Monty Python re-union and film..!
Discussion
Woohoo! - clicky
I don't care how old they are, I don't care how dated and irrelevent the humour will be, I don't care that they might now come across as unfunny, cliched and past it...I guess I do care a bit that Graham Chapman won't be part of it...
...but I do care about how delighted and excited I am and I can't wait!
Cue all your favourite Python lines now please...

Not sure what to think about this.
Monty Python was very much a product of its day, just like most comedy.
I seem to recall it being hilarious when I was a kid and if I watch it now, I tend to sit there and think "Hmmm, yes, that was clever" but not really laugh any more.
Not sure I ever did laugh at things like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug8nHaelWtc
We'll all want more Dead Parrot, Spanish Inquisition, Nudge Nudge or Ministry of Silly Walks but I think I will end up disappointed.

The tv shows have dated badly but Life of Brian remains a breathtakingly clever, wonderfully funny work of satirical comedy genius.
My guess is that they are getting back together for the same reason old bands do. Money, of course. Apparently the third ex Mrs Cleese took her former husband to the cleaners in the American divorce courts. Perhaps that has something to do with it?

Its not a guess that they're doing it for money. They've already stated that. And didn't Cleese call one of his tours the alimony tour?My guess is that they are getting back together for the same reason old bands do. Money, of course.

Hope its an extensive tour and that it doesn't suffer the fate of the H2G2 tour (ie. cancelled before it gets to the tour dates I'd booked). Although the hype surrounding this, I expect that any tickets that do go on sale will disappear in no time.

Extra-or.....dinary.
"Hand over your lupins"
If you listen to a lot of the MP stuff, a large part of it is actually not that funny but when they hit the target, it was brilliant.
One of my favourite MP albums is Matching Tie and Handkerchief which has the possibly uniqure feature of having 3 sides on the LP - Side 2 had a double groove so had two separate tracks.

Do you pronounce it Throat Wobbler Mangrove?As a massive Python fan I'm hugely conflicted by this. Part of me wants this to be brilliant, the other part thinks this will be a bunch of sad old men making fools of themselves for a pot of money. I will need more information as to what it actually is but I might shell out for a ticket. Anyway...
"What about pointed sticks?"
"Can I have her spam instead?"
"You're off your chump,"
"Then he chains me to the tank and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdales place,"
"I have finished cutting, cutting, cutting, CUTTING, your hair,"
"Ohhhh!..... intercourse the penguin!"
"..Grunties.."
"Buttocks went the wrong way. Every time he sat on the toilet, he fell in,"
"Cardboard box?"
"Kevin Phillips Bong....... Slightly Silly Party,"
"She's a good Shelia, Bruce and not at all stuck up,"
"The Architects Sketch! The Architects Sketch! The Architects Sketch! THE ARCHITECTS SKETCH!,"
"Oh I know, Ethel The Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying,"
"Gavin, does it ever worry you that you're actually going to be chewed up by a bloody great crocodile?"
"I can eat enormous quantities of ice cream without being sick,"
"If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need talcum powder,"
"Must be a board meeting,"
"The last 15 feet are heavily sound proofed,"
"Itsssss...."
"Per pound you slimey trollop! What kind of ponce are you?"
"If you're going to split hairs I'm going to p
s off,""Lucky we didn't say anything about the dirty knife,"
"Would like to go upstairs?........ Or do you want to purchase a holiday?"
"My hovercraft is full of eels,"
"The general public are never going to understand this,"
"Bum! Oh what a giveaway!"
"Somebody said mattress to Mr Lambert! Twice!"
"Lemon Curry?"
Yes, I am on day off. Yes, I was the spotty bloke in the common room with all the records and books. It probably made me the man I am today, which possibly explains quite a lot...
