I'm obviously full of deep and stirring thoughts today...

A heads-up from [livejournal.com profile] chuckdarwin:

Coming back soon to a theater near you -- a controversial film about a Jewish guy from Nazareth who is worshiped as the Messiah and crucified by the Romans.

No, it's not Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." It's Monty Python's "Life of Brian."

Inspired by the runaway success -- and public furor -- over Gibson's portrayal of the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus, the creators behind the 1979 biblical satire about an anti-Roman activist who spends his life being mistaken for a prophet are planning a 25th anniversary re-release next month.

It could be like Rocky Horror. A group of us should dress up in robes and tunics and sandals for opening night.

I second that excellent idea!

I have to poke secret willow with that idea :)

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!
And then The Holy Grail! :-D! Or maybe that is wishful thinking....

magnificent film

I own it on dvd, and think it's one of the Python boys' best.

It is an extremely astute social commentary. There's really very little I would do differently if I wanted to comment on the lunacy that tends to accumulate around our interaction with the ineffable.
