The little girls parents were drug addicts (Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Tilly) who both died of drug overdoses while she finds this horrible c**t of a person and his moronic brother (actually moronic), and it gets extremely weird. It's like a fricked up version of Alice and Wonderland
>Jodelle Ferland plays Jeliza-Rose, a spritely young girl with negligent, drug-addicted white trash hippie parents. Her only friends are the severed Barbie doll heads she wears on her fingers. After her mother (Jennifer Tilly) dies of a drug overdose one night, she and her father Noah (Jeff Bridges) flee to Noah's mother's farm in the countryside of Texas. Finding it abandoned, they settle in anyway. Noah himself dies of a drug overdose on the first night. But because Jeliza is used to her parents being unconscious for long periods of time, she doesn't realize this and she leaves him upright in his armchair, slowly decaying, for the course of the film.
>Jeliza spends the days wandering about the estate with her doll's head companions and begins slipping into a dark, hallucinogenic fantasy. She encounters two backwoods neighbors: the mentally disabled Manchild Dickens (Brendan Fletcher), and his older sister Dell (Janet McTeer). Dickens dresses in a scuba outfit and is obsessed with destroying a "monster shark" he believes is stalking the estate (actually a train). Dell burned her father's beehives after they stung her mother to death and now believes all bees in the world harbor a personal vendetta against her. The two take Jeliza under their wing (in a sense), going so far as to preserve Noah's body through taxidermy. Dickens and Jeliza slowly develop their own kind of Puppy Love, while Dickens continues planning to destroy the train.

I watched the first hour or so because it was "from the same director of Brazil", but it's one of the most uncomfortable and infuriating pieces of shit I've seen so I had to turn it off.

>uncomfortable
in your trousers?
did you trousers begin to feel uncomfortably tight during certain scenes
i like monty python, their films, twelve monkeys was alright but overhyped at the time, and 2-3 of his other films were decent too, but brazil sucked anuses.
it really feels like the emperor's new clothes for those who like it, to me it was an empty, worthless film that felt like an extended scene from the office part of the meaning of life.
maybe i need to watch it again, it was a long time ago but despite having liked his other films for years before seeing it, i didn't find anything redeeming about it, also didn't like the main actor.
what do you like about the film?
Tideland is still kino though.
I like Gilliam but Tideland is one of his worst
Tideland might be my personal favorite of his
that's the movie where the mentally moronic freak is in love with a little girl and kisses her, right?
Yes.
what did Terry Gilliam mean by this?
kisse
Built
...for moron wiener lmao
?t=208
What did he mean by this?
What the frick
The little girls parents were drug addicts (Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Tilly) who both died of drug overdoses while she finds this horrible c**t of a person and his moronic brother (actually moronic), and it gets extremely weird. It's like a fricked up version of Alice and Wonderland
yeah but why did Terry say the 9 year old actress was sexy
skip to 3:28
I think he meant that she doesn't act her age and that she did such a great job that he forgets she's only 9.
Still a weird quote though
She still looks like a child with lipstick... I have no clue what he's talking about.
Your honor, my client thought she was 19 when he said that.
YOU SICK FRICK
Could it have been made today?

Pedo piece of shit. I feel such a strong urge to beat the shit out of him. I just want to kick his face and knock his teeth out.
t. doesn't want to admit he's feeling those sensations
Frick you, pedo piece of shit. I would never feel attracted to a little girl. Anyone putting this shit on camera deserves getting beaten the shit out.
>I would never accept that I feel attracted to a little girl
ftfy
Have you watched Tideland though? Perhaps Mr. Gilliam has a point

>uncomfortable
in your trousers?
did you trousers begin to feel uncomfortably tight during certain scenes
>And remember when you found out he was actually cringe?
No
What I'm afraid of if he's a commie freemason. That would put a crimp in my day and the last nail in my Hollywood coffin.
He's a brtish homosexual anon, not an American homosexual.
>spend 30 years trying to make a movie
>its forgotten a day after it finally releases
Probably because it was shot the day before they released it. It's like a direct to PBS movie.
I remember when Cinemaphile didn't talk like fricking 12 year old girls. I miss those days.... *sigh* -___-
This. I prefer when Cinemaphile talks about fricking 12 year old girls
Wtf he doesn't have brit accent
he's half american half bong
He's a Mong
us
a mong US
you had one jjob
He's American but he's lived in the UK since the late 60s, and he later renounced his US citizenship so he might as well be British
I don't care that the man is cringe, I have yet to see a bad movie from him. That said, I haven't seen Brothers Grimm.
>That said, I haven't seen Brothers Grimm.
I remember it was kino but then again I was a teenager when I saw it.
It was kino for that mud monster scene
No.
His movies suck.
Brazil is really good though.
The rest are pretty good, some are pretty not very good.
Twelve Monkeys was good too
Twelve Monkeys sucked.
No
I meant the terry gilliam movie not the recent tv show obviously
Wrong

the director's cut is really good
maybe i need to watch it again, it was a long time ago but despite having liked his other films for years before seeing it, i didn't find anything redeeming about it, also didn't like the main actor.
what do you like about the film?
Time Pirates and Baron Munchausen are his best movies
For me? Its The Fisher King
Everything after that just felt like he was flanderizing himself like Wes Anderson does
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was actually pretty damn good, probably his best film in over a decade.
