Going to see John Cleese!

I disagree. I sometimes wish I could capture that moment when I saw it the first time and laughed till it hurt.

The first time I saw it, I was alone in an almost empty cinema on a Saturday afternoon. My immediate response was “This isn’t funny, it’s just dumb!” (Obviously I had had almost no exposure to MP before this.) The only part where I laughed was when Lancelot kicked Princess Lucky in the chest.

I went to see it again with some friends on a Friday night a couple of weeks later, and the cinema was packed. That time, I laughed my ass off!

WOW!

I had the idea that, for years, Cleese was a bit tired of Monty Python, but if his recent talk show appearances are anything to go by, then he’s had a change of heart. He’s been an absolute delight of late, and I envy anyone the chance to see the Holy Grail and listen to him speak afterwards.
