Tamarin mentioned one of his new favorite sites is www.wikipedia.org, which is a great free encyclopedia. I went there looking up some information on William James, and then decided to putter around a bit.
And a good thing I did, too! I found the following tidbit in the Monty Python section:
"On 24 March 2004, CNN reported that the film distributor Rainbow Film Company would be re-releasing Life of Brian at the end of April 2004 in Los Angeles and New York before expanding to other cities across the USA. This was reported to be a direct result of the release of Mel Gibson’s movie, The Passion of the Christ."
Could it be true? Could it be???? It is! Not only that, but a release schedule can be found at the semi-official Python site. Frankly, in my view this is the only bit of good that’s come from Gibson’s flick. Other than the morons who find themselves confessing to crimes from 20 years ago because of the movie, because frankly that’s just entertaining as hell.
And before you ask, Tamarin, yes, Kansas City is on the list, opening TOMORROW! We poor Chicago dwellers will have to wait until June 18.

*edited to add: Also, SPAMALOT – a musical stage version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail – is proceeding apace. Apparently it’s planning a Broadway run to start in March 2005, but will have a run at the Schubert Theatre in Chicago starting December 2004. Huzzah! http://www.dailyllama.com/news/2004/llama236.html
