I love this movie. Two of my now deceased cats were named Jack and Parry.

Mine were Sagan and Lister. They were cosmic kitties... Yours must have been adorable! Was one broody and the other manicy?!? LOL

Jack was a gigantic, angry, black polydactyl cat. Parry was buff and cream colored. He was very sweet, and dumb as hell. They were awesome cats. I miss them.

This is a great movie, when Williams was at his peak. And I think it was one of the last movies that Gillian was able to make w/out extreme oversight.

Have you seen Tideland? Bridges is in that (shortly) also. The movie was so good that Gillian had to add a disclaimer to the beginning of the film telling people not to go mental about the plot.

But ...

I just finished working on a book chapter yesterday ... another on the Big Lebowski, and I couldn't not notice this

Sorry for the Repeat. LJ deleted my comments back to you guys.. cinematixyz June 18 2013, 23:46:46 UTC

Just like it won't let my Poll through, which had "Tideland" on it.

Everytime I need a smile, that Michael Jeter clip does it..

I don't know why that delivery is so funny to me.

I love this movie. It used to play regularly on one of the three channels I got, and I watched it every time.

Isn't that an awesome part... that whole scene in Grand Central is amazing. Gilliam blows my mind, EVERY FILM is soooo different from the one before or after...what was after this one...I think 12 Monkeys....THEN Fear and Loathing. He can do ANYTHING!!

Great Review cinematixyz June 18 2013, 23:35:10 UTC

Thanks for the great review. Gilliam, as you know, is one of my favorite directors whose body of work is matched only by Orson Welles, Kubrick and maybe Hal Ashby or Ridley Scott. I also recommend this or any film from Gilliam for fans who want a rich multi-layered experience. Gilliam's films get better with repeat viewings and can even change over time in a viewer's life. - Ximmer
