Marlon Brando died... So, that means Al Pacino is the head of the Corleone family now... He was a good actor, altough I belive he overacted sometimes (one eyed jack, maybe last tango), and in other times he just didn't care (superman, don juan de marco).

First Reagan, now Brando... Who's next? I bet it'll be Don Knots!

Brando was truly a great actor. See Guys and Dolls as an example of his versatility.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

yeah, he was pretty good in that movie. although I would have prefered it, if they had just brought the original broadway cast to hollywood and used them instead of recasting the musical with holllywood stars. Hollywood did that with a lot of broadway musicals. But they really butchered this one. They added a song for Nathian Detroit so Frank Sintra would have a solo in the movie, they took out 3 songs (include one that makes the ending make more sense) and replaced 2 others. This is one movie I'd like to see remade. I love Guys and Dolls but can't stand what hollywood did to it. No offence to Brando though.

Ric, though I know that Brando was a classic, talented actor, I do think I will honestly grieve Don Knotts's passing far more.

I know. I mentioned it because it's one of my biggest fears. #2 actually:

1- Turtles bitting me while I'm asleep
2- Death of Don Knotts
3- Airplane pilots
4- A Jesus idol thing gaining life thru magic, getting out of the cross and fist-fighting with me without saying a word
5- People laughing at me in my funeral
6- McG
7- A clown with a gun coming to the office and threatening my life and the life of my co-workers
8- The melting nazis from "Riders of the Lost Ark"
9- Astronauts
10- Cristopher Lloyd's Judge Doom character from "who framed roger rabbit"

You know, those actually aren't terribly outrageous fears.

Turtles biting you when you sleep...that would be scary...

You want fear??
Imagine watching E.T. at the age of 4. The scene at the beginning, with the running, rustling and high-pitched screaming, that freaked me out so bad.
The Indiana Jones melting Nazis did the same thing.

There isn't much anymore that "scares" me. Heights. Death. I'm sure if I came across a really big spider crawling on my bedroom floor some late night when the TV is the only source of light.

I haven't been scared as a result of a movie in ages.
Startled, yes. You should have seen me jump at Jurassic Park, when the T-Rex attcked the Raptor at the end of the movie. I had no idea it was coming.
But not scared.

But back on topic, alas, we have lost one of the great ones. And there aren't many of them left anymore either.
I just hope Dick van Dyke lives forever.

I don't think it's so "unfortunally".

Now, what I was really afraid when I was a kid was: astronauts (I found it eerie and creepy, not really afraid of), and Judge Doom from "Roger Rabbit", that one really f**ked my brains out. When Judge Doom gets crushed by that roller compressor thing, what I had left of sanity was throw out of the window there (back when I was 6, when I watched it for the first time, in 1988).

Today, I'm kinda afraid of heights when there's nothing below me. I can get into a tall building and look down with no problems, but I could not possibly get into a helicopter or a baloon. I'm afraid of airplanes too, when I get into one, I'm positivly sure it'll crash. And I dislike reptiles. And that's it.

I don't mean actor's deaths, I mean any death at all.
