Great piece, Chris! Thanks for this. I'm a Terry Gilliam fan, and a fan too of Tom Stoppard. I used to teach The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I very much admire that film. So much there that relates to our situation as well. It's also known in the film world as a textbook bomb since it did poorly at the box office but cost a fortune to make. Often seems like anything worth doing in a real sense has no value in our present society, and that's a clear sign that our culture has gone tits up... which is another fun euphemism for "completed". . . uh, I mean, "dead."
