Liam posted about HBO specials. Well, my memory was the iconic twirling CBS 'special' logo from their movie nights, and, of course, the ABC movie nights as well. Seeing that logo meant staying up late watching an "adult" movie like 'Star Wars' or 'Superman' on national TV for the first time.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was the last film project that Heath Ledger worked on. Still a work in progress. Director Terry Gilliam was forced to recast the roll mid-shoot, so three other actors, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell each make appearances to complete the project. Evidently the story was surreal enough to begin with that the change in appearance of the title character will be accepted by the audience. Any Terry Gilliam film promises to be entertaining or at least intriguing, but it will be fascinating to see this film.
