You're right about the directors, thanks. I was looking all over for the director of the film and when I couldn't find it, I just assumed it was Gilliam. I easily found it just now, so I suppose I overlooked it the first time.
I actually didn't know about Fulton and Pepe being directors of Hamster Factor (for one, I don't have a DVD player and two, despite being a huge Gilliam fan, I don't like Twelve Monkeys and, believe me, I've tried to).
I read on the Terry Gilliam fanzine that some German insurance company owns the script to The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. On one hand, Gilliam said he wants to get the script back and finally make the movie, but he also likes the idea of just letting the idea go with Lost in La Mancha because he thinks it might be more powerful to let the fragments give a glimpse of what could have been.
I take it the Cassavetes films are hard to find? (I haven't looked into finding them yet).
My bad, the word is actually "wack." According to the Ultimate Rap Dictionary on the Internet, wack means: weird, crazy, bad, as in (I quote) Fuck's wrong with you, wack nigga?!.
Vanilla Sky: weird, crazy, but not entirely bad, although I wish Aames actually did kill someone and his confusion and the mystery played out with a real psychiatrist to a conclusion or that he just died in the car accident, not later. Finding out that the majority of the movie was due to Aames' Life Extension Lucid Dream Package caught in snags with his subconscious seemed thrown in there. I also couldn't help but think that I was watching an inferior made David Lynch movie.
Linda Hunt in what character, the male Indonesian dwarf or other? Actually, does it matter? You're right...I'd rather some drunk say I look like the woman who sexed up Ralph Macchio (especially since the inebriated are said to see others as being more attractive than they are) than to have someone say, "Hey, did you know you look just like that man-child who got Mel Gibson through Indonesia?"
As shallow as it sounds, the main reason I picked up Lovely and Amazing was to see Jake Gyllenhall, who oddly plays a character similar to that in The Good Girl (although he's the best in Donnie Darko). Not to play the devil's advocate to AAA--I remember our discussion of The Man Who Wasn't There, Jim ;)--I didn't like Lovely and Amazing, mainly because of the dialogue. I found Keener's character's dialogue, where out of nowhere, twice, she ponders the wonders of childbirth, and where her recount of the bad relationship with her father to Gyllenhaal's 17-year-old character in his bedroom is less emotionally bonding than unaccounted for and trite, to be unrealistic. I found the neurotic trio of daughters (with the exception of the wonderful performance of the "adopted sister," by 12-year-old African-American Raven Goodwin who, ironically, is not even listed as part of the cast on the Lovely and Amazing official web page) to be maudlin and annoying and, unless I missed it, I don't think the movie had anything to say. Man, you're really going to have to catch me on a movie that I have nothing but praise for!
Besides the bad Jennifer Anniston-esque shag hairdo an overzealous Friends fan and Supercuts hairdresser shamed on me in 1995, the rumors are false that I look anything like Anniston. (Supercuts and I are still in litigation).
Is this my professor from college? Who are you? Who sent you?
Okay, frankly, I didn't finish my book. I was taking a break for the holidays. Do you think they're considered officially over now?

I've been told that I have a "unique" personality, but when it comes to what I look like, I'm just a conglomerate of everyone's favorite characters.

Not you, but the guy who said this to me (actually, the wanna-be thug younger brother of the guy I dig).
A friend of mine used to say I looked like Bruce McCullough from The Kids In the Hall. (By the way, not McCullough in drag).

Well, P, you haven't seen me since the accident. And, since this list only covers the face, the wooden leg shouldn't be an issue.
Dang HTML! For a link on the "gry" question that works try this.
Here is some interesting information on the ubiquitous "gry" question called the biggest "linguistic hoax" in history.

Actually, I liked Punch-Drunk Love a lot better than Magnolia. Magnolia is so, I don't know...forced? Why didn't you like it?

Of course, you have to dust first because all the dust falls on the floor. I learned this the hard way.
