Orson Welles. Everything Christian Bale will never be. Except dead.

YouTube Preview ImageMost Christian Bale fans won’t know the name Orson Welles. So please allow us to contrast the two:

Welles was called The Boy Genius. Bale isn’t.

Welles was an Academy Award-winning actor, director, writer and producer. Bale isn’t.

Welles wrote, produced, directed and starred in Citizen Kane, often called the greatest film ever made. Bale played Batman.

Welles also had a magnificent voice. In the later years of his life, he was paid obscene amounts of money to use that voice in commercials. The attached audio track is famous. It’s made up of out-takes from a London recording session in which Welles picks some unfortunate English ad agency people to pieces. But unlike Bale, he does it without losing his dignity.

Orson Welles is dead and Christian Bale is alive. Definite proof that life isn’t fair.

Please see our previous story today called Christian Bale is a stinkin’ #%&*@ to hear Bale’s audio. Contrast the two.

This is a bad argument. Orson Welles wasn’t acting as a person going crazy when he did this. Christian was acting the scene in Terminator where John Conner displays some of his mentally insane genes that his mother Sarah had in Terminator two. He was right in the middle of being in this character when a set man walked in the scene behind his costar who he was looking at. The set man had already done this several times and been warned not to do it. And even though that sounds like a good excuse to do that Christian called into a radio station that was known to make fun of him excessively and apologize. I’m not saying Orson Welles isn’t “classy” or one of the best actors of all time. I’m saying your making a bad argument by flipping things and taking things out of context.

Most hot dog fans won’t know about filet mingon. So please allow us to contrast the two:

Filet is whole slices of beef cooked to perfection. Hot dogs are not.

Filet is prepared daily by award-winning chefs. Hot dogs aren’t.

Filet is takes time, care, and talent to prepare, often called the greatest meal ever made. Hot dogs get slapped on the grill.

Filet also has a magnificent taste. Throughout the years, people have paid obscene amounts of money to be served this dish. The dish is famous. It is made up of the finest beef with which chefs char-grill to perfection. But unlike hot dogs, it tastes good without being disgusting.

Filet mingon is expensive, and hot dogs aren’t. Definite proof that life isn’t fair.
