You can't make this stuff up. Nobody is THAT imaginative. Sadly, #DouglasAdams and #TerryGilliam are now obsolete. We still have #JelloBiafra, but it's not even spring yet.
@c_reider This film is my impulse answer to the question "what's your favorite movie" even though I have others and "it depends". Brazil tops them all for me.
I have that full criterion collection with the uncut version (and I couldn't say offhand what is different, haven't watched in years).
But yeah he's an ass. Still kicking, too.
Terry Gilliam – „Brazil“ (1985)
Wenige Filme haben sich so tief in mein Gedächtnis gegraben, wie dieses Meisterwerk von Terry Gilliam. Für mich, damals auf Augenhöhe mit Ridley Scotts „Bladerunner (1982)“, hat er, als filmische Dystopie, mein Verständnis von Totalitarismus nachhaltiger geschärft, als fast alles, was nach ihm kommen sollte. Und lieben konnte ich ihn auch. Deshalb gehört das Wort hier dem Meister selbst… (ZDF)
Monty Python: 50 Years in America
Did you know North Texas was the first region in American to broadcast Monty Python on television? That's thanks to KERA - the area's PBS station! Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam recall fond memories of their first introduction to Texas and the legacy that the station helped them build across the pond.
"...5 billion people will die from a deadly virus in 1997...
...The Survivors will abandon the surface of the planet...
...Once again the animals will rule the world..."
12 Monkeys, 1995
They were only 15 years off ...
3 things about Terry Gilliam’s BRAZIL [1985]
1. The restaurant staff discreetly move a foldable screen into place to shield patrons from the carnage.
2. “Don’t fight it, son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.”
3. Kurtzmann as paving stone creature with arms.
Help build a statue of Monty Python legend Terry Jones
In life-imitating-art: this was foretold in the film "12 Monkeys" (1995) by Terry Gilliam, starring Bruce Willis folks ...
"43 monkeys escaped on Wednesday from a research facility ... the Alpha Genesis test facility specializes in nonhuman primate research for the biomedical research community."

@hollywoodreporter I would have loved to be sitting at a nearby table while Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci were sharing ideas.
I once sat in a restaurant across from Terry Gilliam talking to some film people and once he left everyone else in the restaurant broke their cool and said "Omg, did you see? That was Terry Gilliam!!"
He was on form as well, many film making anecdotes. It's a wonder any film is made at all!
Rewatched Brazil
Me: Aren’t you glad we invented computers so we don’t waste so much paper anymore?
Me: You know, so our fascist bureaucracy can be more efficient.
I really enjoyed #AppleTv series #TimeBandits
Certainly it differs from the #TerryGilliam film but it was a good adventure with some laughs & pathos. Felt quite like #DoctorWho in parts and a lot better than most recent episodes of that, I’m afraid
1) Sorted out one of the two training partners I need for my next black belt test. Still feels slightly unreal. #Aikido
2) Kiddo ready for 1st day of #HighSchool tomorrow!
3) #TimeBandits reboot is better than the original in a number of ways - and saying that even though that #TerryGilliam masterpiece is in “core memory” territory for me.
Tonight’s 4K Ultra HD film is “The Fisher King” (1991), starring Jeff Bridges & Robin Williams. Directed by Terry Gilliam.
Released by The Criterion Collection.
A former radio DJ, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who was an unwitting victim of that mistake.
