Monty Python re-union and film..!
Discussion
The films stand up very well indeed.
One of my favourites from the TV, is the Navy expedition to some ones terraced house - with a song for the Navy.
"There is no cannabalism in the Navy...."
Anyway, still some good moments along with some teeth grindingly awful bits.
However, I really don't believe they should get together again, Palin doesn't need the money. Cleese just comes across as incredibly bitter, Eric Idle - well I am really not sure he still has it ?
Gilliam remains a real creative force, but he has no speaking parts anyway !
I just don't think they should mess with the legacy, plus is re hashing the Parrot sketch really going to be funny these days ?

Python is still hilarious.
Was watching a documentary on them recently and there was a concern raised in it that I agreed with, and which worries me about this announcement.
And that is 'Political Correctness'.....the disease that seems to be infecting every corner of this country at the moment. I'm not sure that Python can be made today, because too much of the Python style and content would be deemed 'offensive'.
My fear is that is order to meet the requirements of PC, any new Python would lose a lot of the edge that made it great in the first place.

This is really starting to bore me & I am so fed up with this story. All day yesterday on every news I saw & every news on the radio & today seems to be the same.
Is it only me who doesn't really give a s
t but would prefer it if they didn't?
I never found the gits remotely funny the first time around but the strange thing was that I knew other people who were also as unimpressed as I was.
Then Python's humour became somehow fashionable & if you had the audacity to actually say you didn't find them amusing you were immediately ostracised & berated by hordes of studenty types into believing there was something wrong with your ability to laugh, those people who originally didn't think they were funny suddenly found they had discovered a different side to their humour.. I think some people are sheep.

I've a gouse and harden in the country
An ace I call my plown
A treat I can replace to
When I beed to knee alone
Caterfly and butterpillar
Perch on beefy lough
And I listen to the dats and cogs
As they mark and they biaow
Yes wature here is nunderful
There is no ween for nords
While silling on my windowflutter
Biny little tirds.

Like satire (or TVR's) I think you either "get it" or you don't.Someone either finds them funny or doesn't & I'm very happy for the ones that do but FFS, does their getting together again really warrant two days constant news/media coverage.

Does anything? Same sort of hype when The Rolling Stones and The Who reform for a tour/album and personally, I think they're both crap.That's the whole publicity machine though, isn't it? Every celeb on any chat show is pushing product to make money.

Yes, what you say is very true. I suppose I've just noticed this story more for some reason or another. That's the whole publicity machine though, isn't it? Every celeb on any chat show is pushing product to make money.
