Anti-screwball to thewriteranon for being a history major.

"I hate Manwe's posts because I hate babies and America." --Augustine2004, August 6, 2011
Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'
'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'

It also has an acute case of being excruciatingly boring apart from a handful of way over-quoted bits that have long lost all charm.

"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

You know how rare it is to find myself in disagreement with you? I feel weird right now. Originally posted by Darth Executor

Spamalot was pretty good. The problem with Monty Python is that it's been quoted to death

It hasn't been quoted to death. It's just suffered a flesh wound.

I tried watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was rather quite tedious.
Crab Battle
noun
Words uttered to incite an all in brawl. Whoever says the words 'Crab Battle' will usually be spear tackled to the ground by anyone else present, and all parties will then engage in a fight to the death.
Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision. Existence taken for granted, absolute. Possessed, owned, controlled by the common sense-infected rational gaze, onward forever we walk among the ignorant. Never stray from the common lines.

I saw it years ago but it didn't strike me as anti-Christian. Brian isn't a stand-in for Jesus, he's a contemporary of Jesus. Christ actually appears in the movie to deliver the sermon on the mount. I don't recall it being too hostile towards religion or christianity specificaly Originally posted by GK Kirbyton
Should I, since all I know about the movie is that its at least anti-Church if not anti-Christian? You're sure its not that bad? BTW, Kirby knows how to defeat evil Chinese suicide death squad in one shallow.
Edit: Chris, I love Monty Python, they are awesome. (NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION) I only have a problem with this particular movie. :PProlonged Trauma Damages the Parts of the Brain that Handle Language!
