In The Beginning, there was MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. The funniest movie ever made. But lo, cometh Monty Python's THE LIFE OF BRIAN. Another the funniest movie ever made.
Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin capture scripture in a bottle and haul off with JESUS CHRIST: LUST FOR GLORY, renamed for popular consumption THE LIFE OF BRIAN, the story of a babe born in a manger next door to Jesus, and eternally tied to the gloryhunting Jew in subtle ways that would eventually get him also crucified.
I'm Brian - and so 's my wife.
(from the "I'm Spartacus!" which morphed into "I am Malcolm X" --after THE LIFE OF BRIAN-- there was "I am Tiger Woods.")

Terry Jones: "One of the things we tried to do with the show was to try and do something that was so unpredictable that it had no shape and you could never say what the kind of humor was. And I think that the fact that "Pythonesque" is now a word in the Oxford English Dictionary shows the extent to which we failed."
