The new (posthumous)Shel Silverstein book is as amazing as you’d hoped, originally uploaded by pazonada.
Am going to this. Am so excited. You should go too, if you’re in New York. Because nothing says Christmas more than youth jazz trios and toddlers dancing to selections from the Nutcracker in Harlem.
I’m not a big Jimmy Fallon fan, but MAN this is funny. Thanks, @klaus_kinski.
I bring you these gems:
1. Best goodbye movie scene ever, but only understood in its proper context. Beware the sudden and gratuitous violence.
2. A new take on an old (and related) meme:
Today’s video comes to you from my friend O. in the Netherlands.
Am I bothering your focus by rocking back and forth?
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything Marlon Brando-related. Please accept my apologies. To compensate, I bring you this gem from the early 70s — a rare, normal-ish interview where he’s actually discussing the industry. Most people think of Brando in this era a la Godfather and Last Tango, but he was also fresh off the world’s strangest film ever, The Nightcomers, and spending more and more time on his Tahitian island broadcasting anonymously over his ham radio as “Martin Bumby”, debating philosophical issues with random fishermen and amateur DJs.
How many fun facts do I know about Marlon Brando? TONS!
How many books do I own about him? TONS!
You are welcome!
