Great,Great Movie!

Prince Sir Dennis Cooper?

[Buckeye McFrog]

“Wait a tic, blimey, this Redistribution of Wealth is trickier than I thought.”

Epic line! But it was said by John Cleese.

[FreeReign]

Haven’t seen a single thing this man has been in.

Never liked Monty Python

How does one not like Monty Python without seeing "a single thing" Palin was in?

[marajade]

Saw clips of Monty Python, never liked it.

I don’t know if he was in the clips I saw and decided I didn’t like it.

The only actor I remember from Monty Python was John Cleese.

Found my answer - was offered a CBE and turned it down as well as a seat in the House of Lords:

Did a docu. while in North Korea. Surprised how frank he was with his handlers.

As great as Palin was as a Python I really enjoyed the travel documentaries he did.”Pole to Pole” was one...can’t recall the other titles.A very intelligent guy indeed...which I guess explains his degree from Oxford.

It happens. You kissed the most creative comedy group of the last century. Each on a genius in his own way. Masters of sketch comedy. Creative humor and movies. Individually successful.

MISSED

[D_Idaho]

Congrats. Guy’s still a jerk.

[marajade]

Not much of a comedy person. Prefer drama, sci fi, and fantasy.

[morphing libertarian]

FYI

The Monty Python troupe was highly educated; Terry Jones and Michael Palin are Oxford University graduates; Eric Idle, John Cleese and Graham Chapman attended Cambridge University; and American-born member Terry Gilliam graduated from Occidental College.

[Churchillspirit]

Michael Palin is a jerk.

Not much of a comedy person.

Too bad.

I invited a co-worker over for dinner
and my wife made a shrimp casserole.
He sat down at the table, saw what was
served, and said, “I don’t eat fish.”

Aside from being a shitty thing for a guest
to say, it encompassed such a huge range
of food, you could only shake your head.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yup...knew that. Cleese is a trained lawyer and Chapman was a trained physician. I guess comedy was more lucrative (and/or fun) than medicine or law.

[Gay State Conservative]

Fim...tim...bim...biscuit barrel....

[dfwgator]

Silly Party!

[Gay State Conservative]

...*Slightly* Silly!

[marajade]

I don’t eat shrimp either.
