Crumbaloo?

Oh, I am.

Except that they seem less potentially confrontational.

Dammit, I was really hoping this would be the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah song.

That question crosses the line.

Getting dreams right is one of the true tests of a filmmaker's ability to my mind, and there's not many directors in horror or otherwise that seem able to capture it.

@avclub-b6295f9a8b2d34f30d97c042a431dd6e:disqus : I believe that's a "napster."

I'm always a little surprised when someone else has even seen that movie— it's no masterpiece but I have great affection for it.

Well, you can if you pee on it.

The Stanley Tucci movie The Impostors has a variation on that joke as well, in which Tucci and Oliver Platt not only read Tony Shalhoub's subtitles, but at one point, due to the imaginary "fourth wall" position, find themselves behind the subtitles, reading them backwards.

@avclub-0f7a7a779f5c0634aace1a350df2d833:disqus Ever since going there I'm a sucker for anything Icelandic, so I'm definitely looking for that one.

There's a real desperation setting in with film comedy.  No one has the brains or wit or patience to construct anything like a good, sharp comic screenplay anymore (or very few do anyway).  And among performers there's none of the physical discipline or sense of timing that vaudeville or other forms of live…

@avclub-df106893a4574bccb7bce1ff66e788b9:disqus I can actually see that.  And based on references in a few sketches the Pythons seem to have been pretty aware of Pasolini.

I always thought of this song as saying "Hey, grab the nearest groupie."  Whatever the case, it seems pretty sleazy.

The way he says "here in the refreshment room of Bletchley" always gets me.  England has some of the worst-sounding place names.

Weirdly, that sketch really creeped me out when I first saw that episode.

His recurring impersonation of the then-Archbishop of Canterbury was always a winner.  (The monk reading the instructions for the Holy Hand Grenade for example.)

I actually thought it was pretty funny.  Palin and Maggie Smith work quite well together— I liked them in The Missionary as well.

Well of course Holy Grail does nod to The Seventh Seal here and there— the parade of flagellants for instance.  But I'd never really thought of it as a specific parody of any one film.
