I was going to record my VHS to DVD but won't bother now. I'll keep the VHS just in case though. I was going to watch it on DVD but may as well plug that VCR in and watch it on that.

I wonder who the distributor is?

I am, I've just already expressed my satisfaction over at Thedvdforums, which you frequent.

Look again :shock:

It looks like Play uploaded early info which turned out to be all wrong. What is equally odd is "only" Play list it period, someone could e-mail them.

Ah well back to recording my video to DVD.

It looks like this is still going ahead but with an odd retitle.

No the films not worth 2 dvds, never mind 3. I would much rather have a great film get such a set, rather than such a average film with such a shit star at the helm.

What film are you talking about here?

I think he means Apocolypse Now, for some reason Romero hates Marlon Brando

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 18 Jun 2006, 11:52

Marlon Brando used to collect excrements of everybody. If you went to visit him at his house, his condition was that you had to bring a sealed jar of your shit. He used to have shit of many famous people.

Erm... OK. LOL! Thats wierd

Ohhhh-kaaay.

Well Brando ruined the last part of Appocolypde Now for me, and just gutted the films last act with his on screen persona.

Brando could not act, he was a complete looney and ruined most the film he was in with his pathetic demands and acts of ignorance and general violent, nasty attitude towards his co stars. I hate his style of mugging the screen for every frame he can (and every $ they would throw at his fat untalented feet). I have never seen him ever act anything but over the top and like some pathetic stage play drama queen.

For some reason I hate him? no for all the reasons I hate him, the endless list of shit the man did (and collected) was dire. Only Superman I tolerated him in, as he didnt seem his usual self in that and came off quite well, but we all know behind the scenes he was his usual self thats for sure on that film.

I am sure everyone else will disagree, but like I care.

Since when was Brando the main part? He doesn't even appear until the end, of which I think he does a fantastic performance.

Romero = the troll king.

Didn't Romero say he thought Al Pacino wasn't a very good actor or was it Bob De-niro? Either way enough said.

he was a complete looney and ruined most the film he was in with his pathetic demands and acts of ignorance and general violent, nasty attitude towards his co stars.

And that makes him a bad actor how exactly?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 18 Jun 2006, 16:32

If you dont see I cannot be arsed to tell you, do some research youself.

as I said Brando does no wrong in the fans eyes, which is sad.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 18 Jun 2006, 16:37

As Brad says how does his on set behaviour, arrogance or whatever, make him a bad actor?

I can't see it.
"Does no wrong in fans eyes" - eh? I'm sure most "fans" know what sort of person he was on and off set, why the feck should this impact on performances he gave as an actor?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 18 Jun 2006, 16:46

Tell me where I said that effected his bad acting, read it again.

He was shit, thats all there is to know. I am happy we dont have to suffer his bile films anymore. His acting in the Godfather is easily one of the worst acts in film history, but everyone loves him in that, even if he looks ridiculous and acts about as much as a fat man overacting his face off can. Ohh look a funny voice, give him an Oscar.

Okay if you insist:

"Brando could not act, he was a complete looney and ruined most the film he was in with his pathetic demands and acts of ignorance and general violent, nasty attitude towards his co stars."

If you meant "Brando could not act" and the rest of it to be separate you should've used a full stop not a comma.

Add to that that you think an actor asking for unfair demands will somehow show on screen and during the film too.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 18 Jun 2006, 17:32

You read it one way, your wrong.

Ohhh his off screen antics didnt effect his performance? thats bullshit, obviously you have never seen a documentary on any film he made, or any reports from sets etc.. He changed the roles to suit himself mopst the time and wouldnt even say certain lines, he made stuff up etc.. is thats not his own personal shit getting in the way of the film then I dont know what is. A lot of the time he wouldnt even go to the set to do his role, staying in solitude in his crazy own world while the film went downhill throwing cash away waiting for his arragant fat ass to get on with his job.

have you ever seen on the waterfront romero

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 18 Jun 2006, 19:08

I can say I have seen a lot of his films, but I cannot say which as a lot blended together sadly. I may have seen it

hard to say as I try to forget most films I dont like.
