Lucky Bastards by KillingJoke	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:37:11 PM
Maybe he'll show up in Philly this weekend
damn it by Staldo	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:43:19 PM
Wow. I wish I was in New York. But I am stuck in Minnesota, Terry Gilliam's childhood home. (which he hates and has disowned, I believe)
saw the film last night by 3rdrate	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:45:24 PM
He gave a great QandA at AMMP ... too bad the film was terrible. There was dead silence following it.
Thats just an incredibly classy thing to do by IndustryKiller!	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:46:09 PM
If I was back on the East Coast right now I would be there with the qucikness. The guy is so passionate about his film he just wants to talk to the fans about it, it's nice to know that someone out there is a true artist and actually cares. I would expect anyone in the vicinity would attend considering he is one of the greatest living directors.
When it's playing in SoCal, I'll care. by scrivener	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:38:14 PM
Frankly, if it's only getting a NY release on October 13, I couldn't give a rats ass. That's a limited release in the same way Kingdom of Heaven Directors Cut was a limited release. Let us know when it's playing somewhere closer to the movie capitol of the world (I don't mean Toronto, either).
This is what the director of Brazil's been reduced to? by Riley Martin	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:43:02 PM
Shilling out on the street, handing out flyers for his OWN film?

No.
I think "Tideland" is playing in L.A. soon... by beamish13	Oct 4th, 2006 12:35:58 AM
I saw a poster for it outside of the Nuart recently, and I think it will be playing there soon.
isn't he dead yet? by Bob C. Cock	Oct 4th, 2006 12:43:10 AM
good for him for being alive still.

no by jonboy83	Oct 4th, 2006 01:36:34 AM
ill pass hasnt made a good movie since 12 monkeys
I would meet him on a train. by BannedOnTheRun	Oct 4th, 2006 03:26:47 AM
And I would meet him in the rain.
Do post pictures though by BannedOnTheRun	Oct 4th, 2006 03:30:02 AM
I want a shot of everyone in the Daily Show line as they're crushed by a giant foot.
what does he think about the screech sex tape? by the-man-who-falls	Oct 4th, 2006 03:33:12 AM
even my sex tape is better. than again my life-size cardboard cut outs of real women are more realistic than his.
Oh c'mon people by IndustryKiller!	Oct 4th, 2006 03:50:28 AM
Even if you arent in the area you should still give the guy props for taking it directly to the fans. 99.9% of directors wouldnt be caught dead doing something like this and 99% are far less talented than Terry Gilliam. Are you guys so fucking jaded that one of the greatest directors alive does something incredibly cool just for you and all you can think to do is ridicule? That's just disrespectful and pathetic. Go watch your DVD of X3.
The Daily Show staff... by Huffy_Henry	Oct 4th, 2006 06:40:55 AM
Why, exactly, do they deserve such respect? Fuck 'em. And fuck Gilliam, too. I saw the Brothers Grimm, muthafucka. Would one of the "greatest directors alive" make that? Hell no.
Just finally saw Lost in La Mancha by Jedi2dope	Oct 4th, 2006 07:53:11 AM
Man I hope Gilliam gets to make his Quixote movie, I thought what little bit we got to see was fantastic! Gilliam for president!
If he REALLY wanted to get attention.... by Orbots Commander	Oct 4th, 2006 08:40:48 AM
he'd be handing out flyers together with the Yankees. Woo-hooo!!! Go Yanks---Eat it Tigers fans!! Ahem. Excuse me. Anyway, I'll be in the office today in Port Washington, out on Long Island. If I had the day off I would've hopped the LIRR into Penn to catch ol' Terry working the streets. Oh well.
Damn by Doomius 2.0	Oct 4th, 2006 09:07:18 AM
I would love the opportunity just to sit down and pick his brain! He is one of the greatest directors of the past 30 years, but he never seems to get the respect he deserves! Probably because he is notorious for being difficult and always going over budget! Brothers Grimm was his weakest movie no doubts there, but it wasn't entirely his fault, the studios constant interference led to the final results, which is a shame because it looked like it had a lot of potential. Here's to hoping that Tideland, a film in which he had full creative control will be a return for him!

I'D GO OUT OF MY WAY TO MEET HIM! by Proman1984	Oct 4th, 2006 09:30:33 AM
Too bad I'm not in NY right now! Gilliam rocks!
Nolan should take tips from Gilliam by AnimeJune	Oct 4th, 2006 10:03:52 AM
on how to make Heath Ledger look like an ass-clown. Seriously, "The Brothers Grimm" was a piece of shit.
Reduced To? by BigSugar	Oct 4th, 2006 10:49:50 AM
This is the same guy who autographed coconuts, right? If you see that as a reduction, perhaps you don't know much about this cat, like say, his sense of humor.
Maybe Singer should have done the same by KillingJoke	Oct 4th, 2006 12:18:43 PM
Even he admitted the marketing/ad campaign for SR was weak. Props to Gilliam for not taking it lying down.
mattw nailed it! by Orbots Commander	Oct 4th, 2006 04:42:37 PM
Meeting one's favorite artists probably consists of uncomfortable silences and you end up saying stuff like, "So, great weather, huh?" and "How about those Jets/Yankees/Islanders?" A friend of a friend once met Steven Spielberg and his wife in Manhattan and was reduced to, Friend: "Hey, great to meet you, I'm a fan!" Spielberg: "Um, great. Thanks. Well, gotta go!" (Pulls wife along) Friend:"Um, yeah, bye." (Turns to friend) "Let's go hit that bar."
Why are you blaming Gilliam for Brothers Grimm? by scrivener	Oct 4th, 2006 07:22:58 PM
That totally was not his fault. He was forced to work with a shit script by shit-script-king Ehren Kruger, with Studio-enforced cuts, and studio-enforced actors. Gilliam did the best with what he had, but anyone who isn't a complete talkback douche should know this already (and should also know that Gilliam works best when he has total creative freedom).
DEAR GOD... by harold_maude	Oct 4th, 2006 09:03:26 PM
