Me and Orson Welles

This was probably the most star studded film I have seen during the entire festival. We had Claire Danes and Zac Efron. Then some guy called Christian Mckay, here's a website bearing his name its very gray. And behind me was Captain Barbossa. Apparently Mckay has quite the fan following because there were a lot of dressed-up young girls at the screening. I was wearing a yellow t-shirt of a clown vomiting rainbows. At this film I realized how pathetic my point and shoot camera was. Every time I tried to take a picture the bald guy in front of me would get overexposed and I can't see the cast. This is why I don't have any piccha picchas of the festival. Next year I'll get a night vision camera, or a thousand Popsicle.

Me and Orson Welles
Directed by Richard Linklater

I never knew very much about Orson Welles. I've seen him in Citizen Kane and heard him in the Transformers movie, you know the good one. So knowing that he is a huge icon to American culture I figured it would be worthwhile to see this film. Well also because of Zac Efron, he's so handsome. Coming out of the film I realized why Orson played bullies and jerks, because he was a complete DICK. McKay gave a solid performance as Orson Welles, so good I wanted to punch him in da balls for dramatic effect. Wonder how the Guvenator feels about the Brits stealing American Roles, oh wait he don't cuz hes a migrant - chaaa. Anyways, Zac Efron and his pretty mouth is an aspiring High school actor who has a run in with Orson at the i guess infamous Mercury theater and is given a bit-part in the production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Wow, that was a badly formed sentence. Anyhoo, Efron's character, whose name escaped me because I was lost in his luscious locks, deals with cutting school to attend rehearsals and working beside the so-called greatest actor of the 20th century, paahh Chris Tucker deserves that designation.

Anyhoo, the production is in jeopardy of meeting its opening night, moral rises and falls - rises and falls. All due to Orson mangling his priorities between the production and sex life, see he is a Dick. Efron's glowing skin doesn't make much of a contribution to the stage production, but he's our main character so we get to see through his purty eyes what goes on behind the stage with all the players. He's hot for Claire Dane's Sonja, I guess she's the production manager, but mistakes his crush as true love. Sonja is quite the progressive woman who know what she wants and willing to do it for the job. By do it I meant fuck. The ladies man of the cast provides some solem insight to 1930's literature. When ever the novel gets to the part where man loves woman there is a quadruple space which is left to the reader's imagination. quadruple space means fuck. There is also the comedic character who plays Cinna the poet. Cinna got fucked.

The film was still inspirational to watch. Your dreams may be shattered, but they were shattered by a complete asshole so fuckit.





Oh yeah, best question ever for Q & A!
Q: Zac, don't you feel weird watching yourself on screen?
A: Yeah kinda, but I get used to it.
Ha ha ha you are a lark.
