Some believe that dragons may have been creatures to watch out for as far back as 75,000 years ago in South Africa. Whenever they began, their popularity has not waned. So when we began to make motion pictures, dragons were the perfect foils. We look at dragons from Puff to Maleficent to King Ghidorah. Are they rideable? What are some defining characteristics? Are they good or bad. Hop on for luck as Enjoy Stuff gets dragony!   Who’s your favorite dragon? Where do they fall on our scale?

    Revisit the work of Terry Gilliam, the visionary director (aka Mad Genius) whose movies explore imagination and society.

But as his career progressed, Gilliam took his imaginative talents to the director’s chair. His visually stunning and sometimes uncomfortable films thrust you into dream-like worlds and explored important characteristics of society. From the time-hopping child view of Time Bandits, to the award winning exploration of class structure in Brazil, Gilliam takes you on a brain trip with each of his tales. If it weren’t for his terrible luck during productions, we may have even more to explore. This is Terry Gilliam.   Check out Jay’s Sci-Fi Saturdays articles on RetroZap.com Sci-Fi Saturdays - Brazil Sci-Fi Saturdays - 12 Monkeys   Are you a fan of Terry Gilliam’s work?
