Why were you mad? What specifically?
On one hand I was mad he didnât accept the award for such a great performance in such a great movie. In another way, I was mad he would be so arrogant as to grandstand about it, like a SJW. At the same time I thought it was cool that he would be such an arrogant asshole to the Academy who were such arrogant assholes.
What happened to Sacheen Littlefeather? I donât remember.
There was a moment where time stood still
How did you feel about it?
From what I understand she is still alive and well and still active within the documentary genre.
I think about it all the time, especially in the game of baseball. There is a sense of lament that in such moments while watching in the distance of some fishermen casting his fly-rod into a nearby stream, or a father and son playing catch, just as the sun is setting and when Summers are at their longest period, it beckons my resolve to remind myself what was important. It wasnât complicated.
I was also suspicious of Marlon Brando.
On some other levelâŚunavoidable reality, Marlon Brando did have some screws loose.
Cynical: Was it a publicity stunt.
âMe, famous white man, me help poor downtrodden Indian Squaw. See how good I am?â
I was suspicious of his motives.
I looked her up, yes she active and there is a 2015 documentary About Brando
I have not.
I think I am with you on the Marlon Brando perspective. In his latter years he became increasingly difficult to work with, and like most Hollywood celebrities their fame ends up getting to their head inflating their egos to getting out of control.
He was great in âApocalypse Nowâ âThe God Fatherâ âLast Tango in Parisâ and âStreet Car Named Desire,â he more or less went out with a whimper. His daughter Cheyenne, committed suicide and that was the last time I stopped paying attention to him.
One of the more unusual movies that I saw him in was the âMissouri Breaksâ with Jack Nicholson that speaks volumes of the eccentric nature you illuminate on.
They were just as crazy then as they are today!

Although itâs tiresome to watch for me now, his Mutiny on the Bounty was a beautiful film on the big screen.
But how about One-Eyed Jacks?
Brando hired Kubrick to help the writing to directâŚafter 6 months of development and a scattered Brando, Kubrick left because he saw he was going to have problem.
There is some sense of Kubrick in the final product but only vague fingerprints. Itâs an interesting movie. Here is the whole film. Brando directed.
Dam. Didnât know a "Pennebaker is associated with this production. I got to meet DA Pennebaker when his film Depech Mode 101 was completed. (Not sure if there is a relation) Also Slim Pickens? Karl Malden? Blast from the past! 
Never seen this film nor âMutiny on the Bounty.â
This reminds me of a something. âŚIt will come to me.
âŚten minutes laterâŚ
oh yeahâŚ
Brando also had Peckinpah and Rod Serling work on the script but werenât credited. Spielberg and Scorsese apparently just did a 4k restoration. Brando stopped editing it at 4hours and 40 minutes and gave up and had the studio finish it. They filmed additional scenes, but still cut it way down.
I need to check and see it the new restoration put back what the studio cutâŚnope still 2 hrs 21 minutesâŚThe restoration is on Criterion label.
Pennebaker was his production company name. There was no producer named Pennebaker involved here is something Brando wrote on a Christieâs Auction of the script
"ONE-EYED JACKS, 1961 Pennebaker had spent almost as much money trying to develop a good script for a western as it had on the story about the United Nations, but none of the projects, including a western based on the plot of The Count Of Monte Cristo, worked out for various reasons. Then I heard about a novel by Charles Neider, The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones, which eventually became One-Eyed Jacks, one of my favourite pictures. It was the first and only picture I directed, although I didnât intend to. Stanley Kubrick was supposed to direct but he didnât like the screenplay. âMarlonâ he said, âIâve read the script and I just canât understand what this picture is aboutâŚSo that was the end of it. I ran around, asked Sidney Lumet. Gadg [Kazan] and, I donât know, four or five people: nobody wanted to direct it. There wasnât anything for me to do except to direct it or go to the poorhouse. So I did. I constantly improvised and rewrote between shots and setups, often hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute. Some scenes I shot over and over again from different angles with different dialogue and action because I didnât know what I was doing. I was making things up by the moment, not sure where the story was going⌠I donât want to do it again - a director has to get up too early in the morning - but it was entertaining to try to create reality, make a story interesting and to work with actors.â
âThe Witchesâ is a really good film, I have it on DVD.

Have you ever seen the movie âLady in the Lakeâ with Robert Montgomery? This movie was ahead of it time in terms of style, and itâs my favourite Film Noir movie!

Yes I have seen it, Robert Montgomery directed it also. He plays Philip Marlowe, but you donât see him in the film you only hear him, itâs been a while since Iâve seen it, you might see him a few times I canât remember, but for the majority part you only hear him.
Miculek makes that movie look bad.
PT 109 and Rio Bravo.
Do not think either one was mentioned yet.
Rio Bravo is on the list

That is right, the camera is suppose to be what he is seeing, from his perspective . You only see him when he looks in the mirror. The best part is when he is punched in the face and all you see is the camera perspective falling down and going out of focus. Itâs why itâs such a brilliant movie. There was some aspect of dark comedy to it as well.
