No Woman, No Cry.

But hates old black and white movies.

Yeah I agree, I think that's his best work. Amazing film. Plus John Cazale. Watching those two old theatre buddies in action is amazing. And as characters so different from what they played in The Godfather.
Well, of course he does yell in DDA (ATTICA! ATTICA!) but it's always logical and exactly when a real person

Bull statue bukkake. Now that's kinky!

Heh, well Brando seemed to hijack every movie he made that wasn't directed by Kazan. His mind-fucking of the director of Désirée is pretty funny. And sad too, he was jaded with his career by the age of thirty.

I haven't read Lax's book but the John Baxter bio of Woody, which was published in 1998 and takes us up to Deconstructing Harry, covers the whole Soon-Yi debacle at length and is fascinating.

You misunderstood. I haven't flagged anyone. I just noticed that five commenters have been. I don't agree with the idea of censoring posts.
Offensive or not, they should remain and we can all reply as we see fit.
So I don't think I was being prissy or smug. After all, it sounds like we're in agreement about this. I

Well, Peter Manso's morbidly obese bio of Brando was an interesting read.

Five comments flagged for review so far. This story seems to have brought out the worst in some people here. For me it's just too sad for sick jokes.

Sounds like a Pedro Almodóvar movie.

Margaux or Mariel?

Well hope springs eternal. I hope you're right but I fear you're not.
But imagine the fuss amoung film buffs if it ever did turn up!
Jonathan Rosenbaum would faint dead away, like an elegant Victorian lady.

But he's no Tom Hardy. ◕‿◕

If I don't like an actor it really doesn't matter how talented they may be, I'm still not going to enjoy watching them onscreen. These three set my teeth on edge. Although, I will admit to liking The Hurt Locker but then Renner's character was meant to be an asshole.

While Lawrence and Adams are two of the best young actresses in Hollywood, unfortunately, Cooper, Bale and Renner are probably my three least favourite actors. Honestly there seems to be a huge gulf in the quality of male and female talent these days. Why do so many male actors come off as douches?

The original cut of The Magnificent Ambersons is unfortunately an impossible dream as RKO dumped the cut footage into the ocean. (Why? Out of spite?)
However The Other Side of the Wind is still waiting to be finished. Forty years of legal squabbles and still it remains unseen. Bogdanovich has come frustratingly

"Just the facts, ma'am".

"Two" features a brunette Elizabeth Montgomery paired with Charles Bronson. Not a great ep. but fascinating b/c of the cast.
