things richard burton claimed to dislike about the irish

yeah as i suspected. i've been sucked in!

Constructing a positive national or racial identity is difficult work, especially when you've got overbearing conquerors who construct their own racist version of your identity and rub your nose in it on a daily basis. The irish are far from alone in that.

are you of irish descent aimless?

Being a typical American, I am of mixed european descent, but my patronymic traces back to Co. Tyrone, circa 1850, and I identify with the irish more than, say, the germans or the english.

jed that is hilarious

i would be tempted to do some sleuthing and report the rape allegation to the....uhm....local garda

Oh, I should add that I've an uncle who's a priest, but my father left the church in disgust. This never caused bad blood between the two of them, though. It was a large, tightly-knit family.

aimless, no americans ever identify with their german ancestors

this is one of the reasons i am going to be my thread of great german americans eventually

the worst thing about national self-stereotypy is the 'x culture is about close-knit families'

funny you mentions all that nilms, turns out i'm irish! i always figured we were german. my mom's fam is all german. i figured my dad's latter-day hibernomania was total crap; we have an irish name but none of the other trappings. but i quizzed him, and dad's dad moved to the midwest from bklyn during ww2 and thank christ dropped his catholicism to get married. just think, i could have a whole other set of psychic fetters. that's my fackin story.

Jed any chance you copy all ilx in on that mail

Alway had goole down as one of us tbrr

My purely german-american grandmother had three sisters. Their father strictly forbade all of them to consort with irishmen. Of the four, three of them married irishmen and the fourth become a nun. I guess they didn't identify well with the german side of the family, either.

He set every paddy in the territory on alert with that challenge tbh

Welles lavished praise on actors he admired such as Joseph Cotten, his co-star in The Third Man ("brilliant") and John Wayne ("some of the best manners of almost any actor I've ever met in Hollywood"). But at others he hurled insults. At one point another titan of acting, Richard Burton, approached him in the restaurant, saying: "Elizabeth [Taylor] is with me. She so much wants to meet you. Can I bring her over?" Welles replied: "No. As you can see, I'm in the middle of my lunch."

When you're a conspicuous genius and aging enfant terrible there were certain conventions which must be upheld and rudeness to Richard Burton was one.

never get between orson welles and his lunch

especially when he was working on the second bottle

see Welles thread for the full story, slowpoke
