Meaning of Life DVD

[crash0814]

I'm so fucking psyched. 2-Disc Special Edition of the Monty Python classic. If I had any money I'd preorder.

[Paul138]

I already did, and the suspense is overwhelming... Okay so I suck at lying, but I can't wait!

[Spectre X]

there is a god.

[pjalne]

... and he's a Terry Gilliam animation.

To this day, I refuse to be an organ donor...

[Jixby Phillips]

I wouldn't call this movie a "classic" exactly. But I do want it on DVD.

It would be more than okay with me if their last movie was "Life of Brian"

[pjalne]

I'm with Jixby here, but the restaurant piece, the 'Find the fish' sequence and the part where Death points at the fish make it all worth it.

[crash0814]

Life of Brian was the most subtle of their films, so it's my least favorite. Not that it's bad.

[Jixby Phillips]

Life of Brian is the best thing they've ever done you fool.

That and the fairy tale sketch from their second German show.

[Krythor]

I agree that Life of Brian is the best of their movies. I can't for the life of me remember much of The Flying Circus, so I'm not in a position to say it's the best of their work.

I thought that The Holy Grail and The Meaning Of Life were slightly too all over the place. The Life Of Brian had a good solid plot, great satire and generally just the best jokes. :(

I will be getting this when I have the money to though, naturally.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Yeah, the Life of Brian is hands down the best work they did. It's way funnier than Meaning of Life, which had about 3 or 4 things going for it, and a little better than the Holy Grail.

[AChimp]

I'll be getting this when it comes out. :love

"Hello. Can we have your liver?"

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Why not get Life of Brian?

[pjalne]

If anyone is getting LoB, try to find the Criterion Collection release. It has some great deleted scenes, among them a couple of sequences with Otto the right-extremist Jew and his suicide squad.

Oh, and the part in Meaning of Life where the two people try to explain why they're dressed up as a tiger is one of the funniest things I've seen.

[Protoclown]

I am soooo getting this. On a related note, I FINALLY picked up my own copy of the Life of Brian criterion collection DVD. Yay. Now I need to get Holy Grail and this when it comes out.

And Life of Brian is EASILY the best thing they ever did, hands down. THAT is a "classic".

[Jixby Phillips]

They are releasing a new edition of Holy Grail, that is, from what I understand, exactly like the other special edition that is out except with different packaging.

I remember I bought Life of Brian while me and my family went to San Fransico to see Kids in the Hall. That was the last good family trip I had.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

The Holy Grail is out. The special edition is excellent, and like Jixby said, that new one is exactly the same but in a big dark box or some shit.

A new version of Life of Brian is coming out too, but it may not have the Criterion features. It does have a 5.1 soundtrack, but I'm glad I have the Criterion either way.

[pjalne]

The discs are the same, but the box comes with a paperback version of the script. Like we need people to know the lines better.
