Yes but it would star Jack Black as Brian and Seth McFarlane as every other Python member. And it would be called The amusing lives of McFarlane and Black featuring Seth McFarlane

It actually would be possible. Religion has taken a huge beating since the 70's. Nobody even give a shit. What would take some balls is a movie like this taking on the politically correct left and the SJWs

I tend to agree. I loved it when I watched it alone at 14 but trying to introduce my friend to it recently, pretty much every joke fell flat. I felt embarrassed. No idea what happened that changed my perception so much

I really haven't appreciated the fact enough. I've grown up with the current state of things so I've always taken it for granted. The feminists in particular have started going after old books and movies now, though. Getting words banned and things like that. It's not looking good.

Confirmed. I also tried to show it to a fun-hating friend who ruined the experience. Watched it again later without him and it was just as good as before.

>People are going to eat this up as funny because Drug humor, shining reference, and the fact that the main character is a jewish neckbeard
Comedy has been fucked, it's literally nothing but drug humor to attract dumb stoners, reference humor in order to make people think "Wow, I remember that, that was funny!" and then have a silly stereotype to look edgy, when really they don't really do any jokes or anything creative with it, other than "Haha, he has the jew star on him, he's jewish, get it?". Just the fact that people are eating up the big bang theory and everyone is starting to copy Adult Swim makes me want to vomit, it's only a matter of time until some shitty movie about 4channers comes out and people eat that shit up because "I don't understand anything in the movie, but it has internet humor, so it must be automatically funny."
>>
>>62700648
The joke itself isn't even that funny, its the guards trying to not laugh that makes it fucking gold

They would make a film about the idea that people have about 4chan rather than what 4chan truly is. Sad.

I'd much rather have a film about /lit/ than /b/ or /v/
>>
I must be one of the few people on Earth who actually prefer Holy Grail. Life of Brian has many hilarious moments, and does some great commentary, but I simply prefer HG's more absurd, fourth-wall-breaking humor. Some of LoB's sketches are longer with more text, and while they're still funny, they're not as easily memorable as HG's.

>>62704050

That is fucking hilarious.

Well done /lit/
>>
>>62701340
Same. Rewatched it not too long ago, and while it's certainly not bad, shit feels tame and predictable now. I don't understand how LoB caused the shitstorm that it did at the time. The humanistic views expressed go as far back as the Renaissance and religious satire is pretty much a mainstay of western civilization these days. They're also laid out so moderately I don't see how anyone could be offended.

as long as its not life of muhammad then it would be ok

there's tons of anti christian films each year

Why did they need to use a cut when Pilate hits Brian in the Biggus Dickus scene? Was Graham Chapman a complete pussy or something?

If LOB was made now, it would have a hiphop soundtrack, at least one movie reference, muh funeh improv scenes, dick and shit jokes with 100% less perfected timing and instead just spam it, and unfunny retards like Seth Rogan. Oh, and don't forget weed.

I kinda do as well.

Although you have to have a thick skin to last on the internet you have too many 13 year olds and others desperate for approval and attention trying to outwit and disgust each other for a chance of their post being captioned and posted. It's like facebook for losers without a friends list.

I know this is probably bait but, Chapman wasn't well. He had his own nurse in attendance throughout the filming of LoB. He was a life long alcoholic and his liver was practically dead at this point even though he had been on the wagon for two years prior to filming.

Also, fuck you.

It's played out as of right now. What's your point?
