Orson Welles

Is he /ourguy/?

[on Stanley Kubrick] Among the young generation, Kubrick strikes me as a giant.

he is /ourguy/

>[on Woody Allen]He is arrogant. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It’s people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Everything he does on the screen is therapeutic.

What did he mean by this?

...

I remember the thread about this quote was enormous, because half of this board fits that description perfectly well.

how butthurt do you think woody allen was after reading this?

this is probably the reason why he stopped acting in his flicks

Don't talk to me or masson ever again

What the FUCK was his problem?

>HJ: If [Spencer] Tracy was hateful, none of that comes across in the work.

>OW: To me it does. I hate him so. Because he's one of those bitchy Irishmen.

>HJ: One of those what?

>OW: One of those bitchy Irishmen.

>HJ: I can't believe you said that.

>OW: I'm a racist, you know. Here's the Hungarian recipe for making an omelet. First, steal two eggs. [Alexander] Korda told me that.

>HJ: But you liked Korda.

>OW: I love Hungarians to the point of sex! I almost get a hard-on when I hear a Hungarian accent, I'm so crazy about them.

>HJ: I don't understand why you're saying that about the Irish.

>OW: I know them; you don't. They hate themselves. I lived for years in Ireland. The majority of intelligent Irishmen dislike Irishmen, and they're right.

>HJ: All these groups dislike themselves. Jews dislike themselves.

>OW: Nothing like Irishmen.
