Monty Python Week on IFC.

Tune in peoples. Terry Jones' son has produced and filmed a six-part documentary airing along side all of the best-bestest Monty Python skits and full-features on IFC. The cast comprised of these blokes:

Micheal Palin

Graham Chapman
Eric Idle
Terry Gilliam
John Cleese
Terry Jones

And this is my, and will be your, favorite skit by These Flying Circi:



Gilliam is my fav. Take a gander at his stylistic aggressions toward the absurd and brilliance. Top notch.

Throughout the Python cannon, Gilliam's interludes created cohesiveness when there was none to be had. Enter animation and suspension of disbelief. To each and to all's awe.


It's certainly no Judean's Peoples Front contribution... Fuckin' splitters.

It's the People's Front of Judea!!

Since breaking wits with the circi... Gilliam went on to direct quite a few American noticed films ~ oddly enough, as he was the only American of the troupe ~ Time Bandits (1981), Brazil (1985), The Fisher King(1991) and 1995's 12 Monkeys. His latest flick was released Oct. 16th:

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Yees. Johnny Depp and Heath Ledger.
