That movie never quite clicked with me when I first rented it on tape from Blockbuster back in the day. I do know that my dad loves it!

ā€œO Brother, Where Art Thou?ā€ is an outstanding film. I’ve watched it five times, and counting. The Coen brothers are stellar.

I don’t want to post this in In Memorium and don’t know where else to throw it. Sending Bruce good vibes.

Good, bad, I’m the guy with the gun

I’ve watched all of the Oscars Best Film nominee films. They each are spectacular in their unique perspectives and values.

I love Sinners, though, through and through. It’s broken the Academy Awards all-time record for the highest number of nominations for a single film: 16. Michael B. Jordan deserves the best actor award, and Ryan Coogler is one hell of a fine director, writer and producer.

We watched ā€œGood Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Dieā€ last night! It was nothing like what I was expecting. It was preety good. No Spoilers since it just hit Amazon.

It’s on my list for today or tomorrow.
Sam Rockwell is getting better and better, so I’m curious.
I hope the movie not too Terry Gilliam-like, though I liked ā€œ12 Monkeysā€ and especially ā€œThe Fisher Kingā€, I am not a fan of his ā€œdirtyā€ style…

He’s amazing. Baron Munchausen was an all time great, Time Bandits was awesome, Brazil as well…

Ah, forgot about Brazil! Great!

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and especially Time Bandits did not work for me. Also, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was plain bad.

Not available on any of the normal streaming services in France. The trailer looks like fun, but don’t die. [sigh]

I’m a big Gilliam fan. The Fisher King is one of my favourite movies. Time Bandits is awesome. Recently watched it again and it was just as much fun as when I was a kid. Fear and Loathing is amazing. Even Zero Theorem was good. I get the same kind of vibe from Jean Pierre Jeunet’s stuff, which I love. City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, and of course Amelie. Oh, and Guillermo del Toro’s stuff too.

How could I forget that!!! Really great!

My favourite scene:

The Man Who Killed Don Qixote (neƩ Lost in La Mancha) was going to be great, and the pivot to documenting the cascading failure to make it sounds hilarious.

I actually had no idea Gilliam finally succeeded in making it, 17 years later. It was apparently not great.
