Last week, I was unfortunate enough to have to listen to Carol Ann Duffy's The Last Post as I watched the Armistice Day service at Westminster Abbey. It was like throwing up and seeing the pizza you'd eaten six hours previous wallowing in the vomit, for I had to endure the cliche-filled whining of this enter-button crazed cantankerous cretin for three years prior to this. For she - who looks like...

On October 4, 1989, founding Monty Python member Graham Chapman, star of both Holy Grail and Life of Brian, died from cancer. At his memorial service, the remaining Pythons eulogized Chapman in truly appropriate style — by cursing, joking around, but in the end, expressing love for their lost peer.

And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, The speed of the earth's revolution...

Sure, “Young Frankenstein” has some sections—most notably, the superb Shuler Hensley’s tour-de-force turn as Ritz-lovin’ Monster—that bring a smile to your face. Director/chorographer Susan Stroman’s Act One nightmare number, “Join the Family Business” (the show’s deftly flipped equivalent to “I Want to be a Producer”) is cleverly...
Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves working for the BBC where his job entails erasing old show master tapes because they don't have the foresight to know that people may want to watch them again someday. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. This week... Monty Python, Orphan, Stan Helsing, and more!
Monty Python: The Other British Invasion is a collection of two documentaries and two short featurettes that deal with how the famous comedy troupe came together and their effect on American TV comedy. The first doc, the [appropriately] black & white Before the Flying Circus, looks at how the members of the group came [...]

And now for something completely different? Well, yes and no; swings and roundabouts, square pegs and round holes, know what I mean, nudge, nudge. Eric Idle and composer John Du Prez have already conquered Broadway and the West End with their stage musical version of Spamalot. But on Friday – to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first Monty Python broadcast – they presented a one-off...
