TIDELAND - Terry Gilliam's latest on DVD 2/27 (1 Viewer)

Elijah Sullivan · Dec 1, 2006

ThinkFilm is releasing Terry Gilliam's Tideland on DVD Febuary the 27th after a nearly non-existant theatrical campaign. I'll be glad to finally see it... the road to getting this film released has been a very long and sad one for ol' Terry.

Totally off topic, but I don't feel like starting a new thread for these: Big (with Tom Hanks) and That Thing You Do! are both getting 2-disc "director's cut" releases on 3/27 according to my distributor. There's more double-dips coming than you can shake a stick at...

Thanks Elijah. I actually in a thread I started a week ago or so enquired about what was goig on with the "Big" special edition. That answers that.

I wouldn't exactly get excited to see it.

It has to be Gilliam's worst film, and that's saying something.

MatthewLouwrens · Dec 3, 2006

Personally, I'm excited about seeing it. Everything I've heard about the disparate audience reaction makes it sound fascinating.

im excited to see a release date finally for Tideland, i was a bit worried

TonyD · Dec 3, 2006

i have a screener of it.

i have mixed feelings on watching it.

PaulP · Dec 4, 2006

Hey it's Gilliam. Can't be bad. Plus it has a Vincenzo Natali short!

Coressel · Dec 5, 2006

I can't wait to see this... well, I've been waiting, so I guess I can.

Good or bad, I can't imagine it's worse than Brothers Grimm.

And again, as stated above, it's Gilliam! He's definately one of my favorite directors, so Tideland will be worth absorbing.

Radioman970 · Dec 5, 2006

One of my Top 5 fav directors. Seems like most of his films take multiple viewings before I grow to love them. I can't wait to see Tideland. I was wondering what the hell happened to it.

EDIT: Just read the interview from the link above. Reminds me why I love Gilliam so much. I'll be blind buying this when it comes out next year. I really really need a Gilliam commentary in r1.

Coressel · Dec 6, 2006

I didn't hate it, I just thought it wasn't as good as it could have been. But then again, I hated Jabberwocky at first, and now appreciate it much more.

Gilliam is absolutely in my top 5 list, too. Maybe even top 3.

Radioman970 · Dec 6, 2006

I was going to say that myself, no lie. Maybe Top 3. But I just thought at least Top 5.

MarkHarrison · Dec 6, 2006

I've loved almost every Gilliam film I've seen. But I couldn't stand Time Bandits. I thought it was dreadful. Still, it's Gilliam, so that alone means I'll eventually have to give it a second chance.

I'm looking forward to Tideland.

Radioman970 · Dec 7, 2006

Watch it again this instant!

MarkHarrison · Dec 7, 2006

Well, since I own it, I do plan to re-visit it at some point. Perhaps I'll get to it in a couple weeks when I have two weeks off for the holidays.

Radioman970 · Dec 8, 2006

Well, I've convinced myself, Time Bandits is a GREAT film. Worthy #10 on my Top 10 list.

MarkHarrison · Dec 8, 2006

Yep, I guess I am. :laugh:

Radioman970 · Dec 8, 2006

Don't be surprised if one day soon a half dozen "little people" arrive at your door ready to give you a forced screening of a certain movie!

CaseyL · Dec 8, 2006

As with many, I was dissapointed with Brothers Grimm. I think for me, It was TGs first movie that included large amounts of CG affects. TG was one of the few that still used almost exclusivley physical effects, which I love and respect. When a director starts getting into CG, sometimes it makes their films seem, I dunno...Lazy? Gilliam has the right creative mind for Grimm, but I don't think it translated well.

Anyway, this isn't a Grimm thread, so I guess that said, Grimm was my only Gilliam Dissapointment ever, and so I'll welcome Tideland.

TonyD · Dec 9, 2006

so i watched the first 15 minutes of tideland.

i had to take a break.
i'll try to finish it tonight.
dont now if i can watch the entire 1:45 left straight through.

Richard Splinte · Dec 9, 2006

It's a great movie, possibly one of his best. Right up there with Brazil. Jodelle Farland deserves a oscar for her role.
