…”There’s the television - it’s all right there, ALL RIGHT THERE - Look, listen, kneel, pray! The commercialism! We’re not productive anymore — nobody needs to make things anymore, it’s all automated. What are we for THEN? We’re consumers… yeah. OK OK ‘buy a lot of stuff, you’re a good citizen’… but if you don’t buy a lot of stuff, if you don’t what are you then i ask you, what? Mentally Ill!”…
Watched 12 Monkeys this morning for the first time in many years while fighting off a nasty cold. Probably Gilliam’s most depressing movie but has that special magic that i just cannot deny. Hadn’t thought of it when i first saw Fight Club, but Jeffery [played by Pitt in 12 Monkeys] and Tyler are of the same basic foundation.
