I'm just gonna "regift" my old copy and get this

 

[jackcool]

Eh, I get both editions anyways, kinda like I did with Hellboy

 

[kypade]

and you can send the extended edition of both to me.

 

[jackcool]

And you could send me 70 US dollars

 

[Rizpower]

Yeah, he can by a house for that in Canada.

Hmm. This is cool, but I don't need another copy of The Hard Goodbye. Especially if that factors into the price.

 

[The Watchman]

I know, I was thinking the same thing...

 

[Holly Goodhead]

Anyways.

 

[kritic]

I like Terry Gilliam. I'm not a huge fan, but I do value his work quite highly.

His monty python stuff, especially his Crimson Permanent Assurance short is a masterpiece. Such imagination in that 15 minutes, it's overwhelming. Everything about it is fabulous, especially the FX.

Heck, most of Gilliam's movies are wonderful FX wise. His Brazil is quite outstanding, and his Baron Munchausen is simply put a masterpiece (and still my favorite movie from him. There are very few live action movie as well done as this one. It's easily on par in beauty with the Dark Crystal, which is quite an achivement)

He's gone downhill, though, imo. His Twelve monkey was a nicely put together Sci-fi movie, far more intelligent than most others on the market. But I was quite saddened to see he left his inner child behind from that point. Fear and loathing is the closest junkie trip i'll ever have, i'll give him that. Great movie, but again I prefer his more children and comedy oriented movie.

More recently, I have no idea what to think. Of course, he's been unlucky. But that doesn't forgive his brother grimm. Intelligent ? Yes. But my god the FX are goddawful. Well, not always, but for a Terry Gilliam movie, it's intolerable. Disappointing, to say the least.

I saw at a festival last year his Tideland. Far better than Brother grimm. Very interesting little movie, but still far from his past accomplishments.

I've yet to see a Gilliam movie i've hated, though.

Fear and Loathing= A Terrible Movie, great visually but as a movie it's terrible. I dug Brothers Grim but I'll agree the FX was terrible and it felt kind of choppy, if you know what I mean. I always dug the lavish set designs and what not of past, it sad to see that go away...

My two favorite films by him are Adventures of the Baron Munchausen and Brazil. The imagination and sheer delight of Munchausen is great, it makes you believe in fairy tales. While I love the imagery and the messages behind Brazil.
