Interview with Terry Gilliam
In Conversation - Terry Gilliam from Green Rock on Vimeo.
Hollywood outsider Terry Gilliam. I loved Brazil (The truth will set you free)) because it reminds me of America, with torture whistle blower, John Kiriakou, being sentenced today for 30 months in prison, and sundance film festival's most buzzed about movie, Fruitvale: Ryan Coogler’s Debut Film on Bay Area Police Slaying of Oscar Grant the Buzz of Sundance, I just can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow.
Doot doot doot, dootdoot do do doot doot.

Aaron Swartz Dead at 26
"Here is where we need a better sense of justice, and shame. For the outrageousness in this story is not just Aaron. It is also the absurdity of the prosecutor's behavior. From the beginning, the government worked as hard as it could to characterize what Aaron did in the most extreme and absurd way. The 'property' Aaron had 'stolen', we were told, was worth 'millions of dollars' — with the hint, and then the suggestion, that his aim must have been to profit from his crime. But anyone who says that there is money to be made in a stash of ACADEMIC ARTICLES is either an idiot or a liar. It was clear what this was not, yet our government continued to push as if it had caught the 9/11 terrorists red-handed. "A kid genius. A soul, a conscience, the source of a question I have asked myself a million times: What would Aaron think? That person is gone today, driven to the edge by what a decent society would only call bullying. I get wrong. But I also get proportionality. And if you don't get both, you don't deserve to have the power of the United States government behind you. "For remember, we live in a world where the architects of the financial crisis regularly dine at the White House — and where even those brought to 'justice' never even have to admit any wrongdoing, let alone be labeled 'felons'." - http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/40347463044/prosecutor-as-bully
