Seagoon's New to me Movie review.
Today was 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote". I can answer this. The men who killed this movie were all the guys/editors who were too gutless to tell Gilliam that the movie needed to be cut by one hour. The trope of the stupid director was stale, already done in Tropic Thunder and such an unusual plot device shouldn't be repeated. And wtf with the terrorists, too easy, too lame.
You know what would have been better, a Spanish Literature professor going mad , the tutor being Poncho, the prof imagining his students as the characters in the book. The dean etc etc ( this is my original work, no idea if it's been done before. I'm registering this today using registered mail )
A Walter Mitty day dreamer type story ( but not the modern movie which was awesome!! , but the old original short stories )
