5.0 out of 5 stars As much fun as the movie!, October 4, 2002

This review is from: Monty Python's the Life of Brian (Of Nazareth) (Paperback)

This is a very large paperback that includes both the full script from the movie and a scrapbook of scenes and excerpts. I laughed as hard reading the script as I did at the movie itself -- in part because I now understood what they were saying! Brian was the best Python movie -- the only one with a complete story, and fine mistreatment of Christianity. This book is a great way to remember it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't confuse this large-format trade paperback (isbn 0448165686, 11x14") with the small mass-market paperback (no isbn, 4x7") with the same title which contains only the script (no scrapbook).

This review is from: Monty Python's the Life of Brian (Of Nazareth) (Paperback)

This book has great photos, illustrations, and EVEN DELETED SCENES like one where Brian is trying to pass as a preacher, and rants about various things people do wrong ... "...and join false sects..." "What? Enjoy forced sex? "

This book is NOT to be missed. If you can find it that is. I have one, but it is falling apart due to mediocre binding.

This review is from: Monty Python's the Life of Brian (Of Nazareth) (Paperback)

I found the exact same book on 'amazon' for $9.00 + shipping and one for almost $70 + shipping. It pays to shop around. I've had this book previously (1980), and found the 'out-takes' hilarious and to role-play the real screen play and the out-takes made for a great party game. (If this is the same book I had then.) 1/2 way through the book, you had to turn it over. Also, it wasn't your usual 'paperback.' It was huge. I'd say 12" X 8" or so. I just hope that that is what I'm ordering. Amazon dosen't give the dimensions of the book.
