Marek Posted July 30, 2005 Here. Hmmm. That's fairly expensive-looking for a Terry Gilliam film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted July 30, 2005 Been looking forward to this, though the trailer hasn't really elevated my enthusiasm at all. I mean, the bloody thing starts with the word "In a world..." I know that the trailer isn't Gilliam's work here, but that kind of cliched nonsense is really offputting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted July 30, 2005 Gilliam is hit-and-miss. We shall see, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted July 30, 2005 that trailer looks extremely "guy in marketing has no idea what to do with the film so he orders that they cut it into 'stock trailer #2' format" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted July 30, 2005 You know, marketing people are very, very seldom brilliant and creative. I guess that is true of people in general, but lately I've been marketing types-hatin' more than the rest of people-hatin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted July 30, 2005 Yeah, the trailer was bullshit, but the stuff IN the trailer ruled. I can't wait for this movie. Look at it! It's got that great Gilliam fantasy-baroque look to it that seems awesomely anachronistic for 2005 despite how much polish there is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dingo Chavez Posted July 31, 2005 Nearly every Gilliam movie that wasn't Monty Python ended with me feeling ambivalent about it. I'll see it and judge it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought many of his movies were kinda so-so, they're not bad, just so-so. Now the Monty Python movies that he co-directed with Jones, they were genius. And the Flying Circus. Oh Monty Python...

Chris Posted July 31, 2005 Gilliam's movies are generally flawed, but I feel that the spirit and craftsmanship with which they are always infused easily overpowers their flaws. I really love Gilliam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted July 31, 2005 Fear and Loathing and the 12 Monkeys were quite amazing. Brazil was beautiful and everything, but kinda lame when all is said and done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted July 31, 2005 I like Brazil more than 12 Monkeys and way more than Fear and Loathing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
