Eric Idle says Monty Python income ruined by Gilliams

Well this is an obvious time to post this (below) but some may say "Oh how could you pacinoyes?!?!"......but I say Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke ...............and that's why the moderators pay me, isn't it?

Since paying me in cash would be wrong ....and um, possibly "illegal" (?) let's just say - the mods "pay" me in their mad respect for:

1. My music recs......... for one of them

2. As a case study about Possibly Dangerous Sociopathic Personalities............. for one of them's work

3. For my horror recommendations............. for one of them.........maybe, I dunno I can't figure him out tbh - I don't even get Jamie Erdahl being hotter than Kay Adams tbh .........but that's not like saying fncking stupid shit like "an AFI Award makes  Kidman a better actress than Wnslet" ................ so t's all good

4. For my left-field sense of humor ..............for all of them really .......those dudes all know what's up .......

Also when I die - which is literally 106 years overdue - we've agreed that I'll donate my brain to the board so everyone can see where it all went wrong

I have to say... I really don't care for Terry Gilliam. Of his films that I've seen, I didn't like them, and the way he talked about Michelle Williams after Heath Ledger's death was downright cruel. 

Could it be a bit? Has Cleese commented?

Also I don't put too much in MAR polls or World of Reel.......I live in the real world too and in that world that it is 7 Oscar nods to 5 and 1 more Emmy win - it is what it is - anyway could this be a bit?

Let's stay on topic........Gilliam is pretty active on social media iirc - he might comment soon? If this is real I doubt he'd just let it slide

And Kidman has 16 Golden Globe nominations and 5 wins to Winslet's 12 nominations and 5 wins.

So Winslet got the same results in 4 less nods .........and is several years younger - good to know!!!

Anyhoo - back on topic - Eric sounds kind of off the rails - but he may have the right to be .......:

* Asked by an X user if he is still close to Cleese, Idle responded: “I haven’t seen Cleese for seven years.” A fan replied saying that this made them sad, to which Idle said: “Why. It makes me happy.”

Actually, I was wrong. Kidman has 17 Golden Globe nominations and 6 wins.

Nothing good happening on this story at all:

Los Angeles, Feb 13 (IANS): Actor Eric Idle has described his ‘Monty Python’ co-star John Cleese as a bully, and added the pair have not spoken for seven years.

Eric, 80, claims fellow ‘Monty Python’ actor Terry Jones was picked on in particular, reports ‘Mirror.co.uk’.

“(John) bullied Jonesy. I always felt ashamed we did nothing. I still love and am proud of what we did as ‘Monty Python’. It was a very unique group. I think of us as an ex-Liverpool team. We played together well, way back in the day. But it was never very supportive of people’s feelings and emotions. Not brothers

That's all well and good that Cleese, Palin and Gilliam ( who would obviously agree as it's his own daughter) find Holly Gilliam efficient, agreeable etc etc. 

But it's ultimately about the finances, not how much they like her. If as Idle suggests, the Monty Python royalties and profits have tailed off massively, to the point where it's not enough for him to stay retired on, then maybe he has a point. The others may not care as much as Idle about how much money comes in from Monty Python, because they likely have more sources of passive income than Idle.

Palin and Cleese are probably still making income off A Fish Called Wanda. Palin has a hugely successful and lucrative second career as presenter of TV travel show documentaries and as a travel writer. Cleese has been in many successful movies outside the Monty Python films, starred in sitcoms like Fawlty Towers, which is hugely popular and iconic in the UK. He still gets paid to do television commercials. I imagine he's still stinking rich, without needing a penny from Monty Python.

Terry Gilliam is also undoubtedly wealthy from his career as a major film director.

Idle had some success outside Monty Python, but not as much as the others. In terms of passive income, he probably needs the Monty Python royalties and income generation to be more substantial than the richer members of the group. I can't hate on that. He has every right to look at the books and say, "this isn't good enough. Monty Python is an iconic brand known worldwide. Why aren't we making more money off the brand".

Cleese making a joke - again in that dry af, like dust British way ^.......which is what I do also..........and you can too..........if anyone else would like to post that Virgin vs. Chad thing I mean...........pup the virgin really hates that one it seems
