More proof of how stupid Freepers are.
They just don't get it, do they?
It's frikkin' SATIRE!

The "minds" at Monty Python and/or the studio have also chosen to exhibit bad taste and reissue The Life Of Brian as a response to a successful film about Jesus Christ:
Denunciation being used to MARKET this film's re-release here

Also this is the ad campaign being used by the Landmark Theaters chain to promote this film:

In response to the furor over
Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ
Monty Python unleashes the theatrical re-release
(or second coming) of Life Of Brian
the troupe's quasi-Biblical saga of an inept,
reluctant messiah (Graham Chapman) who
happened to be born on the same night as Jesus.
Director Terry Jones, along with regulars
Michael Palin, John Cleese and Eric Idle,
take multiple roles in an irreverant religious
satire that raised the ire of church groups
from coast to coast when originally released.

THE PASSION OF THE BRIAN: LIFE OF BRIAN TO BE RE-RELEASED IN THEATERS NEXT MONTH

"A lot of people in America have said that they couldn't figure out a way to deal with the public reaction to Mel's movie," John Goldstone told Daily Variety yesterday. "This is a kind of antidote to Mel."

Hollywood is antiChrist. This marketing push proves it.

1. One of the best. Movies. Ever.
I love it -- I didn't get to see it in the theater the first time, so I will on the "second coming."

Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it. . . .

3. Actually, bushler is (the) antiChrist and frprs are his satanic minions.
Claiming divinity and exhibiting brutality is the definition of antiChrist.

4. Even if any of them know it's satire, they'd still have same opinion
Blasphemy! Sacrilege! etc. :shrug:

5. When I need a good laugh
Edited on Mon May-17-04 04:48 PM by Submariner
I play my mpeg of John Cleese's eulogy at Graham Chapman's funeral. He calls Graham a 'free-loading bastard' and the way he does it leaves the families and friends roaring laughing.
