Duvall had an innate sense of how to physically embody a character in terms of body language, posture and gestures.
I didn’t even notice that he didn’t duck for cover first time I saw Apocalypse Now.
If felt completely right that Kilgore wouldn’t flinch or be put out by explosions as he was war.
Robert Duvall is 95
Apart from his famous dialogue in Apocalypse Now, it was moments like this that made me realise how insane Kilgore was.
Bombs going off, everyone ducking but just a normal day for the Colonel.

Have been sidelined a bit by a head cold for the past two weeks, but it's finally lifting. Managed a light, 20-minute jog this morning and about 30 minutes of walking. It was tiring, but I'm glad I did it - I'm feeling pretty refreshed this evening.

"The US carried out more strikes in Somalia last year than it did in Pakistan in 2010 — the height of the Obama administration’s drone war — when these tactics were a matter of major controversy and national debate."

I adored Richard Linklater's Blue Moon, about the lyricist Lorenz Hart in the final days of his life. This is one of the great bar movies, with Hart heading to Sardis as former collaborator Richard Rodgers is celebrating the premiere of "Oklahoma!"

Blue Moon is a bourbon-soaked treat - funny,
