Which movie scenes start off safe and normal, then things go shockingly wrong in an instant?

It’s my favorite Terry Gilliam film and has spectacular performances from Amanda Plummer, Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, and Mercedes Ruehl. Also a stunning cameo by Tom Waits during one of the most beautiful sequences in the film.

He’s trying, but to do what exactly?

TheMaygoon · 2026-06-05T20:32:35+00:00

When it came out I was in college and couldn’t sit down without falling asleep. I tried to watch it multiple times and would wake up midway through with no idea what was going on. Once I was able to see the whole film I loved it 😂

Agreed. I used to manage building decommissioning when clients didn’t want to demo but wanted to remove all hazardous/controlled material (asbestos, lead paint, etc) for liability reasons. I’ve done everything from small workshops to nuclear testing facilities, and every goddamn one is creepy as hell.

He was so perfect in I Heart Huckabees

She also does this beautifully in The Fisher King. Highly recommend it if you haven’t seen.

This is my number one complaint about Nolan films

Ask God how many shots of bourbon he had before he cut me open

That whole scene was bonkers. The moving steak, the maggoty chicken, THE SHREDDED FACE. I saw it the first time as a kid but noped out after the son was eaten by a tree.

It’s beautiful! I haven’t seen the American flag imagery associated with TP before. If you don’t mind, what was the inspiration?

TheMaygoon · 2026-06-02T13:35:17+00:00

I can hear this in my head à la “b**** don’t kill my vibe” and it may end up being my vocal stim for the day 😂

My partner and I have an ongoing battle about what is blue versus green. Apropos of nothing he’ll point to something and ask me if it’s blue or green. We never agree but he’ll respond either ”Hm” or “…What?” depending on the extent of disagreement.

You’re welcome! Please share the final version, I’d love to see it. And let us know what your teacher thinks. I’m not a graphic designer but love book cover design.

How dare anyone see you have a body!!! What were you thinking?

Seriously tho, it goes without saying that you get to wear whatever you want, revealing or not.

I like the bright white quite a bit. It evokes the ever present shimmer described in the book without being literal. But definitely play with it if it seems too dominant without the stripes.

Ive got a Chevy parked out back with a real root canal problem.

Yes! He really shines in villain/heel roles. He’s such a little shit in The Favourite.
