Slashdot Mirror


Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Dolemite_the_Wiz writes "The BBC reports that Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' will be re-released, with the remaining Python troupe's full support, in US theaters next month. The Film's Distributor, Rainbow Film Company are marketing the film as an alternative to all the hype that Mel Gibson's film 'The Passion of the Christ' has generated. Trailers for the Film will begin running in theaters on Good Friday. Wait until Biggus Dickus hears about this!"

  2. Yeah, but what's hot in the UK now? by Lattitude · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I'd like to ask some of the U.K. /.'ers what's hot (in comedy) now over there? After all, it's only a matter of time before we get the lousy knockoff, or better, the actual show.

    I know "The Office" is big, and we have been getting of few of those shown here in Canada, but is there anything else on the way?

    Is it easier to speak dangerous words when your face isn't on the screen?

    It's much more difficult to be angry with what an animated character says than a human.

    I really hope you do get to see it on the big screen, all movies are better on it. However, I hope (and I doubt, unless MPAA has a hand in it) they will keep the movie uncut and its "R" rating. The gratuitous nudity scenes add to the humor.

    Although, I'm sure if Steven or George got a hold of the re-release, the lions would be replaced with kitties, whips with walkie-talkies and other such atrocities.

    When modding "Informative", please make sure it both has a source and IS actually informative.
