  1. The #Beach at #Minehead is on the southern shore of the #BristolChannel, which eventually leads out to the #IrishSea. The town has this interesting #hill, which reminded me of the #Whale in #TerryGilliam's film #TimeBandits (if you know, you know). It think it’s a very distinctive natural feature.

  4. AI is for automating the typo in Brazil, but without the Monty Python humor, just the dystopia

  5. Terry Gilliam – „12 Monkeys“ (1996)

    Zeitreisen sind bei Terry Gilliam kein Versprechen auf Rettung, sondern eine Form von Gewalt. Erinnerung ist brüchig und die Zukunft bereits kontaminiert. Die Gegenwart ist ein kaum haltbarer Zustand. Das ist keine Science-Fiction der technischen Möglichkeiten, sondern eine Dystopie über eine Kontrollgesellschaft und über die Unmöglichkeit, Wahrheit gegen Institutionen durchzusetzen. Mit Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt und Madeline Stowe. (ARTE, Wh.)

  7. Terry Gilliam – „Time Bandits“ (1981)

    Die Kritik hat mit diesem Meisterwerk der Phantasie damals nicht viel anfangen können. Doch das hat niemanden von uns davon abgehalten, diesen Film lebenslänglich zu lieben. Und jede:r von uns hat eine andere Geschichte darüber. Für mich ist er vermutlich eines der größten Geschenke, das ARTE uns dieses Jahr überhaupt machen konnte… (ARTE, Wh)

  8. Just listened to a family member rant about the arbitrary and unfair bullshit they're having to deal with because of stupid bureaucracy and sent them this link because they've never seen it. If you're feeling it, seriously set aside some time and watch it because Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" is a masterwork with one of the most impeccable casts you will ever see in a movie.

    "Terry Gilliam Confronts His Most Absurd Legacy: ‘I’m Responsible for QAnon’

    Gilliam always knew that 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' would leave a cultural mark far outstripping its modest box-office returns. But he never thought it would morph into a kind of foundational text for the tinfoil-hat right.

    'I’m responsible for QAnon,' he says, half in disbelief, referring to the amorphous conspiracy movement that seized on the idea of adrenochrome — a fictional hallucinogen invented by Hunter S. Thompson and later amplified and distorted by Gilliam’s 1998 adaptation.

    (. . .)

    'The world hasn’t changed that much, but people have,' he sighs. Referring to anti-vaccine rhetoric, he adds, 'It drives me mad. I grew up during polio — vaccines stopped it. Now polio’s rising in Gaza. Measles in Texas. Then there’s graphene — conspiracies about Bill Gates putting metal in our bodies to control us. It’s insane.'

    Gilliam was speaking to Variety from the Torino Film Festival, where he will receive a lifetime achievement honor. Looking back, does he feel like the most American of British directors — or the most British of Americans?

    'Neither,' he says. 'Let’s be honest — that’s Ridley Scott.'

    (Scott’s 1996 film 'White Squall,' incidentally, also fed QAnon mythology, providing its rallying cry: 'Where we go one, we go all.' Strange bedfellows indeed.)"
