DESCRIPTION:
One of the GOOD books on Python! At this point, there have been many, many tomes written on the now-legendary British comedy troupe Monty Python. The best of them are: George Melly's "The Life of Python" (one of the few written before member Graham Chapman's death); Kim Howard Johnson's two titles, "First 20 Years of Monty Python" and "Life Before and After Monty Pytho. This Book Is Absolutely Amazing If you are a Monty Python lover, this is something you MUST OWN.As a Monty Python fan who owns just about every video, DVD, book, album, etc. there is, I have to say that this blows away everything I've ever owned. When I opened up the package and did a quick look-over of the book, I almost passed out with joy. There have been *many* Py. The Life Of Monty In many ways, this large tome is infinitely more satisfying than any of their shows, movies and records because of just how funny, sad, amazing, hysterical, and bizarre the reality is. They were quite a jolt to American TV and International film, but in fact, followed in a rather historical line directly from the Goon Show, Morecombe an
Its impact on the world has been felt ever since.From its humble beginnings as late night entertainment on a British TV channel that went off the air before midnight, it blossomed into arguably the most influential movement in modern comedy. They found the Holy Grail, they detailed the life of the Savior-also-ran Brian, and when we were lost, they explained The Meaning of Life.Now, those purveyors of dead parrots and silly walks are going to tell us something more: Their story. Monty Python's Flying Circus, an unheralded, previously unseen and practically unprogrammed half hour of sketches, hilarities, inanities and animations first appeared on the BBC late one night in 1969. A tome, a tombstone, the definitive word on all things Python, as told by all things Python - do you want Spam with that?. In their own, intimate, never before heard words.The Pythons by The Pythons is the definitive word on all things Pythonesque (the only word invented by a modern comedian which is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary.) 30 years of insight, hindsight, and bad sight - now told for the first time. Over thirty years ago, a group of five Englishmen and one wayward American, re-wrote the rules of comedy. Stuff they're never remembered before alongside stories they'd forgotten to say, coupled with things they couldn't say then and even more things they can't pronounce now (with a healthy dollop o
What does fill the book is an abundance of photos (over 1,000), most never published and many from the troupe's private collections. As a whole, the six impart a refreshing ability to deal honestly with the frustrations that arose over the years and it comes out in the text even when events are recalled differently. "Due to his insistence of being inconveniently dead," Chapham's voice is heard through his longtime partner David Sherlock, his brother and sister-in-law (and some archival materials). The voices are fresh (with expectation of Michael Palin's insightful diary entries), not just complied from earlier publications. Python fans will need to clea
