| I have seen it and Robin's character in it is amazing. It is very different for Robin. Gilliam has actually used him a couple times in movies. Robin was also the King of the Moon guy/head in Baron Munchausen.  It's also one of a couple times he's used Bridges as well. Jeff was also used in Tideland and the junkie Dad. __________________ "You can't expect to weild supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at ya" -Michael Palin's peasant of the collective. | |||

| The Robin Williams "breaking out" of the typecasting comedy roles actually began with 1987's "Good Morning, Vietnam". The only funny parts are the ones when Adrian Cronauer is on the air. The rest of the movie is devistatingly serious. 1989's "Dead Poets Society" was also a very serious Drama. 1990 brought about "Awakenings", another serious Drama about the memoirs of a doctor. "Fisher King" came out in 1991 and was the second movie that Gilliam had used him in. __________________ "You can't expect to weild supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at ya" -Michael Palin's peasant of the collective. | |||

| Thanks sanna or this over at MP thread! "Palin set to be a film star again... as an explorer 14/08/06 A decade after his last appearance on the big screen, Michael Palin is set to make a surprise comeback, we can reveal. Palin, 63, these days better known for his televised travels across the world, has been in talks with former Monty Python colleague Terry Gilliam about a new movie. Coincidently, given the amiable star's globetrotting career, he will play an explorer. "Mike and I keep talking about a project which is based on a book called Water Music by T Coraghessan Boyle, about Mungo Park, the famous 19th century Scottish explorer who discovered the Niger River," reveals Gilliam, 65. The director, who has just released his latest film Tideland, adds: "It's not as comic as a comedy, it's funny yet it's also very bleak and strange. It's basically an adventure story, how a guy is reduced to behaving as an animal to survive." It will be Palin's first major film role since appearing in John Cleese's Fierce Creatures back in 1997. Following his career in Python, he starred in such films as A Private Function and A Fish Called Wanda (memorably with a a pronounced stutter), as well as Alan Bleasdale's gritty television drama GBH. He also surprised fans with a brief cameo in Australian soap Home And Away nine years ago. However, since the late Eighties, he has preferred to focus on his career as a TV traveller and was reportedly the main obstacle to a planned Monty Python reunion - much to the annoyance of fellow Python Eric Idle, who was behind the idea. Gilliam, who as well as the legendary Python films has previously directed Palin in the popular flicks Brazil and Jabberwocky, admits that their next project cannot get up and running until his old friend has finished his latest travel series on Eastern Europe. "I keep telling Mike he's got to stop travelling, sit down and do some films again," he adds." For myself, on the topic of Michael Palin as an actor rather than just the HOT guy, Michael Palin has proved to have many uses for Gilliam. ]ack, in Brazil, was the character you would normally dispise. Didn't someone on here post a comment by John recently that if Michael was the worst person in the world you would still love him and it is hard to hate him? That is the always smiling, always aloof Jack. Evil Jack! With the baby head or without. A charming bastard all around! Although MP was not in Time Bandits too much, his short appearances with close friend Shelly Duvall were very funny in their every appearance as star-struck,virginesque lovers whos intimacy was always foiled, in every period of time, by the midgets. I particularly like the first appearance when they are tied to the tree, stripped and tortured! There is also, of course Jabberwocky. I think we have all seen that, Michaels beautiful bum  et all.Anyhoo, my 2 cents. __________________ "You can't expect to weild supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at ya" -Michael Palin's peasant of the collective. | |||

| That one pic you posted of the 6 of them I am particularly fond of. It is one of the last group photo sessions before Graham died. At the time of this photo Graham is being held up by a rack of some kind because at this point he was already confined to a wheel chair. Ya Ya, did you mention that you were thinking of starting a Graham thread? Someone mentioned it anyway. I could provide movie lists and photos of him and David together I love Graham, I dun care what anyone says __________________ "You can't expect to weild supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at ya" -Michael Palin's peasant of the collective. | |||

| Believe it or not I have had people tell me on another site we have in common that he is boring and a lame actor. Very sad as I absolutely do not concur! I have college photos of him too! __________________ "You can't expect to weild supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at ya" -Michael Palin's peasant of the collective. | |||

| Boring...WTF! I dont think anyone could ever call Graham boring. He was widely considered the best actor of all of them by all the Pythons. He was so adorable, I am a big fan of Graham. Actually I have been reading some of the things he has written and I think I may have found another kindred spirit. Its kinda funny finding 2 in the Python bunch, him and Jonesy. __________________ "I think my favourite comedy is like poetry in a way.

| Good lord, boring would be the last thing I'd call Graham Chapman. Aww, Grey! I should tell you ladies that it was actually Graham I fell for first. I have a thing about blond/blondish guys. Not to mention he had a GORGEOUS pair of eyes! __________________ "And I am not in the street, Ya Ferry!!!" | |||
