Gilliam Fucked



Poor Terry Gilliam. I just realized the Death of Heath (that rhymes!) means the Gilliam curse is in full effect:

The future of Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” has been thrown into question following the sudden death of its star Heath Ledger.
[...]
Ledger’s involvement in the project was a key factor in raising the finance. He had a strong relationship with Gilliam from their last pic together, “Brothers Grimm.”

In November 2000, Gilliam was forced to abandon his $32 million indie project “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” after just a week of shooting, when his star Jean Rochefort was too ill to continue.
Yeah.

  2. I disagree completely. All his movies are good and a few are excellent. Brazil is brilliant. The only Gilliam movie I'd call bad is Jabberwocky.

    But we shouldn't forget that the biggest numbskull is the one pictured in this post. I mean, look at him.
