I don't think there's anything I'd rather talk about this evening than the Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD. For those of you who don't know, or wonder why I'm suddenly going all odd about it, it was released today! (On Region 2, anyway. Americans have had it for ages.) I started watching the extras disc when I got home from work, and... well. Hilarious! What an excellent DVD package it is! I mean, DVD's come along and claim to be the ultimate DVD with loads of amazing never tried before extras, but how many of them are you really going to watch more than once? It's all very well claiming to be technically impressive, but if you ain't got that... I don't know where I was going with that. *ahem*
The The Quest for the Holy Grail Locations documentary is really amusing. Terry Jones and that nice Michael Palin revisit some of the locations used in the film. Now this may not sound interesting, but it is! Michael Palin even buys the script book so that he can read bits of the script at the appropriate locations. And tourists keep going, "Isn't that Michael Palin? I saw you once in a restaurant on the other side of the world!" Well, someone says that. One person. Sort of.
The BBC film On Location with the Pythons is a genuine bit of film from 1974 - they are all quite, quite mad. And the Lego version of the Knights of the Round Table song is fantastic! If you want to see it, check out the Lego Studios website.
The only bit I wasn't sure about was the How to use your Coconuts feature. Not terribly funny. Hmm.
Now I have the million different ways to watch the film to try out! Subtitles from Henry IV, for those who don't like the film? Read the screenplay while you watch the film? Commentaries? Follow the Killer Rabbit? Wow. Seriously, wow. I love this DVD!
