Did anybody else watch "Holy Flying Circus" last night?
I thought that it was quite amusing that they were aiming for the same irreverent, surrealist-tinged tone that the Pythons managed so well but that it often came over as rather forced. Just goes to show how hard it is to pull that off; the Pythons made it all look too easy.
But the performances were incredible. The actors really inhabited their characters. The ones who didn't really look like the Pythons (Gilliam and Idle) had the voices down perfectly, and they all really captured their essence. Palin, Cleese and Jones were scary-perfect.
