cognitivedissonance Man, ever since Brothers Grimm he's been on a race to out-plagiarize his own plagiarists.
Binro the Heretic Is this a movie Gilliam actually cared about or is it just another paycheck to fund one he does care about?
Merzbau From all accounts, it's the former- it's a Gilliam/McKeown script, like Brazil and Munchausen. The reviews at Cannes were pretty mixed, but they always are for Gilliam movies, even the brilliant ones. If nothing else, it looks like this will be gorgeous and give Tom Waits a chance to ham it up like crazy, so I can't really see how it could fail.
TimbolinoBilchard Oh, but you clearly overestimate the moviegoing public. I'll probably go see it, I think.
Merzbau Oh, I didn't mean FINANCIALLY. It's Gilliam, so I'm assuming it will flop on a historic scale no matter how great it is. I just meant it can't possibly fail to justify the ticket price for me and a few other sad obsessives.
Riskbreaker Gilliam hasn't done anything good since Fear and Loathing, but this one do looks quite fine. Hopefully it delivers.
FeeFiFoFoTheFifeFifeBrown It "looks" like a lot of CGI HAUGALAUGULAGUH + JOHNNY DEPP. It looks like Tim Burton circa "Sleepy Hollow."
I hope to hell that it's more in line with Munchausen.
Riskbreaker Some of the CGI does look kind of crappy, but i can live with that. Depp is a good actor too, he just spends too much time working with Burton.
Unmerciful Crushing Force This reminds me that I need to go see Tideland to make sure that the Brazil Gilliam might still be alive somewhere.
fluffy I saw this movie stoned. It is so far the only time I've actually been stoned. I'm not sure if it made the movie better or worse, but I didn't like it either way.
After that I saw Santa Claus Conquers The Martians without any MST3k/RiffTrax/CT treatment and I had a legitimate freakout in during the shit-goes-crazy scene toward the end.
