Can anyone explain the scene when he mentions "The World Bank" ? I'm an economist and I've read the book thoroughly ...I'm quite sure I would've picked up on ANY mention of the subject let alone an actual mention of it. After all if this is " the only Universal release to be made without a screenplay" { Terry Gilliam } then what is that about...a rock band or something completely outrageous? Anything to do with The American Dream??? Is this an "in Debt Interview" ???by The World Bank ?
Speaking of Ether! I went to Brazil in the mid 80's for my first Carnaval experience. I was in a small town with 1000's everywhere dancing, singing and celebrating in the streets. Ether was a cheap high of choice and some would saturate their shirt tail with it and sniff. Many offered me their shirt tails to snort! It was so bizarre and funny. Depp's dialog perfectly desrcibes the experience LOL!
This News that Terry never did Acid really surprised me because in seeing this film I thought he captured the visuals & the sensibility of an LSD experience better than anything I've ever seen. Giving a film the sense of how it looks & feels to Trip is almost impossible & he did it. Now I find him even more brilliant. For me the Experience was ALWAYS euphoric but there would be those intensely disconforting & strange moments if you were thrust into a world like Vegas where strange is everywhere
Gilliam spent most of his childhood listening to the radio, so he developed his visual sense and imagination without the constraints of tv. That's my guess as to how he manages to create these strange visual experiences.
Thumbs up if you know this guy from Monty Python.

Great interview - whats the name of the music you play at the beginning and end?

The intro is a loop from Miami by U2 off of their Pop album. The outro is a loop from Pink Floyds' Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
