Life of Brian (1979)
10/10
I'm a Roman Catholic!
4 April 2007
Utter hysteria! Oh yes, oh yes! I think it's incredibly funny they re-released the movie to celebrate its 25th anniversary AND to coincide with the Passion of the Christ (torture porn like Saw and Hostel...which is a good thing in another sense).

Yes, I'm a Roman Catholic and I'm utterly proud of their song in that other movie (The Meaning of Life) sending up my beliefs. No, seriously, I'm a practicing Roman Catholic, I believe in the Pope and in birth control and all that! And I honestly take the Python song "Every Sperm is Sacred" as a compliment! (they had a lot more to say about us Catholics in the Protestant portion afterward where the Protestant complains--and let me quote--

Harry Blackitt:'Because... every time they (Catholics) have sexual intercourse, they have to have a baby.'

Mrs. Blackitt: 'But it's the same with us, Harry.'

Harry Blackitt: 'What do you mean?'

Mrs. Blackitt: 'Well, I mean, we've got two children, and we've had sexual intercourse twice.')

I think this movie, "Life of Brian" has brilliant bits as well, and if I'm Roman Catholic (declaring it for a fourth time) and can't laugh at myself I might as well slit my wrists!
