"Once Upon a Honeymoon"

(the wife is singing in the living room)
Mike (singing): I think owning a newspaper would be fun…

This rather odd remark is actually a line from Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane, which is considered by most film geeks to be the Best Movie Ever. But whatever you do, don’t ever, ever ask why, lest you incur hours of technical jargon/crap from pale guys who wear rectangle-framed glasses and Star Wars vintage T-shirts. Yeah, perhaps I’m being a little harsh, but I think Citizen Kane is slightly overrated. That isn’t to say that I don’t like the movie, because I do. But it isn’t God’s Gift to Movie Audiences. I don’t think any movie is. In any case, the title character (played by Orson Welles, natch) writes this to his benefactor, which really pisses him off, because young Charles Foster Kane doesn’t take anything seriously (as witnessed by the line itself). It’s kind of similar to Peter O’Toole’s line in Lawrence of Arabia (in reference to his trek across the desert), “It will be fun.” I think Lawrence of Arabia is a better film than Citizen Kane, and if I were a film student, I might explain why, and I might just point out the similarities between the two movies, but I’m not a film student, and it’s my day off, god damn it [pissed off at her computer, which is continually breaking down today…]
