Two or three or four years ago, my son would listen to a popular singer, Sam Smith, whom I dubbed "Mush Mouth," because he sounded like he was singing with a mouth full of mashed potatoes. My son got the epithet. Indeed, Smith is a mush mouth! His songs would show up on radio and my son would announce, "Dad, this is Mush Mouth."

Smith sounds very similar to McDonald in this regard. Neither understands that, as a singer, one needs to a-r-t-i-c-u-l-a-t-e now and then.

In a review of Last Tango in Paris I read this evening, the writer had this lots wrongo line: "As Oliver Hardy would say, 'What a mess we’ve gotten ourselves into now.'"

I don't think Oliver was thinking about a butt full of margarine

Matt, my web browser (firefox) will let me know when an update is available.
...and on my last computer i never updated it since c. 2013 - avoiding all the complications of incompatability with that operating system.

Brando and Bertolucci hatched the scene idea without Schneider, didn't tell her until time for the shot. Bertolucci WANTED her to be discomfited. She felt stressed and humiliated, and powerless. The sex was simulated but she regarded it as an assault and appallingly unfair and ill-conceived. Watch the film and you're seeing a real and real uncomfortable thing.
