Brando

Wow.

I just went to the New York Times to finish reading an article and his obituary was on the front page.

I can't say that I have a lot of opinions about Marlon Brando -- I've only seen a few of his movies and my personal favorite is probably Guys and Dolls, a choice few Brando fans would probably make.

But he is such a name in acting -- it seems as though, as the obit in the Times mentions, acting is divided into before Brando and then after Brando. Film even has a way of dividing itself fairly neatly -- around 1950 things began to start changing, and Marlon Brando was one of the reasons.

He will be missed.
