Terry Gilliam movies!
So it seems there is not one but two new Terry Gilliam films coming out. Both of which I had no idea about until I started seeing commercials for The Brothers Grimm, which I'm sure at least some of you have seen if you watch any TV at all. The other film is called Tideland, which is finished but as of yet has no release date.
This is odd that I didn't know about this because, you see, I was formerly very obsessed with Terry Gilliam. The first time I saw Brazil, I knew I wanted to make films. Every movie of his that I subsequently hunted down just cemented the idea into my head.
As I get older though (and after I saw his horrible "ultimate directors cut" of Brazil) I grow somewhat tired of his excess. He really has no discipline, either in production or especially in the editing room. The latter of which is what pains me most about his films now, being the self proclaimed "miz-aster edit-izaster" that I am. Somewhere along the line I became obsessed with efficiency in film making, and Mr. Gilliam just kept on doing his thing, totally obsessed with inefficiency.
That said, I can't say I am not totally fucking excited at the prospect of two new Gilliam films. Yessss!
