and there's also aliens.

but I don't remember it to be gory. Just really, really funny!

Oh, dammit! Now I said it!

of life

everybody whistle!!!

but she is gonzo at the first sight of blood, comedic or not.

is not at all gory. It might be disturbing to Christians that are easily offended about their faith, though.

Somebody picking bits of a used gladiator from the arena floor and stealing rings.

Not particularly gory, though. Not like Spartacus, the TV series.

any character with a lisp will be taken seriously in a movie or TV show - just because of Biggus Dickus and that entire scene.

(I think it's part of the reason we didn't get "Kingthlayer .. You are my captifth" in Game of Thrones on HBO, despite the lisping Vargo Hoat being a colorful & memorable character.)

Don't mix up the Judean People's Front and the People's Front of Judea! Fuck off, you splitter if you do!

then she shouldn't watch it.

There are so many classic one liners in this flic! I mean everyone loved the Holy Grail, but it fails in comparison to wit in the Life of Brian.

but it does have a rather nice lesson in Latin grammar:

when it first came out.

I thought they were going to all die laughing right next to me.

I suspected that they did but, having never studied Latin, I would have no idea.

and although I don't know about their education before the university level, I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them attended a boarding school, in which case, Latin and Greek would have been core subjects in their era (the 1950s).

Terry Jones, in particular, was trained in history, and his post-Python life has included some very interesting documentaries about the ancient world (available on Netflix), so he's the most likely contributor of the Latin material. But in that era, anybody who was university bound would have studied Latin.

Money well spent.

Very tame, and you'll be in tears laughing. The JPF and the PFJ are still fighting in the polls.......

There is a brief cameo appearance by a bush, but not a prominent one.

My favorite line.

She was around 40 at the time and didn't want her mother to know.

She thought it was hilarious.

It's laugh out loud funny and any blood and gore is so over the top how can it be taken seriously?

They gave us the 2nd half of the day off and it was the most appropriate thing I could think of to do.

And the fundys going apeshit over it, even though they had no idea what was actually *IN* the movie.

"It pokes fun at Jesus!"

Actually Jesus appears only once, and he's played straight, giving one of his own speeches.

But Israel was under foreign occupation, would-be "messiahs" were falling out of the woodwork, the religious leaders were obsessed with trivia about their faith and being ritually "clean" or "unclean," and secular leaders were kissing up to the occupiers.
Not to mention the wannabe militant "liberation" groups popping up here and there...
