Remedy du Jour -- September 29, 2012

I've had reason to quote a couple of Terry Gilliam films lately, so I thought I would play some clips from his movies today. A former member of Monty Python—he's the one who did the animation— Gilliam has been a great filmmaker for nearly 40 years. Like his stuff or not, it's always visually amazing and the scripts are great too. Gilliam has never pandered for popularity. He doesn't compromise. So financing has always been a problem for him.

Here's the playlist—

• Evil explains how God fouled things up — from Time Bandits, 1981
• Terry Gilliam explains why Steve Spielberg is a hack
• The Coconuts scene — from Monty Python and The Holy Grail, 1975
• Harry Tuttle, heating engineer — from Brazil, 1985
• Central Services — from Brazil

How awesome is that movie? A renegade heating repair man? Brilliant.
