While we’re on the subject, I think Apocalypse Now is an overrated movie in which one of the best fIlm performances I’ve ever seen (i.e. Martin Sheen’s) is all but squandered by one of the worst film performances I’ve ever seen (i.e. Marlon Brando’s). The entire movie is one long build-up to meeting Kurtz, and Martin Sheen sells the unholy shit out of describing Kurtz’s reputation and depicting the fatal fixation he inspires in people … on which Brando utterly—comically, if it weren’t so infuriating—fails to deliver. Brando’s reading of Kurtz’s radio transmissions sounds like something out of a bad comedy, and his personification of Kurtz is inert, uncommitted, mumbly, and completely lacking any semblance of gravitas. His performance as Kurtz effectively makes the movie an exasperating shaggy-dog story.

I love Bowie, I really do - but the thing on his forehead during the Ziggy Stardust era just looks like a giant pimple. He probably should have skipped it.

476The best ranch is mostly buttermilk with sour cream. I’m not a fan of the mayo gloop. Like most everything, you gotta make it at home to get the good stuff.zorg wrote: Fri Jun 16, 2023 6:30 amThe cult is just built on trying to be as obese as possible. I won't defend it, but I like it fine. It's really only half mayo at best. I prefer Tzatziki in all applications.tonyballzee wrote: Fri Jun 16, 2023 3:08 am I hate ranch dressing.
I really don't see why some people are so goddamned obsessed with it. Just go ahead and gloop mayonnaise on your salad, why don't you. Or dip your chicken wings in mayo. BLORP! Mmm, eggy.

I forgot about fast rage zombies. Don't really care for them, but The Sadness was totally rad and over the top repulsive. Dope movie.
