If you're a Terry Gilliam fan, first, he's alive. Second, don't read this interview...

[Dennis Donovan]

It will break your heart.

1. Yikes!😳

[Dennis Donovan]

2. He's trending on twitter...

[dewsgirl]

15. Quite a few let downs in this department lately.

[TEB]

3. Wow

[maxrandb]

4. He's 79 and still has a rat tail?

What a fucking moron

[Docreed2003]

5. Damn...

That's...that's something. Maybe I'm an idiot, but has he always been this boneheaded and bigoted/misogynistic?

[Dennis Donovan]

6. If he was, it never came across in his work...

...but I might not have been as "woke" back then.

[Docreed2003]

8. Lol...maybe I wasn't as well

Now I'm actively thinking about his past work...

[UniteFightBack]

7. Would he prefer it be just 'men are responsible' rather than white men...would that fix it? nt

[Siwsan]

9. I've never been a fan and, for some reason, that headline doesn't surprise me.

I am an avid Monty Python fan, but never once saw much value in Gilliam's participation, aside from his writing. His animation added nothing, for me, but then I'm not a big fan of strange animation. His "performances" were so forced and amateurish, it is uncomfortable to even watch him.

A few months ago, I was persuaded to watch one of his films (The Man Who Killed Don Quixote) and I was left far beyond unimpressed, despite me being a HUGE fan of Jonathan Pryce.

Most of my friends think he is brilliant, so I guess it's just a question of taste.

[BKDem]

10. I think Brazil is a brilliant movie.

I won't read the interview. There is no defending Harvey Weinstein.

[Peregrine Took]

18. I loved the plastic surgery parts and where he lived and worked.

That was the best - the part I didn't get was the whole girl flying with the wings - couldn't stand her.

[smirkymonkey]

11. What a dick!

Always my least favorite python. And the least talented. He makes me sick.

[Cartoonist]

12. You're doing it now.

"I’m tired, as a white male, of being blamed for everything that is wrong with the world.” He holds up his hands. “I didn’t do it!”

[Mossfern]

13. I read the interview

and I thought it was fine.
Maybe I'm not"woke" - whatever that really means.
I'm just a little old lady who thinks he's hilarious.

I grew up in a pre-feminist world, was victim of several "me too" type behaviors.
I still think he's funny as was the interview.

Please refer to Trin Tragula and his amazing machine.

[a kennedy]

30. Really??

Well good for you that you found DU....

[JCMach1]

14. Diva, contrarian and now trollish asshole

His filters are gone...

If you read the interview he's trying to be cute and cerebral, but yes comes off as trollish asshole...

Fuck this guy and rewatch Brazil. While satyrical, it's the dystopia that we are closest to...

[Ron Obvious]

16. I don't see the problem

If you're heartbroken by this interview, you need to get out of the echo chamber you're living in more often.

[chowder66]

17. What was supposed to break my heart in the interview you don't want us to read but posted anyway? nt

[Dennis Donovan]

21. Read it.

I don't have to post text to a story if I choose not to.

[chowder66]

25. I did read it. That's why I asked. And of course you don't have to post text. I didn't ask you to.

Even if I did ask you still don't have to.

I was just asking what you find heartbreaking?

[ismnotwasm]

19. Another misogynistic asshole

There are tons of them, in all fields. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially from that age group, although it crosses age boundaries. He’s no doubt an old perv. Talented though.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. Michael Palin has always been my favorite.

He'd better stay sane!

[JenniferJuniper]

22. He will

Michael will always be his charming, adorable, funny self.

Never much got the cartoon guy. Always ranked him way lower than Idle.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. I loved his travel shows.

He'd be fun to travel with.

[JHB]

23. Let me nomnate him for the Peter Sellers Award for...

..."God, I loved your work but you're such a jackass terrible human being."

[BKDem]

29. Woody Allen is another nominee.

I can still watch Peter Sellers and Terry Gilliam movies. But Woody Allen’s illness has shown up in his recent films, destroying all of them for me.

[samnsara]

26. i wont read it.. I watched Monty Pythons Flying Circus this morning..

..thats them in my mind..

[ms liberty]

28. The marathon? I watched them this morning, too, I think IFC channel?

I have always loved MPFS.

[Crunchy Frog]

31. Me too. I've got a Monty Python themed username.

I haven't seen alot of his independent movies, but I really love Time Bandits.

He was also responsible for the visual effects in Holy Grail and Life of Brian.

I choose to remain blissfully ignorant about whatever abhorrent opinions he may hold.

[Kurt V.]

27. i don't do fandom or cult of personality or hero worship.

we say ppl are flawed. . . as compared to what?
