Gilliam is a great filmmaker.
But he went along with the liberal agenda all the way.

Thanks for posting that.
I’ve always thought of Gilliam as a fat, drunken swine. And there he is with the Boss Hogg.

What films are you talking about? If you mean political comments he’s made then I have no idea...

You need to get out more. Those are some really good movies. Not Academy Award winners, but decent.

How dare you equate the worship of shopping bag god to these delusionals!
I’m sorry to unintentially insult your personal style of worship. No pun intended with the word style either. Gosh. I just can’t get it right, oughta shut my bag, whoops, there I go again, offending the shopping bag deity.

Gilliam also did the cut out animations for Monty Python. “Brazil” was a masterpiece.

I am of course talking about who he and Cleese support politically.
