I actually HATED American Beauty. NOT worthy of Best Picture. The Sixth Sense should have won.

Materialist logic: Cold readers exist, therefore all mediums are just cold readers. Except that doesn’t follow.

I wonder if someone made a chart of typical cold reading statements and arranged it by common denominators like age brackets, economic situations, genders, etc. 🤔 Could be useful in countering scammers!

Twice the pride, double the on screen deaths.

"My arms don't work and I'm doing better than you." I got this PlayStation Underground disc in the mail back in the 90's and I can't tell you how tickled I was as a Mystery Science Theater fan hearing Tom Servo's wisecracks!

This man lived on a level far above and beyond the rest of us.

Did Welles ever meet L. Ron Hubbard?

Aaaaah the cold reading

I liked the movie a lot, its probably my favourite one from now onwards

Orson Welles and South Park made the exact same point on a topic. Love that

Or we really do have some "extra" sense and convince ourselves we don't.

So They not going to say what is the worst movie or actor for 1999

I love how Frost is completely star struck by the great man. And who wouldn't be?

Aaaaahhhhhhhh. The French champagne.

Wish we could see the whole show. Would've liked to see them talk about what they each thought Best Original Song should've been.

Orson Welles had the best stories and the best manner of telling them

He's great lol

I had no great change from 13-15 and I certainly have no scar on my knee. There are actual psychics out there, and they certainly aren't doing 'cold readings'. I'm sure there are fakes too, but that doesn't remove the real ones.

Did they have to start calling it "If We Picked the Winners" because they could no longer use "Oscars" in the title?

If you find this fascinating you should hear his tales of working as a rent-boy in Galway...Mindboggling. And true of course!

John Candy does the best Orson impression

"You know I'm a magician?" ...too right we do, Mr Welles

You forgot to add the last death scene of 2015

Time has not been kind to A.B. with its cacophony of cliches and over the top unlikable characters. G.I. is a prelude to Hollywood pushing the perversion of trans which has become so prevalent. At least 6th sense was original, though, sans gimmick, forgettable.

I think the Green Mile should’ve won best picture over American Beauty though I do still love that film.

This happened to Trump - he believed his own BS

One of the best speakers of all time.

Proof there is a God.

Not many reviews on this film. Enjoyed your review

Mercedes was a LEAD. Lewis earned it.

Person like him to day. Would never be accepted in Hollywood to day.

2:01 Who is this guy? He looks so familiar…

You watch impressions and paraodies of Orson Welles and the script they wrote for the sketch has him speaking in really overblown, uncommon English with large expressive and complex words. Then you watch a video of Orson Welles for real... And he's just talking like a normal person.

For those that don't know, this is actually a good Psychology clip. Without even realizing it, without likely ever having known an ounce of Academic Psychology, Orson Welles has effectively described the mind's Dual-Processing mechanism. There are two tracks of 'Consciousness,': Implicit and Explicit. As an example offered in one of my Psychology Texts, you go out and see a Hummingbird. While you are actively aware--Explicit Processing--that the thing is called a Hummingbird, that it's wings are fluttering, that it is drinking nectar to survive, you are 'Subconsciously' taking note of the varying hues in it's body, the exact rate of speed of its wings, its exact height from the ground, the actual and exact Rate of Speed of its wings and so forth. All the latter information is encoded and itemized and catalogues without your even being aware of it. Orson Wells nails the concept perfectly. Yet ANOTHER reason he's one of the Greats! :)

Most of what he says is what makes a good actor.

I will watch this every time it shows up on my recommended.

This man basically described modern day televangelism before it got out of control.

I get the feeling Deltoro watched this while making Nightmare Alley.

I love how Roger presses Peter about how the Academy didn't pick the more exciting choices like Being John Malkoviche. Hell, Fight Club and The Matrix are classics compared to what was actually nominated. I know some will defend Sixth Sense, but to me its dated and American Beauty didn't age well either (regardless of what was discovered about its star).

In the past, thinking of the 5 or 10 people of all history I would include at a table, Orson Welles always makes the list. Give me Jesus Christ, but I must also have Orson. That 20th Century genius that has to be present, a part of the whole.

Roger talked about Calcutta and Calcutta is in India 7:20 proud for m night shyamalan

Who else is here because of the John Candy impression?

I would give Orsen Welles 100 bucks to cold read me

R.I.P. Peter and Roger 😢

He,s not wrong never believe your own hype all the way

I enjoyed this. Thank you.

Watch this at 0.5 for full flavor

The new cold-readers are advertising algorithms. Creepier than any "psychic".

I feel that the word "genius" is one of the most recklessly used in the English language. Especially when used in regards to those who work in the artistic medium of film, television, etc. Are some sublimely talented? Yes. But geniuses? Not so much. I can think of two American directors that I would honestly consider stone cold geniuses. One of them is Orson Welles and the other isn't.
