yeah man, we hear everything

man I don't even *know* what to say about the way this recording cuts out fourteen minutes in as HG Welles talks about "the dealing with the criminal" except to say that Malcolm McDowell's hippie portrayal of Welles in 1979's "Time After Time" seems accurate

would like to claim I'd be a more curious countersubject but frankly I would be pulling a copy of My Life in Art out of my back pocket and beating the father of modern science fiction over the head with it

god damn, nine minutes in when HG's clearly describing Stanislavski's staging of Hamlet and Orson's just saying he's "awfully sorry" for correcting him on the director. @wychstreet.bsky.social do you think you'd have the humility? frankly I don't think I'd be able to sit still

I'll betcha there was at least one guy at Westwood in the mid-nineties like "we're gonna call him Kane because this is gonna be the Citizen Kane of gaming", and fuck if they weren't kinda right

fuck me, listening a little further, about 4:30, the bit about how "you aren't quite serious in America yet", how "you haven't got the war right under your chins, and the consequences you can still play with ideas of terror and conflict". now there's a man who'd REALLY have some shit to say about it

I listen to this clip every now and then and I'm continuously shocked by the way Orson Welles brings up Hitler about three minutes in the way we bring up Donald Trump today

don't know if you know he and HG met up way back when, and it's maybe the first recorded instance of an influencer thanking another influencer for giving them "a plug"

oh I think Orson Welles would have a chuckle at it all right

Amazon guy I asked pointed out the Lockers Program for picking up a package outside your registered address. my man do you recognize there are certain *impediments* one faces when unhoused, to maintaining an Amazon Prime™ account in good standing

where's he gonna get a package delivered? the tent?

but of course they never could have done it without bribing that one homeless guy in a tent with a thousand dollar gift card
