Something I don’t think of as being in the scifi genre, but the movie is plain AWESOME, and I’d love to hear a discussion on Brazil. It’s one of my all time faves.
We could do a whole Gilliam arc with Time Bandits and Baron Munchousen, etc…
Which version?
Three cheers for the coolest HVAC enginner, ever!
Gotta go with the full version (142 minutes) not the ravaged 90 minute cut made for TV.!
Hear, hear. Though I have never watched that 90 minute version like ever. I can’t imagine what they’d cut out…!
I think a Gilliam arc is a terrific idea! Time Bandits! The Adventures of Baron Munchausen!
(hey, weird. I just noticed I always seem to find the second of any trilogy my favourite one. Hm.)
But seeing that someone also suggested 12 Monkeys on another thread, we could add that to the arc as well. I only watched that movie once, and while I remember going, “Ahah!” at the time, I now have no recollection of the movie at all, other than Bruce Willis as a little boy at the airport. (wait, or was it Brad Pitt?) It would be nice to hear a discussion on the whole timey whimey stuff.
Or, we could all go and watch Monty Python, which would be awesome too.
the 90-minute cut is also known as the “happy ending” cut. it ends towards the middle of the film, when he wakes up with his woman and life is good.
anyway i submit the Fisher King for the Gilliam arc, especially as a lead-in to a Jeff Bridges arc that includes the Big Lebowski, Tron (although we should probably just count the earlier DTA 'cast as part of this arc), Iron Man, and maybe Starman or K-PAX or something.
