    I do love #TerryGilliam movies! #TheFisherKing is one of my all time favorites. I've only seen it once but it seems it's available on Amazon Prime. Maybe it's time to invest a couple of Euros to see it again... :blobthinking:
    (Oh and I do love #MonkeyIsland, too - all of them - with the ones by @grumpygamer beeing my favourites, what else :ablobwink: )

    #TheFisherKing is a go to movie for me when I need some inspiration.

    The duo of #JeffBridges and #RobinWilliams on screen together is really something special to watch.

    #MercedesRuehl and #AmandaPlummer just add to the power of this film.

  3. Among the works I'm rereading and working on, T.S. Eliot's #TheWasteland also rekindles my love for Arthurian myths, which was partly informed by Terry Gilliam's beautiful film #TheFisherKing. And my mind is wandering about on #ttrpg realms. A one-off adventure maybe? Set in 1918, 1945 or 2023? Definitely a quest. Which system? A light one, narration-based, with shared creative authority.

  4. “The Fisher King, whose portrayal as an angler accounts for his title, is blighted by a wound that will not heal and, because of this injury, the land he rules wilts into a wasteland. Both he and the land will only become well when a knight asks the right question.”

    T. S. Eliot and the Holy Grail

    The Nobel Laureate drew on a centuries-old legend when he put the Fisher King in The Waste Land.
