Another religious epic coming to theaters...

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

I'd much rather watch this one!!

 

:d :d :d

 

I can just get the DVD or VHS of this movie if I want to watch it.

 

That's very true, Bradley. However, I very much enjoyed seeing Monty Python & The Holy Grail during its big-screen re-release - heck, I wasn't around to see it the first time it was in theaters, and I thought the big presentation added a lot of 'epic' feeling to the movie. Of course, with ticket prices now approaching 1/2 or more of the cost of a DVD...

 

with the right crowd "Life Of Brian" would be fun to see once again.

I did see it at a theater when it came out years ago.

btw: I bought the DVD of "The Bible" the other day. This was a big movie in its day 1966 but not much has been made out of its debut on DVD. I remember seeing it at 8 years old one summer while I was visiting Ireland.

 

Actually, you'd be surprised how much more entertaining even the most familiar movie can be when you watch it on a big screen, in a theater with an audience. This is especially true of comedies; stuff that's only mildly amusing when you see it alone can become downright hilarious in a roomful of people laughing out loud.

 

I never got "Life of Brian". Well, I *did* get it, and the premise was very, very good... and the execution might have been even better.

But I just couldn't like it as much as "Holy Grail".

 

I just don't like being with huge crowds very often.

 

I'm looking forward to Jerry Bruckheimer's THE PASSION PART II: THE VENGEANCE.

"He's back, he's pissed, and he's [wham!] not [crack!] turning [bam!] the [boom!] other [KABOOM!] cheek!"

 

That actually happened the exact same way in "Ghandi II", on Weird Al Yankovic's "UHF".

 

Boy, I feel ya on that one, Brad.

 

I had to wade through piles of protesters to see the film in '79. One protester told me I was going to hell if I saw the film. I stoped and asked the zombie if he was going to heaven. He claimed that he was. I told him I'd rather go to hell just to get away from you.

 

Jeez, thanks Rachael...I just spit pop all over the monitor!!

 

Zombie? Hey! Dawn of the Dead has it's own thread,no thread-jacking here!

Guyz, I went through the same stuff with the zombies at THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRISTO. Hey, I'm living in the buckle of the bible belt. One fine day I was playing pinball downtown and a zombie walked up behind me and said, "you're playing with the devil". My reply was, "and loving it!" Then using the vocabulary I'd gained at Monty Python films, I quickly added, "now piss off." He did.... Sorry about the spilled drink Rudy!

 

The funny thing is, the movie isn't even Christ-related! I wonder how many religious people who hated the movie knew that...

 

I'm a religious person, Christian in fact. I saw the movie. I didn't hate it.

I didn't think it was as good as Grail, mostly because the sophomoric stuff was lazier, but the Pontius Pilate sequence was worth the trip.

 

Do we have a Wahderick???... How about a Wahger???

 

The thing I like about LOB is that all the factions and splitters portrayed reflect the reality of Judea in those days. It had more rebellions than proably all the other provinces of the Roman Empire combined...? The people literally were sitting around wishing for a heavily armed messiah day after day.

"...I'm Brian and so is my wife..."

 

Do you find that wisible?

 

"This time I want to hear no Weubens...no Weginalds...no Wudolph the Wed-Nosed Weindeers..."

"No Thpenther Trathyth..."
