Not a big fan of the movie, Life of Brian and Meaning of Life is better and where is Meaning of Life?!

[Arkadin]

I remember when it was on amazon.uk over 2 years ago.
guess the time has finally come.

[Toasterlad]

Up for pre-order at Amazon!

[hedliniv]

finally! I hope it a standard Sony transfer (AKA - absolutely amazing!!)

When it receives a release date then I'll get excited. I also hopes this gets a remaster because the 2 Disc DVD looks awful as it has plenty of artifacts, scratches, and dirt.

[Al_The_Strange]

Yes!! I will own it!

I'm so thrilled, I'll be running around the office saying "Ni!" to everybody!

[HD Goofnut]

King Arthur: I am your king.

Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Woman: Well how'd you become king then?

[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.

Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I still laugh at this scene every time

[seregloth]

I hope it's not a barebones edition. I really like some of the stuff on the dvd special edition.

[ozzsoad]

Awesome, it's about time. Easily my second favorite comedy of all time after This is Spinal Tap.

[Adam_ME]

"One day, lad, all this will be yours."

"What? The curtains?"

"[smacks head]No, not the curtains, lad!"

[bigshot]

I remember when I was in high school. All the nerds would go around quoting big chunks of Monty Python, imitating the voices. Nothing on this planet could be more annoying.

It's a great film, but it isn't liable to look much better than the restored DVD. The film was shot on the cheap with minimal lighting, I think on 16mm. Even in theaters, I remember it being heavy with grain and pretty soft looking.

lol, guess you just weren't part of the "in" crowd back in High School...

Not to worry, though. It's just a flesh wound.

[Steve James]

Just reading some of the quotes above, from the movie is gonna make me watch it on DVD later.
I hope they finally do release it on Blu. John Cleece's French soldier scene in Hi-Def
This and Life of Brian, a few beers with mates............ a great night in!

[Jutty]

grew up watching the ol python lads on TV.
Cant wait for this to be released

[Snowmaker]

I'll probably just stick with my DVD since it comes with The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail too.

I can't see this movie benefitting much from Blu-ray.

[Monroville]

Snowmaker: you never know! There have been plenty of movies that I thought could NEVER look as good as they do, yet there they are:

NEW YORK RIPPER
BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
THE ROAD WARRIOR
FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
FIRE AND ICE
hell, even LIFE OF BRIAN

just to name a few.

you know what? Let's throw in ALIEN 2: ON EARTH.. sure, the movie may still be crap, but the PQ definitely isn't!

[PlisskenReplicant]

cant wait. getting it on day one!

I can (assuming Sony keeps the "Henry VI" track from the DVD), but until I see a date, it's a Placeholder. End of story.

[RYJAPE21]

Funniest. Comedy. Ever.
