@BasedMikeLee Terribly. When are you leaving? 🙏

Will you miss Stephen Colbert?

A 4K restoration of Orson Welles' THE STRANGER — led by @cinemathequefr and the @librarycongress in collaboration with @AmazonMGMStudio — was screened on May 19 at the Cannes Film Festival as the film marks its 80th anniversary. wellesnet.com/stranger-canne…

@realSellers1 @7s1n51 @Pontifex Simply untrue. Catholic Charities USA deployed hundreds of volunteer teams to help clean out, repair, and rebuild thousands of damaged homes. It raised $163 million for Hurricane Katrina relief.

@7s1n51 @Pontifex For hurricane Katrina churches from all over the country gave money and helped the people. Catholic Church gave 🖕🏻

@realSellers1 @Pontifex Leaving this here even though you’re likely too fucking dumb to be able to read it. stories.catholiccharitiesusa.org/called-to-serv…

@Earl_West_MN @ArrowFilmsVideo @JohnDukeWayne Peter Bogdanovich not only gave him a place to stay, but put $$$ into THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND. Sinatra put money into DON QUIXOTE. Several well-known friends acted for little or no money to help him. Lucy & Desi funded FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. Desi tried to salvage IT'S ALL TRUE.

@Wellesnetcom @ArrowFilmsVideo @JohnDukeWayne ... a place to stay, but no money. He was probably the most helpful of all of the directors who still plaudit him today. A lot of gyrating and grandstanding nonsense. A bunch of cowards, from what I can deduce.

Question for fans of THE SHOOTIST and John Wayne. I have the @ArrowFilmsVideo blu-ray and it was 99% perfect — except for ridiculously heavy grain in the scene where he confronts Ron Howard in the barn over selling his horse. Is this true of all copies? @JohnDukeWayne #johnwayne

@MattMoco1 @highburyhigh @Weinsteinlaw Couldn't said it better.

If you logged on today just to point out that Paul McCartney doesn’t sing like he did decades ago, maybe take a moment to rethink how you’re spending your energy. The man is nearly 84, a living Beatle, and still out there bringing joy to millions. That alone is worth celebrating.

@tim_everitt Honestly, I don't now why I didn't to this years ago!

@Wellesnetcom Thank you for the scholarship.

Thrilled to debut a webpage dedicated to the lost cut of Orson Welles’ THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS. It features a screenplay-style format of the 131-minute edit, as well as a PDF of the RKO cutting continuity. Also, photos & storyboards of deleted scenes. bit.ly/4nA8Dk7

@Luigi_Reyes22 I may add more stills from the deleted scenes in the days ahead.

@Wellesnetcom Wow! It looks so interesting!! Thanks!🙏🏼

@nbcsnl Best of episode of the season.

Thank you, Will Ferrell, Paul McCartney, Chad Smith, Aziz Ansari, and Molly Shannon! Goodnight!

@JYash I hope not. I want to hear the new album.

If McCartney is the musical guest, both songs better be Beatles songs. Smh.

@LasVegasCounsel I feel he captured the sound of studio version rather well.

Well not to be the contrarian but tonight would have been a good night for SNL to roll out a lip sync of a studio version of the song for Paul McCartney.

@yogoldsmith Robert Carringer book and the cutting continuity is online.

@Wellesnetcom Has that Script ever been publicly released?

Fable Studio has commenced work on recreating the look and feel of the lost 43 minutes of THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS using artificial intelligence. wellesnet.com/magnificent-am…

@MavrocksGirl It's touching that people are so fond of your dad's memory. However, this reboot won't erase his work and it may prompt a younger generation to seek out the original.

Seriously, I'm trying to be patient with some of the "comments" on the NEW ROCKFORD FILES however, have you ever thought to reserve your harsh judgment until you see it first? This is my father's legacy & I could not be more pleased with how it turned out! #Jimbo 4 ever

@jeff_cottrill I have mixed feelings as well.

@Wellesnetcom I don’t know how to feel about this. I hate AI. But I also despise the way that movie was butchered by cowardly studio reps.

@NewPopLit Actually, the original Welles version deviates from the Tarkington book.

@Wellesnetcom Or people could read the book. . .

@yogoldsmith There is a cutting continuity, which is a 131-minute, shot-by-shot written record of Orson Welles’s original, unreleased version, which was cut to 88 minutes by RKO.

@Wellesnetcom I’ve been curious if they’re using a script that contained all the deleted scenes or if they’re inventing them whole cloth by guessing what they might have been based on the book? Is there an actual original script or was that lost to time as well?

A new 440 page biography ‘Richard Fleischer: Journeyman’ highlights ‘Compulsion,’ ‘Crack in the Mirror’ well as his #FilmNoir titles! Looking forward to this one. Via @Wellesnetcom: wellesnet.com/richard-fleisc…
