Author Topic: Not The Messiah... John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-09-2010 08:36 PM                     Did anyone play this at their theatre? How did it go? Not The Messiah trailer.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 06-09-2010 09:58 PM                        John, I do not recall NOT THE MESSIAH ever playing at any theatres in Hawaii but I have seen the video promotion trailer on Sony's Blu-Ray discs many times. I think the movie was released yesterday on home video. From what I can tell from the promo clip I saw, NOT THE MESSIAH is a parody on Handel's MESSIAH by Monty Pyhton and it looks like a fun thing to watch. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Peter Castle Expert Film Handler Posts: 220 From: Wollongong University, NSW ,Australia Registered: Oct 2003 posted 06-10-2010 12:27 AM                     It was screened in UK in February or March. We're scheduled to show it at the end of July-early August.  |  IP: Logged Elise Brandt Expert Film Handler Posts: 160 From: Kuusankoski, FIN/ Kouvola, Finland Registered: Dec 2009 posted 06-10-2010 05:15 AM                     Yeah, we'd like to show it but have been waiting for our satellite dish to arrive for the past three months.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-10-2010 11:12 AM                     Netflix has it on standard DVD...long wait, though. I just added it to my queue.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-11-2010 06:00 PM                  Wow - Netflix has it on blu-ray too. I just added it as well...short wait!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-11-2010 07:53 PM                     We've been offered it for end of July/early August too but it comes out on DVD in August so unless it's a huge show, I'd rather not be an advertisement for the DVD release.  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 06-11-2010 08:03 PM                     Well put, John.  |  IP: Logged Mark Hajducki Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Edinburgh, UK Registered: May 2003 posted 06-12-2010 05:12 PM                     quote: Elise Brandt Yeah, we'd like to show it but have been waiting for our satellite dish to arrive for the past three months.

Only it's taking forever...  |  IP: Logged Mark Hajducki Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Edinburgh, UK Registered: May 2003 posted 06-14-2010 07:24 AM                     In the UK it is handled by Arts Alliance Media and arrived on one of their normal hard drives. Some of their disks leave the UK (or at least have continental power leads).  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-14-2010 11:36 AM                  quote: John Wilson it comes out on DVD in August Actually it's out over here.

It looked and sounded great on blu-ray but Eric Idle has milked his Python roots one time too many. I thought "Spamalot" was over-rated but at least it held my interest. The story of "Life of Brian" told in opera music? Give me a break! The highlight of the show was the encore...The Lumberjack Song. The song about sheep wasn't too bad either. Otherwise...watch LOB again for a much more satisfying evening's entertainment.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 07-07-2010 07:09 PM                     I've just seen Spamalot this evening (It's currently on a UK tour) It was enjoyable but a lot of it is a repeat of the film, which is good thing and a bad thing. Impressive how they managed to acomplish on stage the scene where King Arthur battles a knight (with the Knight losing all his limbs).  |  IP: Logged
