Movies
Just got back from seeing The Brothers Grimm. Meh. Hate to say it, because I love Terry Gilliam, largely for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, one of my favorite movies and one which I use to test people. If you don't love that movie, I don't understand you. Brazil, on the other hand, gave me a headache. But that might be because I saw it back in college, at Hogg Auditorium, in the front row. In a wooden seat. Probably at midnight. Perhaps I should see it again.

M, it gives me a headache too. I can appreciate that it's a great film - think of that Macintosh commercial? - but still...I did like The Brothers Grimm but had this one thing. I wish he'd focused on the fairy tale within the story and gotten rid of the silly framing element. I'm all about silly when it makes sense, but the fairy tale was so strong and so fascinating. It's like he can't let go of Monthy Python and can't decide what he wants to be.
