I think it was Spike TV's awards show. There's an excerpt of it on the Fight Club Blu-ray; Gibson inducted Fight Club into the "Guy Movie Hall of Fame," and Brad Pitt said "Thanks, Sugartits."

"Jotunheims are responsible for all the wars in the world."

I like Gilliam, but let's be honest: Investing money in this film is only slightly less risky that sending it to Jeb! Bush 2016.

Should Mon Mothma's wife be chopping down evergreens in the Pacific Northwest?

Wait, there was a Juhani romance sub-plot in KotR? Where has this knowledge been all my life?

But it made more overseas than domestic and came out in the black. I've heard some industry guys who think that movies like this are the future because since they only have to do 3 days of work, you can get a ton of stars to be in them.
