Need to make up for a lot of movies from the golden age of Hollywood

Axis vs Entente Powers.

Paramount: "i dont make cheap horror pictures, Universal does"?

Fun, MGM 3 rules~EMOTION~We have only one star, that is Leo the Lion~MGM stands for Mayer's gantze mishpokhe(Mayer's whole family). While privately accepting bribes to sell MGM, tsk tsk, what an hypocratical actor.

William Randolph Hearst, picks the presidential cabinet just like casting, Charles Dance is really suitable for all kinds of high-level roles.

Oh wow, Manke's list (100 or so)

"If you keep telling people something untrue, loud and long enough, they're apt to believe it"....sad but true.

Capital, politics, literature and art, media, . . . all mixed up.

from court jester to a rebel

so much innuendos, i need analysis...

(Oh mo, how does it feel to be preaching socialism? like upton sinclair, and that circus dinner. am i wrong? I should watch Citizen Kane again

I am very happy to accept this award, in the manner in which the screenplay was written, which is to say, in the absence of Orson Welles.

    [YVR-Vancity] The technical performance is impeccable, the era brings accuracy and authenticity, and tributes and echoes to Citizen Kane are everywhere, but the director who should have a characteristic style has disappeared.

    The first time I saw Finch, I was tired

Mank quotes

  • Irving Thalberg: When I come to work, I don't consider it slumming. I don't use humor to keep myself above the fray. And I go to the mat for what I believe in. I haven't the time to do otherwise. But you, sir, how formidable people like you might be if they actually gave at the office.

  • Herman Mankiewicz: As Pascal once said, "If only I'd had more time, I would have written a shorter letter."
