"He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy"

Good news, my friends, good news. Monty Python's Life of Brian is being re-released to celebrate its 25th birthday.

"Life of Brian" will open at the end of April in Los Angeles and New York before expanding to other cities across the country, Rainbow Film Company president Henry Jaglom (news), whose distribution arm is reissuing the film, said on Tuesday.

I just hope they have the good sense to release it over in the UK. Being a young sprog of 22, I never had the chance to see the Python films on the big screen. Instead I was doomed to watch them on a tiny black and white television that we had to wind up before use. While wrapped in a threadbare sheet. In a field. While being pumelled by angry dwarfs. It's grim up north.
