I just saw that Marlon Brando has died. How coincidental that we had already planned a viewing of The Godfather tonight with a friend of Dale’s from Salion; she’s never seen any of the movies, so what better place than on our giant telly? Dale and I were discussing him recently (came across Apocalypse Now Redux on cable one evening) and both agreed that even when his body sort of blew up at the end of his life, he still had incredible power on the screen. There was a not-very-good movie he did with Val Kilmer a while ago (IMDB tells me it’s The Island of Dr. Moreau, and even all painted up and old and fat, you still couldn’t take your eyes off him when he was in a scene. Good luck to him, wherever he may be.
