanghai. He inserted a sexy little gay undercurrent into his scene with Anthony Perkins in The Trial...unfortunately, he had hit the wall hard by then.

Like most people with massive egos/narcissism Welles probably fucked any woman or man because the partner is secondary to feeding the ego.

He said he would go down on the sound booth director R7. Was he bi?

Orson Welles was a great disappointment after his original coronation as The Great Welles. How many great movies did he make, three or four? Much more was expected of him. Most of The Lady from Shanghai seems like a parody of a Welles movie. Others like The Third Man and Touch of Evil weren't directed by him. Lots of times his acting came across like hammy grandstanding, such as in a really good movie based on the Leopold-Lobe case - Compulsion (1959). In other words, Orson Welles became a joke later in his career. So many projects that never got off the ground because of his hubris and lack of interest.

IMDB lists the 61 films he directed. And Touch of Evil was definitely one of them..

Orson's genius was creatvity and innovation but then movie making changed significantly over his long career in part due to his influence.

He definitely marched to his own drummer. You wish that he could have had all the money he needed to make anything he wanted. But I don't know if he'd even want that. He seemed to like living on the edge and making something out of nothing.

He was offered the role of the greasy lawman in Touch Of Evil but then he rewrote it and decided to direct it. It was brilliant and ahead of its time, but the producers were appalled that it was so sordid and shelved it.

I am BIG. It's the pictures that got small.

I like him even when he's bitching about peas

Orson Welles himself was such a big dick that no scale of genital size would have seemed large by comparison.

And I should know.

He was 25 when he wrote, directed and starred in Citizen Kane.

I didn't know there was a controversy over the authorship of Citizen Kane, with some thinking Herman J. Mankiewicz was more responsible for the script than Welles.

David Fincher's father was interested in this idea and wrote a screenplay which his son directed.

Ach!
