The Daily Movie Wallpaper

Here we see a young Charles Foster Kane given a replacement sled named “The Crusader” where a terse, “Merry Christmas” is exchanged. This moment although incredibly brief offers a key piece of the puzzle in helping to unravel one of the greatest secrets of cinema lore… Rosebud.

 

If you are a fan of Citizen Kane and/or Orson Welles, I recommend checking out the new Richard Linklater film, Me and Orson Welles, where Christian McKay gives a commanding performance playing Mr. Welles. If you have already seen it be sure to show your support and tweet: Christian McKay as Orson Welles for Best Actor #oscar

 

Richard Linklater mentioned last night at the special screening of his film at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar that he recently helped and took part in a plaque (along with the daughter of Mr. Welles) honoring the Mercury Theater in New York being placed on it (currently is an office building that without the plaque one would probably never know what it once was). Mr. Linklater noted of Mr. Welles that he was born in the perfect time to master theater, radio and cinema but ironically at the wrong time to be an independent filmmaker and how today’s set up would have much better facilitated his filmmaking career.

New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day

For contemporary films I don’t recall seeing any like Bruno (official site) release so many non-production publicity stills. These type were much more common decades ago but not so much anymore. In the case of Bruno it works to sell the movie more without giving too much away.
