    You can watch The Ghost Goes West on youtube, or you can order it, but that movie is the perfect movie for a Python type remake. It's charming, it's silly, it's intelligent, it has room for slapstick and wit, and in the right director's hands, it could be a huge hit. Any directors out there? You're missing it if you don't do a remake of that movie.

    I actually saw this one a while ago, a friend of mine is very fond of old films. I could see it happening! I'll volunteer myself to help, I have many talents and I'm sure I can find something useful to do.

    Yay! That's four of us, Chris! We might need to order a water hose to separate two of them....(mrsthing and John Cleese look alike.) Thank you, Alex.

    You're welcome, I promise I'll be helpful! I'll hose those two down for a start. If it doesn't stop them, at least they'll be able to stay hydrated.

    True. Wouldn't want them to get friction burn.

    I wonder, if someone would think of a remake of any old films, let's say, 40 years later, with the same cast. That would be hilarious! 40 years is not that long, the vast majority of the people could still be alive anyway. I'd like to watch a remake with the same cast!

    Oh, the Holy Grail or the Life of Brian with the same cast... (OK, for poor Graham we would need to find a substitute. Or a better idea: Graham's scenes would be modified by Photoshop, he'd be made older, and that would do!).

    It would be pathetic, Chris. They're too old. Do you really want to see John's scarred knees and belly overhang in that centurion outfit? Or 70-year-old Eric as Mr. Cheeky? They'd probably dislocate his shoulders tying him up to the cross. And he's had knee trouble, too. And Michael...looks really old. Gilliam is the best preserved of all of them, but he's no spring chicken, either.

    No, we've got them preserved forever on DVD. Let's enjoy our memories, and let John, Eric, Terry, Michael, and Terry G just be who they are now. Python is probably more important to us that it is to them, at this point.

    Debbie Downer, GOOD LORD! You act as if they are like 150. They're at a really nice age, and they look just
    fine, and I don't want to enjoy the memories of the past all the damn time. I want MORE of the same good stuff from the same good people!!!! Just like Chris, said! Yes to seeing John's scarred knees. I liked that bathrobe photo.

    It's like, okay, can't help it, but it's like Paul McCartney. Would I have loved to have heard Paul McCartney in
    concert in his younger years? YES! Would I love to hear Paul McCartney in his older years? YES!!!! Same thing. When there's people that talented and special, age is not an issue. Quality rules.

    Yes, I'd like to watch them again in the same role! But also in other roles. :-) I agree with Fanny. Musicians & singers sing the same songs for 40 or 50 years, and people request it.

    Paul's voice has hardly changed. The Pythons' faces and bodies and voices have. If they do anything, it should not be a remake of any of their stuff.

    AGE IS A NUMBER.  WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE TIME AND HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.  I AM AFRAID A 20 YEAR OLD WOULD MAKE ME SNOOZE  YOU CAN DIE AT 20 OR 100.  THE TRICK IS HAVING GOALS AND NOT WASTING IT :D

    Humor does not belong just to the young. If you think back, to all the famous humor people, they were reaching their prime in middle age, and still going strong after that. That is what Pythons can still be doing and should be doing. Would you have told Mark Twain, hey, you're too old to write humor now? Would you have told the Marx Brothers to pack it up at 30? What about Bob Hope. George Burns. Lucille Ball was just getting started in her 40's as far as total acceptance for humor, and she kept going, and thank God, she did! I have listened to and talked with a lot of blues legends who were in their later years, and I'm so glad they didn't say, well the blues are only for the young people. Humor is the same thing. It's born out of the same broken hearts, and open souls as the blues. We've all been there. It's the thing that saves us, that lets us pick ourselves back up after somebody and everything has knocked us down to nothing, there's humor. It's not a damn age thing. Not ever.

    I didn't say the Pythons should hang it up. I said they shouldn't remake their old stuff.

    And I say they should! Not a total remake, but a continuation! Yes! That's it!  :)

    Life of Brian: The Middle Ages.

    You could keep the "You've got to think for yourselves" scene; just change the outfits, and have Brian executed for promoting heresy afterward.

    Meanwhile, King Arthur and his kniggets are searching for the holy grail, and bump into Brian and his followers in Constantinople. They rescue Brian from the gallows and speed off on their coconuts, the church police in hot pursuit, with their dominant hands in making circles in the air while they all screech like European emergency vehicles. Brian, his followers, King Arthur, and his kniggets make it onto a ship just as the church police are catching up. The church police, running pell mell down the dock, fall into the water and drown as the ship sails away.

    But 20,000 copies of "Gay Boys in Bondage" float to the surface, priced individually.

    The "drowning" ruse having been completely successful, the kniggets helped themselves to handfuls of the magazines.  They would be worth a fortune in the Korean convenience stores of Camelot, and they all knew it.  A fortune greater than that of the Holy Grail awaited them.
