Last night’s Game of Thrones begins with the sightless gaze of Jon Snow, right where we left him last year. But the most striking moments of the episode—including its final shocker—involve the gazes of women, usually without any words at all. There weren’t any dragons or zombies, and only a couple glimpses of a…
Back in 2012, a movie called Snow White and the Public Domain IP unexpectedly made almost $400 million. And that’s why today sees the release of a second film, Huntsman: The Contractual Obligation Movie (although for some reason the posters call it The Huntsman: Winter’s War. Go figure.) The Contractual Obligation…
When tackling something as big as death, it’s sometimes easiest to make it into a single personality. Genre fiction is replete with capital-“D”-Deaths. Some are serious, some are funny, and some are just annoying. Here are ten great representatives from the great beyond.
Terry Gilliam’s fantastical animation work for the cult classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail was already a sight to behold—but we almost got a lot more of it in the actual film. Now 40 years later, an extended cut of mostly-finished animation work, thought lost to time, has been found. And you can watch it all…
What do Judge Dredd, Mad Max and Adventure Time all have in common? They’re three of the best post-apocalyptic narratives we’ve ever seen. And they’re all slightly ludicrous, ranging from outright surrealism to mad social satire. In fact, the best post-apocalyptic storytelling is usually kind of ridiculous.
Simon Pegg stars in what more or less looks like a riff on Bruce Almighty, except with aliens instead of Morgan “God” Freeman. It also boasts the voices of Monty Python (Terry Jones directed and co-wrote) and Robin Williams (in his final role). Check out the Absolutely Anything trailer below!
For Record Store Day, the Pythons and Hawking teamed up to record Hawking singing the title song to Monty Python — The Meaning of Life. And it is all that is beautiful and right and just in this world.
The computer revolution didn't come into people's homes overnight. There was a long period when the public was still discovering all the things they could do if they owned a computer — and this led to some truly outrageous TV ads. Check out the most hilarious and creative classic home computer ads ever made.
Some of the best TV shows were made for a song — but did you know that some of your favorite movies have featured ridiculously cheap scenery and props, as well? We're not just talking 1950s "B" movies, but more recent stuff. Here are some of the most wonderfully cheap sets and props from classic films.
Here's your first look at Simon Pegg in Absolutely Anything. But more importantly, this alien film also stars Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and John Cleese, so it's a Monty Python reunion, basically! Kind of!
There's a lot to love about vintage Monty Python—dead parrots, silly walks, lumberjacks, killer rabbits—but Terry Gilliam's magic touch with his signature cut-out animations really gave the group a goofball creative edge. In this clip from the early 1970s, a fresh-faced Gilliam (with an incredible 'do) describes his…
Mick Jagger makes fun of himself and the Stones in this promotional video for the new Monty Python show. It's always fun to see legends shooting themselves down.
Monty Python's new mostly-live-show premieres tonight at the London O2 Arena. And they just released this video to show a little bit of what a few lucky bastards will get to see.
Unless you were one of the lucky people able to buy a ticket to the reunited Monty Python's stage show in the 44 seconds it took for them to sell out, you had no chance of witnessing the legendary comedy troupe's swansong. Praise be to Brian!
The Monty Python lads are gearing up for their upcoming live stage show, and as a tease, they've released the uptempo anti-authoritarian anthem "The Silly Walks Song," along with a video that celebrates decades of goofy Python imagery.
A great cult movie is like a weird underground discovery, that feels so strange and wonderful, you suspect that you're the first person ever to appreciate it properly. But certain cult films have acquired fame and influence to rival any blockbuster, and have become part of our shared vocabulary. Here are 30 essential…
We've just learned that Simon Pegg will star in Absolutely Anything, a brand new film that reunites the surviving Monty Python castmembers. But how will this movie stack up to the canon of Monty Python spinoffs? Here are 12 Python side projects, ranked in order of greatness.
Looks like Simon Pegg has crossed one more genre staple off his movie bucket list: zombies, aliens, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and now Monty Python.
Ever sat on a seat in the kitchen, or in a bathtub, and wanted to do a little artistic science? How about making it rain food coloring all around you? How about making a localized rainstorm.
What if the Monty Python gang made a super serious Holy Grail movie? It would probably look a lot like this.
