Who here hasn’t seen “Citizen Kane”? You haven’t? Or your kids haven’t, and they want to know why you get weepy every time you look at a sled? Or you’ve seen it 20 times already but can’t get enough of Agnes Moorehead packing every possible human emotion into the single word “Charles”? Or you’ll willingly sit through the whole thing again just for Mr. Bernstein’s monologue about the girl on the pier? Or you want to celebrate Rupert Murdoch’s demise ahead of schedule? Maybe you just think Marion Davies got a raw deal. All eminently fine reasons, so get yourself down to the West Newton Cinema on Thursday August 13 at 6:30 p.m. for the latest chapter of Ty’s Movie Club: Greatest Movies Ever edition. A lively discussion will follow – really; you should have seen the one that followed “Casablanca” last month. For what it’s worth, Orson Welles was all of 24 when he produced, directed, co-wrote and starred in “Citizen Kane,” so don’t give me any of your 20-year-old-YouTube-auteur nonsense.
