If Orson Welles Were Blogging Today...

By $Zero


What do you think he would have to say?




Again, I say...

If Orson Welles were blogging today...

What do you think he would have to say?


More wine, please?


...


Rosebud Blogging...

If he were writing on the net, would Orson Welles automatically qualify as a MustReadBlogger?

You have one vote, so what do you say?

How about Charles Foster Kane?

Or for that matter, what about William Randolph Hearst?

Would he be cranking out the blogs?

Day in. Day out.

"I think it would be fun to run a newspaper!"

...

Rosebud.

S P O I L E R - A L E R T !


In the end, the sled gets thrown into the furnace with all the other endless crates of endless blogging.

...


Anyway, whoever put that video up on the YouTube spelled Citizen Kane wrong.

And their outrageous claim is wrong, too.

Because the most famous single word in cinematic history is definitely NOT Rosebud.

Not even close.



...




Do you see how we're leaving you hanging here?

That's called dramatic effect.



...



Not really.

It's more like screwing with your head.

Meanwhile, unless you're a speed reader, you're probably searching your teased brain for some sort of satisfying answer to this challenging proposition about what the most famous single word in movie history could possibly be.

When, frankly, my dear, nobody really gives a damn.

And why should they?

Never mind that it's totally pointless to consider such a notion in the first place, that fact is that superlative statements like "[whatever] is the most famous single word in movie history!" are the epitome of stupidity.



...



Jaws?


Godfather?


Contender?


...


OK.

Maybe it _is_ Rosebud.

Still.

The point is, maybe it's not.

Rosebud.

In the end, the sled gets thrown into the furnace
with all the other endless crates of endless blogging.

Rosebud.

He'd probably say: "Know any good bloggers?"

Considering that Welles was a proficient and prolific political columnist in the 30's and 40's, often writing about the plight of minorities in this country, I think it obvious that he would find vast material in the events in Washington today.
