Okay, I just read that cause I was bored, and that movie sounds great. I'm just wondering if anyone has seen it, and if they have, do they know which version of it to get cause that article didn't make it too clear to me.

It's #181 on IMDB and has bobby de niro in it, so I'm guessing someone has, so help me out :'(

It was OK, I dunno. I was kinda disappointed. It's from the same director as Monty Python and shit. I hate Monty Python. :mad:

Also, De Niro is barely in it. He's not the main character. Pretty gay. I didn't really get into it at all.

Terry Gilliam. He is good. He did 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

He didn't direct Monty Python on his own, he was just in it.

I haven't seen Brazil, aside from noticing it on a couple of times on TV. Jonathon Pryce plays the main character.

12 Monkeys is another overrated piece of shit that I hate from him.

12 Monkeys is excellent. You just made me realise what a gay lord you are, not liking it or Monty Python films.

It isn't proper sci-fi, with dress ups and conventions.

Brazil is awesome. 12 Monkeys is pretty bad and Triple A WTF you don't like Python? Do you like men or something?

WTF Monty Python was so unfunny. I was getting mad embarrassed for it. I would think you, of all people, wouldn't have liked it.

Holy Grail, and Life of Brian. Life of Brian I turned off after like 15 minutes. I was real excited to see it too cause the premise ruled, then I was so mad and couldn't take it anymore.

Did you see like the actual Gilliam version or what though? by reading that article there are like 5 different versions of it going, rating from totally awesome to utterly shite.

Life of Brian and Holy Grail are wonderful.

12 Monkeys is wonderful too.

The uncut, true version of Brazil was the greatest ever.

:lol: The "happy ending" version was awesome after seeing the real ending, because it just shows how stupid studios can be.

Brazil was so quirky, and visually special (can't think of a better word), that it's one of my favorite movies. Plus Terry Gilliam was born in Minnesota :cool:

He was the artist for Monty Python, btw. Hence his ability to be a quirky/good director.

Plus the theme song is the best thing ever.
