the last stage of the desperate completist - do you love Orson Welles this much?

Of course, this is always mentioned by Wellesers in a sorrowful tone, but the fact remains that Unicron is awesome, Welles is awesome, they were both connoisseurs in fine dining, and both could be charaterized as spheroidal.

God, was that Transformers movie shitty. But what other film combines the talents of Welles, Judd Nelson, Scatman Crothers, Eric Idle and Leonard Nimoy among others, though? While watching BOOGIE NIGHTS, I was highly amused to hear Dirk Diggler and sidekick singing one of the songs from it in their ill-fated stab at a musical career.

I thought The Transformer's Movie was kind of cute- in spots, that is. It's amusing to hear Welles' voice electronically altered, and I believe that may have been the only time it was ever done.

It's too bad Welles didn't get a chance to do more for kids. There's the screenplay he did for THE LITTLE PRINCE and the snippets he directed for DAVID AND GOLIATH, and a few of the radio shows were aimed towards youngsters, but the only kid's film that he ever had any significant creative input on was the mediocre Treasure Island from 1972.
