Lost in La Mancha

Awww :(

I just saw this movie and all I can say is...sucks to be Terry Gilliam :( . The movie looks like it could have turned out to be awesome with the great cast and with Gilliam at the helm. It's basically a documentary that shows how the movie he was making fell apart. EVERYTHING that can go wrong in a film did. Anyway go see it and stuff...and if you already saw it then yeah post and...stuff.
Think while it's still legal.

Wait, I'm confused. Was the documentary by Terry Gilliam, or just the movie that the documentary was about? And was the movie a real one that got trashed, or made up for the documentary.



(BTW, <3 Terry Gilliam)

LOL. I wanted to see Lost in La Mancha when it first came out. I thought it was a pretty damn good idea. I love Johnny Depp, and Don Quixote. Since then, however, I have been introduced to the work and public persona of Terry Gilliam. To say the least, he is pretentious and his movies suck. I haven't seen the Monty Python stuff so I won't pretend that I know that this may apply to that too. But otherwise, Brazil, 12 Monkeys...the latter was alright, but the making of documentary made me lose all respect for the movie's director and most of my respect for the movie. It had a few good scenes, but Terry Gilliam acting as though any part of anything he says or does is original is utter bull****.

Actually, I liked The Fisher King, but that was probably entirely because Robin Williams is such an amazing and lovable actor.
