Terry Gilliam 

One of the greatest, most twisted directors of all time, who has to date made criminally few films and is plagued by terrible luck. Best known for his Monty Python animations, "Brazil", and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", but actually the rest of his films are equally brilliant.
I never thought that Terry Gilliam could get even more unlucky after what happened in "Lost in La Mancha", but I'm reconsidering after Heath Ledger's death.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
