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.

Respectfully disagree. Brando played the defeated man, resigned to his fate but still in charge.

Karl Malden.

EDIT: I fucked up the formatting but you get the picture.

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.

The 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.

Overrated how? By the number of filters? Waveforms? Amp stages? Interface?
What synth would you describe as underrated?

Not salad, but I have been known to do this with pizza! Fries, obvs. Will report back on chicken wings.
