Onion interview with Terry Gilliam (saw this thanks to Sore Eyes)

If you make films of a certain size and scale, you’re not going to be able to get away from Hollywood. That’s unfortunately, to me, the most depressing aspect of Man Who Killed Don Quixote falling apart, because we’d managed to raise $32 million without a penny from Hollywood, without even a distribution deal, nothing. It was me trying to show that we could make it. By European standards, that’s a really big budget; by Hollywood standards, it’s below the norm. But it was enough money in Europe to make a spectacular film, and I was determined to show that Hollywood doesn’t have to be everywhere all the time. But I’m afraid that with the failure, the inability to make the film, we lost that. At the moment, the way financing is in Europe, Hollywood is absolutely necessary.”-- T. Gilliam

Right now, I really want to see Lost In La Mancha

I found my pair of scissors. They were in the fanzine box under my desk the whole time. I’ve been going bonkers about them since just after Christmas. And to think I found them just because of a throwaway comment on the Sverifandom-list.
