French For Cartridge Genre: Rock / Experimental From: London, United Kingdom London's genre defying, style blending, art-pop geniuses (or should that be genii ?)

Here in America, we have solid theme park rides based on movies that, for the most part, make sense, like Universal Studios' "E.T. Adventure," or the "Wayne's World" roller coaster "Hurler" (since sold and de-"Wayne"'d by Paramount, but still). But in Rome, they're building a ride based on the Fellini film "City of Women." Yes, in an effort to shore...
Last week Joseph McCabe of FEARnet.com caught up with Terry Gilliam and the filmmaking Python told him that his long-in-development adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s dark fantasy novel Good Omens isn’t dead in the water yet.

By Jenny DCF It’s no secret that I love Terry Gilliam’s work: the wild fantasy, the sarcastic wit, the characters who run the gamut from caricatures to real, well developed, believable people caught up in dreamlike adventures.
