Just saw Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer yesterday (I have a 10-year-old, that is why, so step OFF), and have a long rant in mind. In the meantime: DON'T. Just...don't. *sigh*
I have a longer piece about Terry Gilliam's films that's been in my head for quite some time; I want to get at least a short version of it out of my head and on paper (virtual or otherwise) to see if it's worth it. I kind of think it might be a good pop-culture paper idea, or maybe even the basis for a film seminar class. A preview: Gilliam's Romantic (ie the cultural period, not the emotion or practice) use of the mad artist as pessimistic critique.

I'd love to read your piece on Gilliam.
I can almost divide my life into 'before I saw Brazil' and 'after I saw Brazil' sections.
Cool--I'll probably post it here and would be glad for feedback.
Yeah, I vividly remember when I saw it for the first time, and where, and with whom, and how I reeled out of the house afterwards feeling like my world had shifted about 90 degrees. And that was BEFORE the director's cut. ;-)
I saw the preview for Silver Surfer and remember thinking, I am SO glad I have girls....
