Brando, Overacting, is Dead


Brando died today. The Times (Marlon Brando, Is Dead at 80) claims: The cause of death was being also withheld, but the theories cannot be too far from the truth: anorexia. If you thought he was fat, you should have seen what his self-image was!

Anyway, Brando was incredible in many of his roles but he was a horrible ham (badam-ching) is too many others. And I detest Elia Kazan movies so very very much that I need to discount his early years.

He was critical in "The Godfather" and necessary in "Apocolypse Now." The Times claims: Simply put: In film acting, there is before Brando, and there is after Brando. And they are like different planets I suspect the "planet" line is an intended entendre.
