Monty Python's The Meaning of Life Blu-ray

Quote:

Those six pandemonium-mad Pythons are back with their craziest adventure ever! John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin have returned to explain The Meaning of Life. These naughty Brits offer the usual tasteful sketches involving favorite body parts and bodily functions, the wonders of war, the miracle of birth and a special preview of what's waiting for us in Heaven. Nothing is too sacred for the probing Python crew. You'll never look at life in quite the same way again. Time pronounces it "an exhilarating experience!" Newsweek agrees, calling it, "the best movie from England's satirical sextet." Winner of the 1983 Cannes Film Festival Special Jury Award.

you can import that from Japan Paramount released it over there.

Excellent news, and it's a welcome surprise that Universal have a new hour-long documentary for us as well. Easily worth the $13.99 for the film plus the two-disc extras and new retrospective.

Just one more blu ray, after all it is only wafer thin

starman15317 · 05-30-2013, 03:23 PM

I'll buy it. I still need to buy Holy Grail and Life of Brian as well.

My favorite MP movie, probably because it reminds me of The Flying Circus, a childhood favorite. Used to watch it on the local PBS station.

About time, one of the last HD-DVD holdouts

Captain Kirk · 05-30-2013, 04:59 PM

Finally! My favorite Monty Python is finally making the leap to blu!

This film taught me never to eat canned salmon mousse.

How does the HDDVD look? I've kinda worn this movie out, not gonna bother upgrading if it's the usual sort of Universal product.
