Monty Python re-union and film..!
Discussion
Big fan of the old Python, esp the books...(Full page colour advert - Masturbation; some find it hard to say, others find it hard to do...)
Not at all sure the modern outing will do it justice, but sincerely wish them luck. Suspect Eric Idle has sufficient funds to pay off any debts the others may have, with loads left over, but if they want to go out for one last fling then why not?

Hopefully it will be released on DVD too...how can it not be . I watched "live at the Hollywood bowl" not so long ago and thought that reunion was brilliant especially the Yorkshire men sketch. So sad Graham wont be around and wondering what Terry Gilliam's role will be as he was mainly the animation genius. by the way if you can get a copy there was a book done by Terry years and years ago called "Animations of mortality" and was pretty much a step by step how to guide to how he did the animations, a great read if you can find it.even post python i love a fish called wanda and fierce creatures i never seem to get bored of them all. did anyone see the recent film about the life of brian release ? some cracking casting in that.

He was always the extra man in the Spanish Inquisition sketches, Gumby, Church Police, Whizzo chocs Crunchy frog puker, Barber shop quartet singers and others.They had Carol there but I wonder if Neil Innes might be involved as well.
My hovercraft is full of eels.

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.
Agree with you,never found them funny,forced myself to watch Life of Brian when I was 20....30 years ago....bored me to tears,and as for Cleese,probably the most over-rated human being ever !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.

I saw what I presume is this press conference and wondered what the hell was going on with the back ground projection screen as it looked awful!

Like satire (or TVR's) I think you either "get it" or you don't.Plenty got it, but it was extremely 'down with the kids' to like and quote it at every opportunity.
It was funny, at times, but also self indulgent tripe at others. Rather like Pink Floyd.
