In honor of the 40th anniversary of Monty Python this week, we devoting this weekend’s movie moments to those titans of English comedy who’ve colonized the brains of young geeks, nerds, and slightly stoned layabouts the world over. Here, we have a pair of movie moments reminding us of the importance of knowing your avian zoology from the group’s epochal first feature.
Pythonistas should be sure to also check out English comedy maven Will Harris’s piece on Python solo projects over at Bullz-Eye.com
Some on the right have tried to make arguing for the freedom of Roman Polanski into a left wing cause rather than something espoused by a few filmmakers and entertainment figures a bit blinded by Polanski’s brilliance as a filmmaker. If Polanski really is the next Sacco & Vanzetti, Leonard Peltier or Mumia, why is this piece of verse of blunt-spoken verse by Calvin Trillin running in the country’s best known left-of-center publication? (H/t The Auteur’s Daily.)
Believe me, lefties are as angry at Polanski’s crime as righties and the poem’s attitudes are common across the political board. I actually like these verses quite a bit, and largely agree with them, though I’d vehemently quibble over one of Trillin’s word choices. However, I’ve already quibbled myself silly in various comments sections.
Instead, for no particular reason, I present an indescribable moment of Polanski, the actor, with a magnificent friend lip-synching a standard by Noël Coward — as suggested by Will Harris’s fine new piece on Monty Python solo projects.
