You don't vote for a messiah!

well, how do you *become* messiah, then? actually, i'm voting for meaning of life. because it never gets any attention or respect. and while it is overblown and a lot of it falls flat, it's still got some of the funniest scenes i've ever seen. it's worth it for "every sperm is scared" alone.
goovie is married! Back · 22 years ago
erm...that would be "sacred." not "scared." yeah. i can type. realli.

yeah, ok, so this movie was just a compilation of flying circus sketches, but still... and what about Live at the Hollywood Bowl? or is that also considered to be a cousin of Flying Circus?

either way, their movies, while they are very good, just don't live up to the standard they set with their TV shows. maybe I just have a short attention span...

I totally agree with you, I think Python works best in sketch format, sometimes dragging the joke out over the length of a film rather than the length of a sketch just kills the joke for me. Or maybe we both have really short attention spans.

Exactly! Every movie they made tended to draaaag. It's much better in sketch format.

Ooh! Ooh! How To Irritate People!
goovie is married! Back · 22 years ago
how to irritate people doesn't count...it's not actually python. it's also not as funny as it should be. even with all the pythons who are in it.
It's a girl! Back · 21 years, 11 months ago
Yeah, "How to Irritate People" was a disappointment. I wanted to laugh, I really did, but it just wasn't funny.

I have never seen Monty Python. I still haven't figured out if he's a singer, actor, or playwright. The little knowledge I have of him is from people spouting inane references. Me=not a Python fan. now I know people will *really* egg my tent at FRFF :-)

Stace - Monty Python is a comedy troupe, from England. Came out in the 70's. You really need to see Holy Grail. Rent it. Trust me....

what about the sketches? what about the lumberjack song? huh? huh?
Josh Woodward Back · 22 years ago
that's part of Flying Circus :-)

mmmmmmmmm, flying circus.

Ooh! This was a toughie. I LOVE Holy Grail, but I think overall Life of Brian is a better movie. But then again....Michael Palin as Galahad is *too* cute.....argh....nope, still gotta go with Life of Brian. The Holy Grail computer game is fun though - although I can't get past the killer rabbit *g*
elfy, teacher of many · 22 years ago
um, friendly neighbourhood typo alert. :) OR is 'meaning of LIVE' a trick answer, hoping to confuse people into thinking it's some obscure reference?
It's a girl! · 22 years ago
I'm glad Live At The Hollywood Bowl wasn't listed
as a choice, because I'd be really torn. It's all
good, really, but I prefer the shorter sketch format.
Of the feature films, though, I think Life Of Brian is
the best one.

Life at hollywood bowl is the best! "Your american beer is like making love in a canoe.... fucking close to water!" but, given the options, the tv show

The other stuff though it is kind of great are
just movies. But Meaning Of Life is essential...
there is too much truth in it.
