maybe he's collecting rust for an elaborate prank. conversations that consist entirely of quotes are painful to be a part of

i cannot think of any quoting that is worse than monty python quoting

did nobody ever quote napoleon dynamite all day long where you lived? (poorly constructed sentence)

I'M ON A BOAT

I wish I could just enjoy something a few times then hear about it later and still love it.  Monty Python is completely ruined for me.  I will not watch that movie again for many, many years, if ever.  I hate it so much now because of all the people quoting it.  Every scene in that movie with dialog annoys me. 

What's worse is how people do that annoying fake british accent that they do in the movie.  It was mildly amusing in it, but grating in real life.

yes but that faded out, nobody does this anymore, monty python has been around since before i was born and continues to be quoted now

D'oh!

I don't mind quoting in small quantities. If it's your only means of humour, git oot.

there's also a difference between quoting something to your friends that you and your friends all know and quoting monty python something to people you don't even really know that well, and even if they know what you're talking about you have no clue if they're going to find it funny or not and yet you KEEP DOING IT over and over and over

this is mostly their real accents just played up slightly

graham chapman for one talked exactly like that

for new year's one of my roommates brought a bunch of his friends from home to our house and one of them kept doing this austin powers impression for no apparent reason.  I didn't really know what he was doing so I just tried to avoid him.

Never seen Monty Python so if anyone has ever quoted from it, I wouldnt know.

You should see it. It's pretty classic, imho

yeah.  thats bad advice.

i don't find monty python as funny as i did as a kid anymore


a small handful of the sketches make me laugh still but most of them just aren't that funny anymore, and it's not because of people running them into the ground because a lot of them are ones nobody quotes and i still just don't care anymore

i think i finally decided that monty python is like the hitchhiker's guide--you've got to be into it when you're about in 7th/8th grade for it to work out, because at that age you have i guess a more intelligent sense of humor than the average kid that age and that's kind of cool but you can't really hang onto that idea that that's the cleverest humor in the world because it really isn't (but at least later you can have FOND MEMORIES)

i found monty python to be more of a stepping stone to better stuff, like peter cook or spike milligan(who python was admittedly a sad ripoff of anyway). i can still watch python and enjoy much of it for what it is, but it's not the sort of thing that i can really watch with frequency. i'm really talking about the tv show too, because i find the first two movies almost entirely unwatchable now.

so yeah, phase stuff. tim and eric are absolutely like that, to an even greater extent. i can still watch python for a few minutes every once in a long while, but i can't watch tim and eric at all anymore. it's really dumb stuff and once the effect the weirdness has on you wears off, there isn't any reason to continue watching. there's a lot of humor like that really, but tim and eric are really glaring examples of it.


anyway, i watched Up. pretty good movie and surprisingly sincere at times, but they really didn't have the content for a full movie. instead of just being an ok movie, it could have been a tremendous short film. there was about 15 minutes of really great stuff and an hour and change of this fluff that didn't really contribute to what the movie was about. it was excellent for what it was, though, and was a bit more engaging than i had expected it to be.

here's how you make a special-effects driven film btw
