Meanwhile, Terry Jones is suffering dementia. But no thread for that. Gotta have dat Gilliam.
Dem dutch angles
dem dutch fucking angles

when it crashes and burns I hope everyone will finally realize he's not "unlucky"

he's just a shit director with a terrible track record

>>81904132
I thought he had Palin as Quixote?

>>81904243
Dementia isn't a project. What are we meant to say? "Oh, that's sad." There's not a thread in that.

It saddens me when old people don't know when to stop

yfw he has a heart attack and they have to end the picture early

>>81904441
This attitude is completely contrary to auteurism, which is the only reason you care about directors in the first place. Some of the greatest films ever made were made by older directors.

You and your ilk need to disappear from my internet. Fuck you.

>>81904516
Yeah, this is probably a subject for /adv/, not really a cinematic matter particularly.

>>81904132
if he nails this he can have a go at dune too

>>81904548
Is your hostility to history connected to your hatred of old people?

>>81904539
This. Absolute Kino madman.

>>81904132
Reminder this marxist hates America so much he renounced his citizenship and said he hates all Americans.

>>81904563
plz no, let that shit die

>>81904539
When are you gonna list his good movies?

>>81904539
those are great, but basically everything after that has been dogshit

>>81904584
Why the fuck would this bother us? He left, he's not sticking around, good for him.

>>81904584
I like him even more

>Jonathan Pryce as Quixote

NOW, I'm hype.

>>81904132
>loosely based on the novel Don Quixote
>The Man Who Killed Don Quixote

*sigh* so, it is not a Don Quixote movie.

>>81904757
>Jonathan Pryce

he looks nothing like don quixote in the book

>>81905208
They could never do a real Don Quixote movie, it's a huge book and about half of it is irrelevant padding thrown in because Cervantes had a backlog of unsold stories he wanted to finally get paid for after the runaway success of the first volume.

>>81904612

Honestly, the only "bad" movie he's made is TBG, and it's still entertaining for what it is. His more recent stuff tends to be flawed for various reasons, but still fucking kino. I goddamn love Tideland.

Zero Theorem was way under-rated.

>>81905421
i hope this film doesn't turn out to be a remake of "Brazil", like "Zero Theorem" was.

>>81905421
Maybe if you've never seen brazil.

Like a shittier remake. Still 7/10 though.

>muh fresnel lenses

Why is don quixote supposed to be unfilmable?

Wishbone did it.

And it was staring a DOG. Seriously, gilliam is a joke.

>>81904584
>looks at America now

He made the right decision. But Bong land wasn't the best choice.

>>81905847
>implying Wishbone wasn't the height of DOG kino

Gilliam never stood a chance

>>81904196
No. I think he's interesting, though.

>>81905847
>unfilmable
it is not. just if you make it a movie, it'll be pretty boring, since don quixote is actually a comedy book which is not funny anymore. so, you have 2 options: make it a wacky comedy, or make it a boring art movie.

Why is he so obsessed with making THIS movie? Don Quixote was good for it's time but it's shit by today's standards. What makes it appeal to him so much? Did he lose his virginity while reading this book or some gay shit?

>>81906411
>shit by today's standards
shit buy comedy, still good by writing.
its like a art movie director trying to direct a comedy movie.

>>81906411
because it's a challenge.

>>81906476
>17 years to make

Damn right it's a challenge.

>>81904132
>loosely based on the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
DROPPED. You either do the real thing with the real plot (minus the stupid filler stories from Vol 1 about those guys that were cucking each other) and more modern dialogues, or you don't do shit

>>81906411
>shit by today's standards
Go put a pinetree up your asshole. It's one of the funniest books ever made. And the second volume is one of the greatest works of Mankind

>>81906411
>Don Quixote was good for it's time but it's shit by today's standards
7/10 bait many will fall for it
