Marlon Brando

I have been watching a number of videos talking about actors and acting. To say that everyone respects the talent of Marlon Brando a great deal would be an understatement. He is held is very high esteem. So, the next time people start talking about actors and acting I am tempted to say (at the appropriate time),
"You know, I just don't think Marlon Brando was a very good actor." and see what happens.


When I worked at colorizing movies, I was constantly drawn into philosophical arguments on the artistic merits of colorization. Finally I arrived at the perfect response. I would tell people that my life goal was to "colorize every single photo that Ansel Adams ever took." This was such an "outrageous" statement that immediately the conversation was changed to something else and all the angry pressure was removed from the exchange.
