And Now for Someone Completely Indifferent: Terry Gilliam on Directing Arcade Fire

From ArtsBeat Blog - NYTimes:

If you’re a big corporate sponsor, like, say, American Express, and you’re seeking a director to oversee Thursday night’s Web broadcast of a performance by Arcade Fire at Madison Square Garden (which will be streamed live on YouTube), you could presumably have your choice of talent, from up-and-coming music-video auteurs to established Hollywood hotshots.

So why turn to Terry Gilliam, the highly unpredictable Monty Python alum whose feature films include “Brazil” and “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus,” and who dislikes indie rock almost as much as he despises the Internet? Even Mr. Gilliam himself wasn’t sure, though he says he’s a huge Arcade Fire fan.

ArtsBeat spoke recently with Mr. Gilliam — apparently not too long after he’d been roused from bed — about this unusual project that we all hope turns out better for him than “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.” These are excerpts from that conversation."

I had no idea this was happening! Great, great, great. I haven't even listened to the new album yet. I'll be sure to check it out. I like how he says he dislikes most indie rock. So do I, I guess, but then, do I? I listen to entirely too much.
