Monty Python's Meaning Of Life
"I wonder where that fish has gone!" "You did love it so, you treated it like a son." "And it went... where-ever I... did go." "Is it in the cupboard? Wouldn't you like to know! It is a most elusive fish" "That went where-ever I did go." "Oh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!" "A fish, a fish, a fishy OOOOH!" "Oh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!" "That went wherever I... did go!" |

I knew really, I'm a Python fan. Who isn't in this country of mine?
![]() Speaking of Pythons, anyone saw Gilliam's newest? I haven't, am curious though. |

I never watched those. I once picked up Brothers Grimm in the rental shop but didn't get it in the end. Tideland didn't appear at all. I like his older works mostly. Brazil is a classic of the genre (I think it created a genre all it's own). Last thing I saw with Mr Gilliam was "Lost in La Mancha", I know it's not technically a Gilliam film but it's a wonderful watch. Tragic, ah, what might have been.

i think Gilliam's planning on reviving that film.
what about 12 Monkeys? a wonderful little piece of cinema. and Fear & Loathing? well...i'll be honest and tell you i saw it under the influence in the theater on a really bad trip. i guess it did it's job. The Fisher King is one of my all time favorite films |

If you didn't know already 12 monkeys is a remake/reimagining of an old short film called LA JETEE, by Chris Marker. It's maybe a little hard to find but highly recommended. I got it on dvd with another Marker film on the same disc. It's B/W, about 30 mins long, made up of (almost) entirely still images. and is one of the most profound things. Fantastic. Marker is an enigma. I have a spare copy of Time Bandits that I can't give away. No one wants its. Morons. Sure, it gets a bid mad at the end, but it's classic Gilliam. You want it? You pay the postage and it's yours.

but Time Bandits? I think i have it.....besides, i get the feeling you'd just send me 2hours of you dancing to the Kitty Cat Dance in the nude. |
