The Making of Quixote

[MercuryZap]

Hi

I was going to try and rationalise my complicated thoughts about all this into some articulate essay but ultimately I just keep coming back to my (hardly unique) realisation that the human race seems totally incapable of dealing with the responsibilities & implications thrown up by the internet.

I haven’t read the recent interviews for fear of upsetting & annoying myself but it seems to me that Terry Gilliam is being true to a pugnacious aspect of himself and that is a stance entirely consistent with how he has (not) played the media “game” throughout his turbulent career.

These are heightened & ridiculous times.

Society and the “game” have changed.

Maybe Terry is blissfully free of the paranoid self censorship and double think seemingly demanded of those in public spheres.

Maybe after the ordeal of Quixote he’s just beyond caring.

I have no real answers...

There are no easy answers. In embracing them we just seem to scupper ourselves collectively.

I am however buying my tickets today for the U.K./Ireland theatrical run of TMWKDQ at my local cinema.
