Reviving Brando
This is a really cool Quicktime movie that explains/shows how the special effects team resurrected Marlon Brando from the dead to put him in the new Superman movie. I wish I knew how to do that. Marlon Brando was still reasonably hunky in the 1978 footage. Things went terribly wrong for that guy, in terms of physical fitness. It’s always a shame when people go out with a whimper. But what’s the alternative? Dying young? That’s no good either. If Marilyn Monroe hadn’t died young, she might be like Elizabeth Taylor now, all drug-addled and weird. Buddy Holly might be like Michael Jackson. Aaliyah might be like Whitney Houston.
Maybe Brando’s role in the new Superman movie will help people remember him closer to his prime.
It was really hard to get out of bed this morning. A loud thunderstorm woke me up a few times during the night, so I was extra groggy, plus it was really dark out. I like weekend mornings like that, when I can just cuddle up and go back to sleep. Wednesday mornings like that are not quite so good. I had coffee, but it still isn’t quite doing the trick. Too bad I don’t like crystal meth.
Wasn’t Norma Jean already drug-addled and weird when she died?
I’m really looking forward to this movie. It’s getting very good advance reviews.
Yeah, she was, but at least she was still pretty. Kind of like Kate Moss.
LOL @ Kate Moss. Indeed. Although one wonders (“one” being me) how long KM can continue to abuse herself before her youth gives way. At the very least, she can say she’s not dating this joker.
