essines Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 How many threads are there about this movie? none that i could see ...but then again it's Terry Gilliam so anythings possible. Yours is the 3rd. http://forum.watmm.com/topic/47999-the-imaginarium-of-dr-parnassus-trailer/page__p__1098208__hl__imaginarium__fromsearch__1&?do=findComment&comment=1098208 http://forum.watmm.com/topic/45766-the-imaginarium-of-dr-parnassus/page__p__1043660__hl__imaginarium__fromsearch__1&?do=findComment&comment=1043660 I highly recommend reading those rules again. if i do a search and it doesn't come up then there is really nothing i can do about it. the rules are really not the issue in this situation. read the rules.

springymajig Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I saw this a while ago, and I thought the characters were vague, the story often didn't make a lot of sense, a lot of the acting was bad, and yet... I really enjoyed it... I really liked the look of all the imagination bits, they were really cool. The cg was not realistic in the slightest but in a way that works, like they were in a storybook/cartoon world. And Tom Waits is awesome but that probably goes without saying...

lumpenprol Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Munchausen is one of his best IMO, though I'm not sure a good dvd transfer exists (my vhs looks better than the dvd I have) what about the pedobear one that he did recently, was that one any good? come to think of it, Gilliam probably stands the best chance of turning out to be a true pedo, a la gary glitter.

springymajig Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Fisherking is awesome. Baron Munchausen is fun. Brother's Grimm is ok, not as bad as I thought it would be. I think Terry Gilliam ended up hating it cos it was largely in the hands of the studio. One thing about Dr Parnassus that Terry Gilliam really drums into the audience's heads is that he thinks he's a brilliant story teller, if only someone would listen to him. Which is not only pretentious but wrong. He's a brilliant director but story has never been his strong point. Brazil, for example, was co-written by 2 other people.

Guest Fishtank Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 So this movie suffered from 2 things slow pacing and lack of explanation of the Imaginarium itself The pacing should have been somthing more like a kids movie, I wanted to see lots of crazy imagination stuff from lots of different people and Mr. Nick raking in the souls. Rather, its slow and daunting at times. I was waiting for Parnassus and Tony to sit down together and have him explain full out how it works and what goes on and rules ect. we only get about 2 lines of dialouge about how the mirror works. I wanted to like this but it was too dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
