Frozen Peas

I love how pinky and the brain did an episode from this rant

[BakRU84]

YES ALWAYS!

He is kind of a fussy baby. I dont think he was being mean, he was probably just like this to everyone in his life.

Is there anything Orson Welles CAN'T do better than Christian Bale?

[CCharmanderK]

Orson Welles was the Shakespeare of the 20th century. A brilliant actor who knew his craft like he knew his own house, and took every length to ensure that a product was at its best if he could. He gave us War of the World, Citizen Kane and his brilliantly evil final role of Unicron in The Transformers: The Movie. He will be remembered forever.

"He said it! Your friend!" ...classic.

[CocteauDalighari]

Fish fingers in Norway? "Ah, that's tough: crumb-crisp coating." The devil is in the details, but Orson got there first.

[LibraHorse1]

Rosebud... Yes! Rosebud frozen peas. Full of country goodness and green penis. Wait that was terrible. I quit. Maybe I'll take some for the road. Oh what luck! There's a french fry in my beard!

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Brilliant posting!!! Welles would be disgusted with the deterioration of the English language today.

[ToyKingWonder]

People have moaned "Why didn't people give poor Orson Welles money to make more great movies!". Well, maybe because the truth is he was a dick to work with. Who talks this way to people? He had the copy beforehand, and if he didn't, he and his agent were fools. You wait until sound people, production people, and everyone else--whose time are just as precious--are all on set before you bitch about content? What an ass.

@ToyKingWonder That's not the way it works. There are constant changes being made to the script right up until it's recorded, and then some.

That said, I'll admit that Welles is being kind of a prick.

[CocteauDalighari]

@ToyKingWonder >>>Who talks this way to people?<<< Just about everyone on cable TV these days. Maybe Welles was a seer: he had a dream that one day every white man would be a dick. (I mean, he played a dick in all his great movies!) & Now, it's so.

[Ne0nLobster]

You tell them, Orson Welles!

[luckywood]

I expected this to be funny but actually it's really tragic and depressing to hear such a genius trying to inject some quality into such shit

[pupil8]

complaining to orson wells about his delivery is like complaining to jesus for turning the water into a merlot.

[lt3tretrois]

@pupil8 What if you've been walking a long ways and you're thirsty? Maybe you've got a long way to go and you don't want have a buzz in the sun of the desert. Maybe Orson misunderstoodand something and decided to take it out on everyone working with him.

[CryptoJew]

the best part is the very end, where he says "no money is worth ...."

[Cobra666Commander]

Show me a Jury where you can say "In July...and I'll GO DOWN ON YOU."

LOLOL WTF

[pecoswill]

"Always, yes!"

Orson Welles rocks like no other.

[RosicrucianAlchemy]

We know a certain fjord in Norway near where the cod gather in great shoals...

[BloodPump]

Orson Welles is awesome.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

Dread Zeppelin used the sound bite: "Here, Under Protest, is Beefburgers!" right before the song "Hot Dog" on their Hot & Spicy Beanburger CD. Classic!

[dreadzeppelindottv]

There's another clip where Welles asks, "Who the hell are you?"

"I'm the assistant director, sir."

"I take direction from one man... under protest!"

Welles... the best. Thanks for posting.

[bongopatrol]

there used to be a video of this going down and it was incredible. Does any body know where it might have gone.

[theone2088]

His directing instincts were kicking in while these guys were trying to some sorry-assed commercial.

[VandalStork]

I heard of these recordings on SCTV and Futurama commentary tracks. Very cool to finally hear what they were laughing about ;>) Welles was a genius, and had a wonderful voice, but he sounds like a pain to direct. "This is a lot of shit, you know that? I wouldn't direct any living actor like this! You are such pests! No money is worth this!"
