I watched The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus this morning on cable.
I had just woke, this is one strange movie.

Netflix has it also.

I need to watch it again, it is saved on the dvr.

Someone was really tripping when this movie was written.

6. I really liked it.

They did a great job explaining why Heath Ledger wasn't always Heath Ledger. But mostly I loved the visual, sensual nature of it. I love Terry Gilliam's artistic vision. Wish that Don Quixote thing had worked out.

7. I watched on Netflix streaming and then ordered the DVD
Darned thing wouldn't play for me. Sent it back twice and then gave up. I really would like to see the DVD.

8. Any Terry Gilliam movie is usually "interesting" ...
I thought they handled the death of Heath Ledger rather smartly, while adding an interesting plot point to the story.
