Our third own hand-drawn feature film was also the most expensive film to have been put into production in Denmark in the last millenium. Originally released theatrically on October 6th, 2000 as " Help! I'm a Fish ," it was released on DVD in the US as " A Fish Tale " some four years later, with a CG cover, to make it look like "Shark Tale" which came out four years later...

In order to help make the week a little more bearable, here are some assorted pieces of insanity both created and found online. Enjoy! Courtesy my flickr account and flickr toys . (Don't ask me where I found this. I have no idea.) Taken when I saw Terry Jones at a screening of Monty Python & the Holy Grail - easily one of the highlights of the past year. Just to make sure you're reading this through...

For most of you, you may be tempted to avoid purchasing the DVD - in fact, you may wish to acquire the hour-long version of this documentary via dubiously legal means. Trust me, the hour-long version is a little truncated, and the six hour version of Monty Python: Almost The Truth is nothing more than a revelation. Covering pretty much the entirety of Python history (including the 70s record albums,...

Former Monty Python star Terry Jones was spotted supporting a Welsh brewery the other day at the Star Inn, Dylife where he enjoyed a few pints of Festival Landmark and Brewster's from the Waen Brewery at Caersws. “Best pint around”, said Terry who expressed his love of the local beer and spent the afternoon drinking it. The Waen Brewery was only set up earlier this year and has already...

So Nick Griffin is to stand in Barking against Margaret Hodge. It's a fair assumption then that they think this is their best bet for a seat. Two things spring immediately to mind. First, the rather uninspired dullard that is Richard Barnbrook seems to be out in the cold having assumed he was going to have a shot. I hope there are no tensions there boys. Second, Nick seems to have deserted the North...

from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun, The Edmonton Oilers are clearly a hockey team in big, big trouble. And next comes double trouble. It was Game 16 and the body language of Pat Quinn’s team was that of a club mopping up the season with 16 games to go and out of the playoffs. The Oilers now head into the double trouble part of the schedule which will see them play 11 of the next 16 games on...

Nature and its laws seem to be governed by patterns which can be described mathematically, and human beings have been hard at work trying to make sense of such patterns for a very long time. In this first episode of the documentary series The Story of Maths, Marcus du Sautoy (who recently succeeded Richard Dawkins as the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University),...

Michael Palin and Terry Jones have complained that Chris Christie the Republican candidate for the New Jersey governorship used clips from a Monty Python sketch in a campaign advertisement.

Tomorrow's the big day - when New Jersey residents pick between incumbent governor, Democrat Jon Corzine, or outspoken opponent, former US Attorney Chris Christie. I've already written about Republican Chris Christie - and how his shameful record of corruption makes him a horrible choice for Governor . Fortunately, I'm not the only person to realize this - and recent opinion polls have shown that Christie's...

The publicly fat Chris Christie, a licensed lawyer, saw zero problem with taking a Monty Python sketch essentially in its entirety, editing in some choice Jon Corzine-is-awful-themed WordArt on the bottom of the screen, and airing it on national television without clearing it by the Monty Python people. Now Terry Jones and Michael Palin are [...] Monty Python - Terry Jones - Michael Palin - Television...

Chris Christie, 47, the GOP candidate for Governor of New Jersey in Tuesday's gubernatorial election, has used some Monty Python material without permission. The comedy troupe is none-to-happy. Christie is a lawyer, and a former U.S. attorney. He was appointed by George W. Bush as a U.S. Attorney in 2001 on Karl Rove's recommendation. The campaign advertisement, titled "Deja Vu," attacked...

And that’s not a joke. Terry Jones’ article “45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting if Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul” -at Investors Business Daily points out some statistics that I’m sure the White House wouldn’t like you to know. That’s the reason the socialist Congress have done in secret–completely without the news coverage with CNN [...]

2 Corinthians [14] Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? [15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? [16] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will...
