Movie scene:
I love that Mr. Cleese isn’t politically correct, even though he is a flaming lefty!
“What is one supposed to make of that?”
Classic British understatement.
I was wondering when the tranny mob would go after that one!
Anybody that’s going to offend, needs offending. Reality and all that you know.
The clip is hilarious.
F them.
I watched CARRY ON GIRLS(1973) last night. Great skit about a man dressing as a woman, trying to get in on a Girls Beauty contest as a publicity stunt.
Watching Margaret Nolan is also a treat!
men still cannot have babies....
Frankly I am not inclined to care because he was one of the guys who led us to this point.
"Oh," he would say, "aren't all these walls silly? Let's tear them down, they spoil the view and I am sure they do not really serve any purpose. Oh, look at the cuddly puppies, aren't they cute. Let's invite them in!"
Twenty years later.
"Why is this wolf pack chasing me through the streets? Come rescue me!"
How about no.
Don’t do it, John. Stand firm.
He is also rebooting Fawlty Towers to give his daughter a job. Well, ok, why does Rob Freaking Reiner have to produce? Why go to Castle Rock? Who convinced you they don't suck (they do).
Cleese is in exactly the same "Life of Brian" trap in this reboot, by stupidly moving the hotel to the Caribbean, he's the invader, so it will be hour-after-hour of him 'taking the piss', as the British call it -- and that will wear thin fast -- instead of him being able to ladle out occasionally clever insults to the minority help at home inside Fawlty on the English Riveria.
Now he's got actors -- ACTORS -- telling him to re-write his script (which was Idle/Gilliam at concept, but according to the books the daily re-writes flew fast and furious from all Pythons after George Harrison wrote the $3M check to save the film at the onset of production).
Instead of doing what you're doing, Cleese, why not add some CGI to Life of Brian and maybe have "Loretta" be Mr. Dylan. "I want you all to call me Loretta ... and etch my mutant face on a jug of wine!"
Think of all the fun he could have in the Matthias stoning scene lofl. "Who threw that stone? She did she did! He did he did!"
Absolutely one of the best scenes in the movie, and amazingly decades ahead of its time, at least as regards this issue. Not surprised at the pushback - the devil will not be mocked.
Keep joke about man having a baby it tells it like it is the wimp actors warning show just how much of a puss they are.
Loretta indeed LOL
Keep it in a box
