Originally posted by Canadian Bacon huh??? I rarely see extras listed on that sight on feature loaded discs, why would it be barebones if it's called an SE |

Originally posted by Richard Malloy I don't quite understand this either... does the site imply that this so-called "SE" is bare-bones, or simply that the extra features are yet to be determined? |
Sweet!

Got a list of special features over at The Digital Bits
http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html I realize that this is The Rumor Mill, but I have my fingers crossed ;) |
The circle is now complete.
Well, unless I wanna keep my hopes up for the "And Now For Something Completely Different" Special Edition. Now, as for special features, I must admit to being spoiled by other Python product, namely the Holy Grail SE & Life of Brian CC. This means that I will settle for no less than two audiocommentaries, one with two Pythons, the other with three. Also, I expect the deleted scenes to include the complete "Adventures of Martin Luther" sketch, the one hinted at on the soundtrack album, available in its entireity on the video game (but in crappy quality). What else? Oh, and I should add that I personally expect this to be another in my growing lists of Gilliam commentaries (That is, for The Crimson Permanent Assurance). Still hoping for Criterion to revisit Munchausen and Fisher King, as I believe both of these featured commentaries on laser disc. Wait a tic. My "two commentary" idea might not work so hot after all, as it would most likely make the most sense to have Gilliam solo during Crimson. I suppose the second track could be the other four during that portion. I'd love to hear Cleese complain about Gilliam spending the whole budget on his part. I've gone on long enough, but let me just say that I think it's also a great opportunity to allow the disc to allow you, by seamless branching, to view the film edited in the format described by a Python associate in "Monty Python Speaks," whereby the film is structured completely differently, with Spoiler:
Final note: Ignore everything I've said here. I'm insane. |

You could also "seamlessly branch" in the Martin Luther piece and stick Crimson back in the middle where it belongs. |
Originally posted by Pants In spite of your insanity can you elaborate on this? Link? JULIAN DOYLE, EDITOR, MEANING OF LIFE:One of the things about sketch films is you must end well. Like my old jazz teacher used to say, "Your applause on the end of a jazz song is how long you hold the last note." So you must leave them with a good memory at the end of a sketch film because they haven't got an overall experience of the thing; they just think it's been fun if they feel fun as the leave the cinema. Spoiler:
I have these horrible thoughts of where films can be better; they sort of stick with me. I don't think you can get Holy Grail much better, I don't think you can get Life of Brian much better--Otto would have helped a little. [But] Meaning of Life could have been a better film. |
