The Life of Brian

The next film night (Thursday 12th June) is The Life of Brian. If you've not seen it before, it's a very funny film. If you can handle the strong language and the irreverence, it's also making a serious point or two about human nature and those who follow Jesus the Messiah - not the Messiah himself. "I say you are Messiah, and I should know. I've followed a few". It's still causing arguments even now - see IMDB for the film's entry.

Me too. I wonder how many of us will struggle not to quote the lines before / as they happen? :o)

"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!".

Brian's mother: What star sign is he?
Wise Man 2: Capricorn.
Brian's mother: Capricorn, eh? What are they like?
Wise Man 2: He is the son of God, our Messiah.
Wise Man 1: King of the Jews.
Brian's mother: And that's Capricorn, is it?
Wise Man 3: No, no, that's just him.
Brian's mother: Oh, I was going to say, otherwise there'd be a lot of them.
