Saw him in a public interview he did at the time of the release of 12 Monkeys. He was wonderful - went off in weird tangents - and particularly liked of the more obscure questions from some of the audience members.
This was awesome enough, that it was worth having to tolerate the audience clapping EVERY SINGLE TIME they mention a movie that Gillian did, regardless of whether the movie was already mentioned and clapped.
***** Not that I understand the geographics but I take your point. I've had some experiences in Britain where I couldn't understand a word ... naturally I put that down to the fact that I'm from Awstralya where we are in fact pretentious fuckers as far as accents go. Speaking of geographics, I'd rather listen to a guitar solo from Boston (not the band) than one from Alabama. (There's a joke in there.)
***** Over your head - that's because I was out of mine ... I think the vodka took over - sorry. My point was, I love the Bostonian accent but find the southern drawl annoying. Then I noticed the pic of you with your geetar and tried to turn "accents" into a musical analogy ... that was the joke. I fear that when I have to explain my jokes I should give up. As we say in Oz - no worries - just pass the vodka
The one spot where Willis 'almost' moonlighted his twelve monkeys performance was when he got giddy at hearing the music on the radio. He does that childlike smile that was almost in the same universe as moonlighting, but he was definitely one of the best things about that film.
terry has a wee bit of a dodgy memory. pythons were given 13 not 7 shows for series one and it was Barry Took not Barry Cryer who was comedy consultant at the BBC , if I may be so pedantic . still a brilliant interview though
Fcutdlady I recall in one of his other interviews he very briefly mentioned some sort of mental condition with remembering names. I suffer with depression and that interferes with my ability to remember things. The mind is a fragile thing.
I love this man's imagination. I absolutely admire the way he looks at the world.
Well said George . Gilliam is an amazing person

I was shocked with the films that this man has done....stunned that I just didn't know the scope of his brilliance outside Monty Python
Would be interesting to hear Terry's comments on Harvey Weinstein now!
When Rubin said, "these are comfy chairs" I thought Gilliam would make the face and say "COMFY CHAIRS?"
One of his funniest interviews! "I giggled in awe!"
Terry Giilliam is an amazing person
Lovely to hear that after years in Brit. he speaks English in a way that hasn't been perverted by the AmerICAN version of our language. Cheers.

He rules!¡!!!!!!!!!
Fear and Loathing was 25 yrs ago and his last great one.
Terry has always been surreal and absurd. You can see this in the animation in Monty Python.
He should play the Riddler in a Batman movie :-)
Funny Man, the world does have enough funny, funny lasts longer than sex and is something to look forward to the grayer I get.

I Giggle in awe or you Terry Giilliam
Terry Giilliam has always been honest about the people he worked with in Hollywood including Syd Sheinberg and Harvey Weinstein .
A less gushing interviewer would have been preferable.
Nice ending though re Mel Brooks.
👍😉😘🤗

A very scary man
