I suspect that one of the possible ways of classifying the world's population is "Those who like Terry Gilliam's movies" and "Those who don't". I don't think there's any middle ground. I fall into the former group, so take the following with a grain of salt. "Tideland" is one heck of a good movie. Yes, a tad slow in parts, but, overall, one heck of a great movie. Which explains why it came and went from the theatres in the blink of an eye. Well, that and the various necrophiliac, pedophiliac, strange-o-philiac portions. Mr. Gilliam has, to put it mildly, a strange and interesting mind. But, I can't wait for his next movie.
