"Anybody named Terry gets to direct the film,"

I will never, ever not love those boys.

I wonder if Conrad Poohs can still make 'em dance.

Tideland is one of the WORST movies I've ever seen (not in quality of film making, but in terms of content).

Brazil, Fear and Loathing, and Time Bandits are awesome, though.

Tideland was filmed so beautifully, but the movie was the creepiest thing I've ever seen. NEVER AGAIN.

12 monkeys = one of the best movies ever.
As is Brazil.

Heard you loud and clear.

/movie made me retch on several levels
//love his other stuff

better than Blade Runner

if there is anything that helps get a message across, it's four hours of non stop film.

/my ass hurts.

Oh, Brazil. I have such a love/hate relationship with that film.

So this one time I was watching The Brothers Grimm and didn't really understand what the hell was going on until I finally realized that that TG must have done the movie. Then it all made sense. Well, not really. But I felt comfortable knowing that it was a sort of chaos-on-purpose.

Does anyone stamp his movies with more personal style than Terry Gillam? Maybe Tim Burton?

I would say Hitchcock.

/Love me some Gillam

Gilliam has so much in common with Welles.

Fear and Loathing was awesome. Competely turned me off drugs.

Having seen Lost in La Mancha, I could only imagine how Gilliam felt when Heath Ledger died midway through filming Dr. Parnassus. The guy is a shiat-magnet. I'm glad he keeps after it.

It's based on a book you know. And yes the content is disturbing but perhaps it says something about the type of person that can and can't handle the subject matter?

I thought it was great. Not an easy film to watch but great nonetheless.

Munchausen is still the best though

I know it's based on a book. But there are some things that I would rather read in a book than watch in a film.

Case in point, I love Chuck Palaniuk's book Haunted. Would I ever want to see a film adaptation of it, even if filmed by the most talented director in Hollywood? Hell no.

/More bothered by the fact that a child actor was asked to do the things in the movie, than what the movie was portraying.
//Fictional pedophilia is easier to digest when no children are involved. PERIOD.

That's true about anything, not just film. The work-around is to use your own money.

I read about her around the time the film was being made, and from what I gathered she was very mature and well adjusted for her age, and understood on some level the issues that were being portrayed with her character. Which is a big reason why she got the part.

Young actors/actresses are much less innocent than we tend to think.

Ok, her being mature enough to handle the role != me wanting to see a kid be kissed by an adult man. I was fine with the movie until that part. It just freaked me out.

I guess that makes me the kind of person that can't handle pedophilia. :/

Something to keep in mind is that, much like cinematic violence isn't violence, the cinematic abuse of children isn't abuse. Still, can't say I'd want to watch it again.

Jeez, Mario and Luigi reallylet themselves go...

Pizza Jedi,

Ha, I thought the same thing. How about Super Mario Bros directed by Terry Gilliam?

Snatch Bandergrip: Pizza Jedi,

Well...it might actually contain stuff from the game, them. I'd go with the storyline from 3...maybe the Super NES version.

Who's Terry Gillam?

/can't believe no one else said that first

catzies: Who's Terry Gillam?

/can't believe no one else said that first

The dude that directed The Fister King.

Damn Cuchulane, right out the gate. Jeebus.

*Leave Heath Alone!! ::Wail - Mascara Run..::*

I loved both Münchhausen and Brothers Grimm (Not his fault it was turned into a cinematic poochscrew) and I'm really looking forward to seeing Doctor Parnassus. It hasn't got an American distributor yet which I don't understand, Every other country on the planet bought it. I've read the reviews from Cannes and Munich and everyone loved it, so what are they so afraid of? Maybe we'll hear something after he brings it to Comic Con this month.

There are some folks Here that are trying to give it a good push. Terry can use all the help he can get! *Wink, Nudge*

I was really glad to see Tideland after the craptastic Brothers Grimm. Grimm looked like Gilliam trying to make a kids movie. Tideland was a return to form--a brilliant director tackling difficult issues with verve. It wasn't on the level of Brazil, but it was damn good. And he didn't mess the book up too much.

The film he made and the one that was shown in theaters were two different things. The Weinstein bros. tore that film apart. I would love to see what he really shot in a director's cut. I'm sure it was something much more Gilliam-esc in its original form.

Tideland = Brilliant

but yes, I won't be seeing it again either.

Fisher King is his best work. Also Jeff Bridges' best work. Also Robin Williams' best work. And Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plummer's best work.

Rare when you see that many people peak at exactly the same time, but I think that was the case.

/been humming "I like New York in June" ever since, dammit

I find his films to be lacking in some way.

They are just to... to airy? They catch and hold a mood quite well, but they can get to be abit to dream like for me. Like a beautiful painting that was torn to shreds and stapled back together.

Its great at evoking a mood, but i just cant get my self to be gungho over his stuff.

Unless im stoned. Then its on like donky kong.

towatchoverme: Fisher King is his best work. Also Jeff Bridges' best work.


If you have not heretofore done so, check out Peter Weir's "Fearless". You might revise this statement. I know that I did (although I'd rank TFK as second runner up of all the film roles that I've yet seen him essay).

/criminally unsung actor.
