In Reply to: Monty Python still has my nod for the best version. posted by Audiophilander on July 23, 2003 at 23:51:10:
Whenever a smug liberal newscaster or reporter covers a topic of conservative concern, the descriptors "controversial" or "not mainstream" are sure to be included, along with a wrinkled nose.And that's exactly what the quote in the subject line is doing.
The writer has not seen the film, he's only read reports in the liberal press -- but the "controversial" aspect has dissuaded him from attending it. But in typical liberal fashion, he adds to the downhill snowball by appending the phrases "religious zealotry", "crazed cultists" and "allegorical fables".
Well! Who'd ever want to see a movie like that!
The writer mentions Monty Python. Perhaps he should inform himself of the censored parts of Life of Brian. They're hilarious, but in the "liberal" venue of this writer, unshowable in theatres.
