I declare it I *Heart* Week. Everyone has to start a thread full of brilliance that is a particular genius, hero or legend.

First up, Orson Welles

Here he is, at his best. Raw and uncut.


Here he is, at his absolute drunkest


Here's the entire War of the Worlds recording, as well as The Lives of Harry Lime (The prequel to The Third Man) and The Shadow (which was turned into an appalling film with Alec Baldwin).

Speaking of which, Welles could have directed a Batman film. Think about that. How brilliant would that have been? With George Raft as Two-Face, James Cagney as The Riddler, Basil Rathbone as The Joker, Marlene Dietrich as Catwoman, and GREGORY PECK as Bruce Wayne/Batman?

"I'm Batman. And Lord help me, I'll hit you with my ring hand".

The famous Welles frozen peas advert. And threatening the sound engineer with blowjobs.


Welles getting his hair done with Dean Martin and James Stewart. Surreal.


Just... surreal.

The problem with this idea is that every week is "I Heart Plum Week" for me! How many pictures of Plum can this forum take?
