Autoplay

Critic George Gallaher
declared that it wasn't
Africa
but
the March 1877 anal abscess
of 19 year old
gun-runner for right-wing causes
in Colombia,
Konrad
Korzeniowski,
l.k.a. J.C.,
that was the true 'heart of darkness'
and source of 'The horror! The horror! '

Method-mad Marlon's belief in G.G's theory,
I suggest,
made him contract to play his Kurtz
as anal abscess obsessed.
